Q: Is Kramizo really free for CXC English Language students?

Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Q: Are the English Language questions aligned to the CXC CSEC syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC English Language syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank. We match the command words (state, describe, explain, evaluate), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'll see on real CXC past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

In a letter to the editor of the Trinidad Express, a reader writes: 'Carnival generates over 100 million TT dollars annually, yet the festival has become too commercialised.' Distinguish between the fact and the opinion in this statement.

Accepted Answer

The revenue figure is a fact; 'too commercialised' is an opinion — Award 1 mark for recognising that revenue can be verified against economic data, whereas 'too commercialised' expresses a value judgement. Treating both parts as facts is incorrect, since not every statement about a topic can be verified. Treating both as opinions because they appear in a letter is incorrect, since the type of source does not determine whether a claim is factual. Reversing the two classifications is likewise incorrect.
