Pass

7 criteria
A.P1– You have successfully explained the features and functions of typical hardware components found in two contrasting computer systems.
A.P2– You have successfully explained the features and functions of the software used in two contrasting computer systems.
A.P3– You have successfully explained the security threats, vulnerabilities and protection measures in two contrasting computer systems.
B.P3Explain sustainable business practices available to contrasting business
B.P4- You have successfully explained, using examples, how different types of data are represented in a microprocessor and include number conversions and binary manipulation.
C.P5Explain the impact on the environment of business activities for selected business organisation to improve its sustainable organisation.
C.P6- You have successfully explained how an instruction is typically executed in a microprocessor. This is a well-organized piece of work Kevin. Well Done!

I understand that false declaration is a form of malpractice. Learner signature: Kevin Yanny Date: 1 3 - 0 7 - 2 0 2 5

Merit

B.M2- You have successfully discussed accurately, using examples, how data is represented and manipulated in a microprocessor.

Distinction

4 criteria

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.

ExplainAnalyseJustify
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.
