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

7 criteria
A.P1– You have successfully described the function of four different components in an electrical system.
A.P2– You have successfully described the function of four different components in an electronic system. Pages 7 to 9 Comments note by the Assessor: Well, done, Kevin, you have produced an appropriate range of evidence, however I would have liked to see more detail in your work. Learner declaration I certify that the work submitted for this assignment is my own. I have clearly referenced any sources used in the work. I understand that false declaration is a form of malpractice. Learner signature: Kevin Yanny Date: 0 6 - 0 8 - 2 0 2 5
B.P3Explain the selection of electrical or electronic components for a routine maintenance task on an electrical or electronic system.
C.P4Prepare for and carry out a routine maintenance task safely on an electrical or electronic system.
C.P5Prepare for and carry out a routine maintenance task on an electrical or electronic system safely and independently.
D.P6Prepare for and carry out a fault rectification task on an electrical or electronic system safely with some assistance.
D.P7Explain the techniques used in preparing for and carrying out a fault-finding and a fault rectification task on an electrical or electronic system safely and independently.

Merit

5 criteria
A.M1Explain the effect of components on the operation of an electrical system.
A.M2Analyse the impact of components on the reliable operation of electrical and electronic systems.
B.M2Identify hazards and risks before carrying out a routine maintenance task on an electrical or electronic system.
C.M3Evaluate the selection of components and the effectiveness of a routine maintenance task on an electrical or electronic system carried out safely and independently.
D.M4Justify the techniques used in preparing for and carrying out a fault-finding and a fault rectification task on an electrical or electronic system safely and independently.

Distinction

4 criteria

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.

ExplainPrepareAnalyseIdentifyEvaluateJustifySourcesAnd
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.

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.
