Create a new folder called TAS
Locate the following files and store them in your TAS folder.
j2332banner.jpg j2332elep.htm j2332eleph1.jpg j2332elephant.jpg j2332monkey.jpg j2332tas.css j2332tas.txt j2332tiger.jpg j2332tiger.mp4
Open the file j2332tiger.jpg in a graphics package. Edit the image by:
• rotating it 180 degrees
• reflecting (flipping) it horizontally so the tyre is on the left
• cropping it to remove most of the tyre but none of the tiger
• cropping it to remove everything above the tiger’s ears
• resizing it so that the image is 1000 pixels high but without changing the aspect ratio
• cropping it to remove the right side so that the image is 500 pixels wide by 1000 pixels high.
Save this new image in your TAS folder in .png format, using the file name tiger_ followed by your candidate number, for example, tiger_9999
Display the contents of your TAS folder, showing the folder name, all file names, file extensions, image dimensions and file sizes.
Take a screenshot of this folder and place this in your Evidence Document.

Task 3 – Web Page
You are going to create a web page and stylesheet to promote the Tawara Animal Sanctuary. The web page and stylesheet must work in any browser. All colour codes are in hexadecimal and any new colour codes must also be in hexadecimal. Make sure that your stylesheet contains no HTML. Make your HTML and stylesheet as efficient as possible.

Create in your TAS folder a web page called tas.htm
This web page must be created using a single table and work in all browsers. The table must fit
80% of the browser window. The table must have a structure as shown in this diagram:
A
B width = 58% C width = 42%
D
E width = 29% F width = 29%
Each table cell is identified with a letter. Some dimensions are shown.
The cell contents shown in the diagram must not appear on your final web page.
Table borders must not appear on your final web page.

Task 4 – Spreadsheets
The Tawara Animal Sanctuary is currently running three projects: Elephant, Monkey and Tiger. Income is from donations and for each project they record the amount spent on food, veterinary bills and relocating the animals back into the wild. You will edit a spreadsheet for this data. All currency values must be in dollars ($), displayed to 2 decimal places.

Place in cell C23 a formula to calculate the balance for the Elephant project in January. This is the income for this project for this month minus the total expenditure for this project for this month.
Calculate, in cells C24 and C25, the balances for the other two projects. Replicate these three formulae for all other months. [4]
Apply conditional formatting to only the cells in the range C23 to N25 so that if a cell contains a value:
• greater than or equal to zero, the cell has a light‑green background with dark‑blue text
• less than zero, the cell has red text on a white background.
Place in your Evidence Document a screenshot showing the conditional formatting rules, cell ranges and formats.

Checked your answers against these? Let AI mark the whole paper, on your own working.
Examiners follow the generic marking principles at the front of the scheme, then each question's points: method (M), accuracy (A) and independent (B) marks, error carried forward where the scheme allows it, and positive marking, so you're credited for what you got right.
Check your answers against it
Done this paper? Upload your script and CIE Buddy's AI marker marks it question by question against this exact scheme, puts the ticks on your own working and says what each lost mark needed.
