Q: How do I try a free CXC Human and Social Biology question?

Just tap any of the four options on this page — no signup, no card, nothing to install. You'll see the correct answer and a full mark-scheme-style explanation within a second. Each visit shows a fresh randomly-picked question from the live CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology bank, so you can keep refreshing to try different ones before deciding whether to create a free account for daily access.

Q: Is Kramizo really free for CXC Human and Social Biology 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 Human and Social Biology questions aligned to the CXC CSEC syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology 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

A student at a secondary school in Trinidad was examining a prepared slide of human tissue under a microscope. She observed long, cylindrical cells with multiple nuclei and striations. Which type of tissue was she most likely observing?

Accepted Answer

Skeletal muscle tissue — Award 1 mark for identifying that skeletal muscle has multinucleated, striated fibres. A is incorrect because epithelial tissue consists of closely packed cells in sheets without striations. C is incorrect because nervous tissue contains neurons with single nuclei and no striations. D is incorrect because connective tissue has cells scattered in a matrix, not elongated striated fibres.

Answer

Nervous tissue

Answer

Connective tissue

Answer

Epithelial tissue
