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.

A.P1Explain how the design of the project meets functional requirements.
A.P2Explain how the design of the project meets aesthetic requirements.
B.P3Explain the methods and techniques used in the construction of the project.
B.P4Explain the selection of materials used in the construction of the project.
C.P5Explain the economic impacts of the construction project.
C.P6Describe the societal impacts of the construction project.
C.P7Explain the environmental impacts of the construction project.

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Discuss the design choices made in meeting the functional and aesthetic
B.M2Assess the methods, techniques and materials used in the construction of the project.
C.M3Assess the economic, societal and environmental impacts of the construction project.

Distinction

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.

ExplainDescribeDiscussAssessEvaluateJustify
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.
