Not a chance.
You'll have to purchase a copy from the usual sources. You'll have to purchase a copy once you start cross country flying anyway.
As the charts have just been updated, that will cover you for the next year.

With the PPL Confuser there is no need to look at a chart. All information is contained within the appendices.

Can you post the question here? I have edition 5 of the Confuser and, at first, thought I might need a chart. But after re-reading the question I realised I didn't.
If a chart is needed in the latest edition then that is poor form.
You DO need a chart for the actual exam - but this should be provided by your flying school.

No chart needed
If you take a closer look at the 4 answers to Q26, you should quickly realise that there is only one possible answer, without reference to any charts
(Hint: There is no such thing as "Shawbury Airbourne Interception of Aircraft Area", which is answer A)

I stand corrected, to some degree...
In my Edition 5 of the Confuser, at the front of the Nav section it does state:
"To work through the navigation section, you will require an ICAO 1:500,000 Navigation Chart edition 23 or later..."
But it doesn't say WHICH chart.
You should already have your own chart of your local area. The questions for the Northern chart, as pointed out by Flying Robin should be answered without reference to a chart.
I note that in the next two questions in Ed. 5 there are references to chart symbols. The location of these on a chart is irrelevant and you should be able to identify and understand them on your own local area chart.

If a chart is required it will be provided. It is likely to be an out of date one too, because the question may assume a magnetic deviation which has changed sufficiently to make you pick the next multiple choice answer if you used a current chart 
So they have to provide you with the appropriate ancient chart.
