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

5 criteria
A.P1Describe a vehicle inspection and maintenance procedure
A.P2Select appropriate equipment, components and materials for a vehicle inspection and maintenance procedure
B.P3Explain each state of a vehicle inspection and maintenance procedure for a specific vehicle and how appropriate data and information is used
C.P4Sources of information
C.P5Carry out a vehicle inspection and maintenance procedure safely

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Compare equipment, components and materials that could be used for a vehicle inspection and maintenance procedure for a specific vehicle
B.M2Justify the need for, and use of, specific data and information, equipment, components and materials for each stage of a vehicle inspection and maintenance procedure for a specific vehicle
C.M3Complete appropriate vehicle inspection and maintenance records

Distinction

2 criteria
AB.D1Sources of information
C.D2Complete a vehicle inspection and maintenance procedure and appropriate vehicle inspection and maintenance records safely and accurately

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.

DescribeSelectExplainSourcesCarryCompareJustifyComplete
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. Select data and information for vehicle inspection and maintenance procedures
  • B. Select equipment, components and materials for vehicle inspection and maintenance procedures
  • C. Safely carry out vehicle inspection and maintenance procedures and complete records

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.
