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.P1Describe the construction and operation of stator and rotor type motors used in electric vehicles.
A.P2Describe one common drive system used in an electric vehicle application
C.P5Describe commonly used and specialist manufacturing equipment used to construct electric or hybrid vehicle motors.
C.P6Describe one electric or hybrid motor manufacturing process.
D.P7Explain safety issues that can occur within vehicle motor manufacturing for use in electric drive systems.
D.P8Describe ergonomic factors that need to be considered when manufacturing

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Explain the design and functioning processes of two motor drive systems for one hybrid and one electric vehicle
C.M3Explain one electric or hybrid vehicle motor manufacturing process including the commonly used and specialist equipment used in its construction
D.M4Analyse safety and ergonomic factors which must be considered when creating a manufacturing process for electric and hybrid vehicle motors.

Distinction

3 criteria
A.D1Evaluate construction and operation of AC and DC motors, rotor and stator types, in electric and hybrid vehicle applications.
C.D3Analyse the manufacturing process and equipment used to construct an electric or hybrid vehicle motor system.
D.D4Evaluate an electric vehicle drive system manufacturing process for its safety procedures and use of ergonomic production layouts.

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.

DescribeExplainAnalyseEvaluate
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.
