0417/12 Paper 1 (Written), maximum raw mark 100
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began,
which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers.
Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
examination.
• Cambridge will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.
Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2012 question papers for most IGCSE,
GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level
syllabuses.

our holidays involve the adrenaline rush, followed by pure relaxation in
the best hotels where you will be truly pampered. Try a day on the slopes
followed by a superb a la carte dinner prepared for you by one of the world
finest chefs. You will not find these holidays in any brochure, each
holiday is unique to your requirements. Contact us using the image above
