Assessment criteria

Reproduced verbatim from the Pearson specification — the same grid the assignment brief carries. A unit grade is the highest band where all criteria in that band (and every band below it) are met.

Pass

4 criteria
A.P1Sources of information
A.P2Describe the measuring and marking-out methods and equipment that are used for different applications
B.P3Sources of information
B.P4Select suitable measuring and marking-out methods and equipment for different applications

Merit

2 criteria
A.M1Describe what calibration is and how to take care of measuring and marking-out equipment
B.M2Safely prepare, set, position, measure and mark out different workpieces using a given work plan

Distinction

2 criteria
A.D1Explain how measuring and marking-out methods and equipment are used for different applications and the reasons why the equipment must be taken care of and calibrated
B.D2Safely measure and mark out different workpieces, showing a good level of skill

Command verbs in this unit

The verb decides the depth expected — that is what separates Pass from Merit and Distinction work on the same learning aim.

SourcesDescribeSelectSafelyExplain
Pearson's ladder runs Identify → Describe → Explain → Compare / Analyse → Evaluate / Justify / Assess. A Merit or Distinction criterion on the same aim always implies the Pass beneath it: an “evaluate” answer that never first “explains” fails, however polished it reads. Hover a verb for what it demands.

Learning aims

  • A. Know about marking-out methods and equipment for different applications
  • B. Be able to mark out engineering workpieces to specification using safe working practices

How checkb.tech checks this unit

Upload a learner's submission and checkb.tech reads it against exactly these criteria, reporting each one as met, partly met, or not met — with the evidence that informed the verdict cited, so every call is auditable.

The check runs against the official Pearson documents for this unit, and identical evidence always produces an identical result — the same script gets the same verdict every time.

It never awards a grade. You stay the assessor: confirm, dismiss, or act on every criterion before your assessment decision is final.
