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.P1Sources of information
A.P2Describe different measuring instruments and their use
B.P3Interpret the main features of a motor vehicle wiring diagram that complies with drawing standards
B.P4Describe the function of solid-state devices in motor vehicle circuits
C.P5Sources of information

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Describe the function of an ECU in motor vehicle circuits
B.M2Explain how measuring instruments and wiring diagrams are used to test motor vehicle circuits
C.M3Carry out a series of system tests to obtain results using information and instruments and in a safe manner

Distinction

2 criteria
AB.D1Explain the function and operation of motor vehicle circuits, including the role of the solid-state devices and the ECU
C.D2Carry out a series of system tests with accuracy to identify component failures, using information and instruments in a safe manner

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.

SourcesDescribeInterpretExplainCarry
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. Investigate the use of measuring instruments and wiring diagrams for vehicle electrical and electronic systems
  • B. Understand the principles of solid-state devices used in electrical and electronic circuits and components
  • C. Safely conduct electrical and electronic systems test on vehicles

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.
