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.P1Explain the use of media and equipment to produce manual drawings
A.P2Describe the resources required to produce CAD drawings for a given building.
A.P3Compare manual and CAD methods for the production of drawings in
B.P4Produce construction drawings for a two-storey building drawn to an appropriate scale, containing some technical information following BS 1192:2007 standards.
C.P5Produce annotated 2D and 3D freehand sketches, using appropriate conventions, for the interior of a building.
C.P6Produce good-quality construction drawings for a two-storey building

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Analyse the use of manual and CAD methods to produce drawings for a given building in terms of their resource requirements, efficiency and cost.
B.M2Produce good-quality construction drawings for a two-storey building
C.M3Produce good-quality, annotated 2D and 3D freehand sketches for the interior and exterior of a building with convergence to vanishing points.

Distinction

3 criteria
A.D1Evaluate the use of manual and CAD methods to produce drawings for a given building in terms of their resource requirements, efficiency and cost.
B.D2Produce high-quality, fully annotated construction drawings for a two-storey building drawn accurately to an appropriate scale, containing detailed technical information following BS 1192:2007 standards.
C.D3Produce high-quality, fully annotated 2D and 3D freehand sketches for the interior and exterior of a building with accurate convergence to vanishing points.

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.

ExplainDescribeCompareProduceAnalyseEvaluate
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.
