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

6 criteria
A.P1Describe the operation of an electronic circuit
A.P2Determine voltage, current, resistance, power, supply current and fuse ratings in series, parallel and mixed resistor circuits
A.P3Select appropriate components to safely build an electrical circuit and an electronic circuit
B.P4Use suitable construction methods to safely build an electrical circuit and an electronic circuit
B.P5Explain the operation and typical applications of an electronic circuit
C.P6Use signal tracing, test point voltage and current measurement to identify simple faults in a pre-constructed circuit

Merit

4 criteria
A.M1Explain the impact of different circuit values in series, parallel and mixed resistor circuits
A.M2Safely and accurately build an electrical circuit and an electronic circuit
B.M3Construct electrical and electronic circuits safely and effectively and evaluate how circuit values affect their operation and application.
C.M4Evaluate the effectiveness of the fault-finding techniques used to identify simple faults in a pre-constructed circuit

Distinction

2 criteria
AB.D1Sources of information
C.D2Sources of information

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.

DescribeDetermineSelectUseExplainSafelyConstructEvaluateSources
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. Understand key electrical, electronic and circuit operating principles using safe working practices
  • B. Use components to safely construct electrical and electronic circuits
  • C. Carry out measurements and tests to find faults on an electrical or electronic circuit.

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.
