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
1B.P3Design a software program using an effective user interface
2B.P4Devise a range of tests identifying potential pitfalls, to ensure a software program meets user requirements and functionality.
2C.P5Devise test scripts to ensure a software program meets user requirements
C.P6Plan and develop software programming with an effective user interface, using designs and different techniques and tools to enable the testing of user requirements and to confirm it operates.

Merit

3 criteria
1B.M2Task 2
2B.M3Task 3
C.M4Design, plan, develop and test a software program using a range of software tools and techniques and ensure that it meets user requirements and operates as intended without any errors.

Distinction

1 criteria
3C.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.

DesignDevisePlanTaskSources
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

  • B. Design software programs to satisfy user requirements
  • C. Develop software programs to satisfy user requirements

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.
