Assessment Objectives:

Recall, select, and communicate knowledge and understanding of ICT. This means you will need to remember definitions
and descriptions. In some instances, these will be generic. However, in many instances, they will be linked to a context.

Apply knowledge, understanding, and skills to produce ICT- based solutions. This means you will need to use your
knowledge and practical skills and apply them to complete the tasks.

Analyze, evaluate, make reasoned judgments and present conclusions. This means you will need to decide why one
decision is more appropriate than another and explain/discuss in detail why.

Exam preparation guidelines.

 Revise the theory chapters, go through the important questions of each chapter, and make revision notes.
 Practice practical chapters, making sure you understand each task.
 Make notes of what is difficult or what you don’t understand and discuss in class.
 Solve past papers and then check them against the marking scheme to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses.
 FINAL EXAM 2024 SYLLABI GRADE 9
IGCSE ICT – 0417 AY – continued

Examination guidelines.

 Please make sure that you read the questions carefully.

 Make a note of the command word used in the question. Underline it. It will help you decide how short or detailed
your answer should be and will help you structure your answer.
 If a question asks you for the advantages and disadvantages, make sure you give both and more than one of each.
 If a question asks you to 'compare and contrast' make sure you give both, e.g. some aspects that are the same and
some aspects that are different between the items.
 Do NOT give more answers than what are required in the question; if a question asks for 2 advantages, giving 3 will
not get you more marks, the first 2 will be marked (whether correct or incorrect). If you choose more than one
option in MCQs or give more than one answer in fill in the blanks, both will be marked incorrect.
 Do NOT leave any question unanswered. Remember, an empty sheet will not get you any marks.
 Do NOT just write all you know, only write what is needed to answer the question.
 Plan your answers. Clear, concise, well-ordered, well-argued, well-supported answers get more marks than long,
rambling, muddled, repetitious answers.
 Use generic terms rather than using names of software in your answers e.g. instead of writing ‘Microsoft Excel’, use
‘spreadsheet software’.
 You will need to produce screenshots to provide evidence for some tasks. Make sure these screenshots are large
enough to be read and understood. Also make sure your screenshots do not have important information cropped off.
