BTEC International Level 3 Artificial Intelligence

Unit 14: Unit 14 — assessment criteria

BTEC International Level 3 Unit 14 (Unit 14) — 60 Guided Learning Hours.

Internal / Optional60 GLH11 criteria

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 how mathematics is used in AI systems.
A.P2Describe mathematical concepts used to represent data and make AI decisions.
B.P3Use mathematical techniques to prepare and analyse data for an AI task.
B.P4Apply an AI model or algorithm to solve a defined problem.
C.P5Describe how mathematical models and techniques are used in AI systems.

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Explain the role of mathematics in the development and use of AI systems.
B.M2Use mathematical evidence to test and improve an AI solution.
C.M3Explain how mathematics influences AI outcomes.

Distinction

3 criteria
A.D1Evaluate the role of mathematics in the development and use of AI systems.
B.D2Evaluate an AI solution using mathematical evidence and testing results.
C.D3Evaluate the role of mathematics in AI systems.

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.

DescribeUseApplyExplainEvaluate
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.

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.
