Q: Is Kramizo really free for WJEC Religious Education 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 Religious Education questions aligned to the WJEC GCSE syllabus?

Every question is written against the published WJEC GCSE Religious Education 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 WJEC 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

Reformation — Award 1 mark for reformation. Non-religious humanists often emphasise reformation because they believe in human dignity and the capacity for people to change through education and support, rather than simply punishing them. A is incorrect because vindication focuses on upholding the law rather than changing behaviour. B is incorrect because retribution focuses on making offenders pay. D is incorrect because deterrence focuses on discouraging crime rather than changing the individual offender.
