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

6 criteria
A.P1Outline key purposes of different websites used by organisations.
A.P2Outline key components of different websites used by organisations.
B.P3Identify the purpose and user requirements for a given website brief.
B.P4Produce a basic website design to meet user requirements.
C.P5Develop a website using own design, testing and refining for functionality, quality and usability using feedback from others.
C.P6Explain reasons for changes made to website following feedback and testing.

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Explain purposes and key components of different websites used by organisations.
B.M2Produce a detailed website design for a given brief.
C.M3Develop a website using own detailed design, refining the website against the test results, including rationale for changes made.

Distinction

3 criteria
A.D1Evaluate the effectiveness of different websites used by organisations in relation to their purposes and key components.

C.D3Develop a website using own comprehensive design, refining against the test results, including a justified rationale for changes and further improvement.

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.

EvaluateOutlineExplainProduceDevelopIdentify
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.
  • B. Design a website to meet user requirements
  • C. Develop and test a website to meet 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.
