Q: Is Kramizo really free for CXC Mathematics 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 Mathematics questions aligned to the CXC CSEC syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Mathematics 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

Accepted Answer

50 cm — Award 1 mark for correct answer. 2.5 m = 250 cm. Dividing by 5 gives 250 ÷ 5 = 50 cm per piece. A is incorrect because it divides by 50 instead of 5. C is incorrect because it fails to divide the total. D is incorrect because it represents a calculation error of 2.5 ÷ 5 without unit conversion.
