Cambridge IGCSE ICT 0417/22 is the May/June 2026 Paper 2 (Document Production, Databases and Presentations), variant 2. It lasts 2 hours 15 minutes, is worth 70 marks and is sat by every 0417 candidate. It is a practical paper done on a computer from eight source files, with marks given for printouts and for screenshots in an evidence document. The database task carried 30 marks, the document 25 and the presentation 15. This guide goes through the paper step by step and shows what the official mark scheme gave marks for. The paper and its mark scheme are free on the Tutopiya Learning Portal.

Task-by-task walkthrough

Task 1: evidence document (no marks)

You open the supplied evidence file, add your name, centre number and candidate number to every page and save it. It earns nothing itself, but the screenshots you place in it carry marks in Steps 1, 2, 3, 13 and 14.

Task 2: the Tawara Garages document (25 marks)

The document arrives with an A4 landscape page, 2 cm margins and three styles already set up, none of which you may change.

• Step 1, saving (1 mark): saved as TAWARAGARAGES in the format of your own software, with a screenshot showing the file type.
• Step 2, header and footer (4 marks): the header text “Document Author:” typed 100% accurately (1); a space then your name and numbers on the same line, centre-aligned (1); automated page numbers centred in the footer (1); and a screenshot of the automated file-name field code, with no path (1).
• Step 3, creating the ABTitle style (2 marks): one mark for creating it, naming it correctly and basing it on the default or normal style; one for all the settings: serif, 36 pt, right-aligned, bold and italic, single line spacing, 0 pt before and 6 pt after.
• Step 4, applying ABTitle (1 mark): to the title, matching the style you defined.
• Step 5, find and replace (1 mark): all three instances of “started” replaced with “begun”.
• Step 6, two columns (2 marks): a section break around the right text (1), and two columns with 2 cm spacing (1).
• Step 7, bullets (3 marks): bullets on the right lines (1), aligned to the left margin (1), single line spacing with 0 pt before and after (1).
• Step 8, the engine-bay image (4 marks): the right image in the right paragraph (1); cropped so the red border and everything outside it is gone (1); 5 cm wide without visible distortion (1); aligned to the top of its paragraph and the right of the column with text wrapping (1).
• Step 9, deleting a column (1 mark): the Mileage Interval column and its contents removed.
• Step 10, superscript (1 mark): applied only to the symbol and text “*monthly”.
• Step 11, table formatting (4 marks): the text in row 1, column 1 aligned to the bottom of the cell (1); 1 pt internal black borders (1); 2 to 3 pt external black borders (1); and one combined mark for borders and data inside the column width, every row on one line and a 7 pt space after the table (1).
• Step 12, proofread and print (1 mark): one mark for the whole document being right: paragraphs intact, landscape, consistent margins, pages and columns aligned at the top, no widows or orphans, no split list or table, no blank pages, the original styles unchanged with consistent spacing.

Task 3: the parts database (30 marks)

All dates had to import as day-month-year, and all currency values had to show the same symbol.

• Step 13, importing three tables (7 marks): the parts table’s nine fields and types (1), the suppliers table’s nine (1), the categories table’s four, all text (1), and the three primary keys, Part_number, Supplier_code and Category_code (1). Three marks checked specific fields: Cost stored as decimal and shown with a currency symbol to 1 decimal place (1), Date_added imported as DMY and displayed as dd-MMM-yyyy (1), and Weight stored as decimal and shown to 1 decimal place (1).
• Step 14, relationships (1 mark): both one-to-many links, suppliers to parts on Supplier_code and categories to parts on Category_code to Part_category, for a single mark.
• Step 15, a new record (2 marks): the Sun visor record entered once and 100% accurately (1), without overwriting an existing record (1).
• Step 16, the report (10 marks): one mark each for:
  • your details in the page footer on every page
  • the title Automotive Part Suppliers alone at the top, accurate and fully visible
  • the calculated field heading Overdue_cost, exactly as given
  • correct calculated values (Cost × 1.05)
  • those values in the same currency symbol to 1 decimal place
  • selecting Part_category INT, EXT or DL
  • selecting Available_year 2027 or later
  • the eight base fields in the set order with headings that match the data
  • the sort: ascending Supplier_name, then descending Category_name, with no grouping
  • landscape, one page wide, nothing truncated
• Step 17, labels (10 marks): from the suppliers table only. One mark each for:
  • your details top left on each label
  • Supplier_name centred, larger and bold, with no other enhancement
  • that formatting applied to Supplier_name only
  • excluding names containing Part or Motor
  • selecting Payment_terms of 30
  • the eight fields in the sample layout positions
  • all fields present with the right punctuation and spacing, no overlap and no truncation
  • the other fields left-aligned consistently
  • a descending sort on Supplier_name
  • a portrait A4 printout with two columns and five rows, ten labels to the page

Task 4: printing the evidence document (no marks)

You save and print the evidence document with your details on every page. The marks for its screenshots sit in the steps that asked for them.

Task 5: the vehicle recycling presentation (15 marks)

• Step 18, six slides (1 mark): all six imported from the text file, each with a title and bulleted list, no blank slides and no text changed.
• Step 19, header and footer (2 marks): automated slide numbers top right (1) and your details bottom left (1), each in the same position on every slide.
• Step 20, moving a slide (1 mark): Careers becomes slide 6.
• Step 21, the pie chart (1 mark): built from the six countries’ EV Cars figures only.
• Step 22, chart title (1 mark): EV Cars Recycled By Country, 100% accurate.
• Step 23, sector labels (3 marks): country and percentage only (1), outside each sector (1), no legend (1).
• Step 24, emphasis (1 mark): only the largest sector pulled away from the rest.
• Step 25, placement (1 mark): on the Vehicle Recycling slide, left of the bullets, fully visible, no overlap or split words.
• Step 26, sub-bullets (3 marks): the three lines on the Safety slide in lower-case roman numerals (1), aligned with the main bullet text (1), and in a smaller, italic font (1).
• Step 27, printing (1 mark): all six slides as portrait handouts, two to a page, each filling half the page.

Where the marks are on 0417/22

• Database work carried 30 marks: importing and setting up tables (7), relationships (1), data entry (2), the report (10) and the labels (10).
• Document editing carried 25 marks: headers, footers and saving (5), styles (3), layout of columns, bullets and the image (9), the table (6), find and replace (1) and the final proofread (1).
• The presentation carried 15 marks, 7 of them on the pie chart (Steps 21 to 25).
• Five marks need text typed exactly: the header text (Step 2), the new record (Step 15), the report title and the Overdue_cost heading (Step 16), and the chart title (Step 22).

How to self-mark 0417/22 with the mark scheme

1. Lay out your printouts and evidence document side by side with the scheme. Each line in the scheme is one mark, and the guidance column says where to look (for example “Evidence Document Step 13” or “Report 1”).
2. Check typed text letter by letter. A 100% accurate mark is lost to one wrong character or a missing colon.
3. Check every setting in a combined mark. Step 3’s settings mark, Step 11’s final mark and Step 12’s single mark each list several settings, and one miss loses the whole mark.
4. Recalculate a few Overdue_cost values by multiplying Cost by 1.05, and check that they show 1 decimal place with the same currency symbol as Cost.
5. Check the selection and sort in the report and labels by scanning down each column: no records outside INT, EXT and DL or before 2027, and no supplier names containing Part or Motor.
6. Count the label grid: two columns, five rows, ten to an A4 portrait page.
