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 the organisation of the human body and the position of the main body organs
B.P2Explain, for each system, how its structure helps it to function.
C.P3Describe routine measurements and observations carried out to monitor body systems.
D.P4Identify the routine care given for each malfunction.
D.P5Describe the malfunctions and justify routine care given for each malfunction

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Illustrate the structure and function of two major body systems and how they interrelate.
B.M2Discuss how body systems interrelate to maintain homeostasis.
C.M3Explain the effect of malfunction on routine measurements and observations for each body system.

Distinction

3 criteria
AB.D1Sources of information
C.D2Task 2
D.D3Sources 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.

DescribeExplainIdentifyIllustrateDiscussSourcesTask
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. Know the organisation of the human body
  • B. Understand the structure, function and interrelationship of major body systems
  • C. Be able to carry out routine measurements and observations of body systems
  • D. Know body system malfunctions and appropriate routine care

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.
