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

7 criteria
A.P1Outline the suitability of different charging systems available for electric and
A.P2Describe requirements of a repair network sufficient to support electric and hybrid vehicles.
B.P3Describe given environmental policies that affect the production and use of electric and hybrid vehicles.
B.P4Describe ways that vehicle-based laws that can impact on electric and hybrid
C.P5Describe the lifecycle for electric and hybrid vehicles.
C.P6Explain the end-of-life process for a range of battery types used in electric and hybrid vehicles.
D.P7Explain the use of fuel cells, supercapacitors and energy recovery systems in vehicle fuel efficiency.

Merit

4 criteria
A.M1Compare traditional fossil fuel infrastructures with electric and hybrid vehicle infrastructure.
B.M2Explain the impact of given environmental and vehicle-based laws/policies on the
C.M3Assess the lifecycle and end of life processes needed to support electric and hybrid vehicles.
D.M4Analyse the operation of energy storage and recovery systems used on current electric and hybrid vehicles.

Distinction

4 criteria
A.D1Analyse improvements needed to existing automotive infrastructure to support the growth of electric and hybrid vehicle use.
B.D2Evaluate the impact of given environmental and vehicle-based laws/policies have
C.D3Evaluate the lifecycle planning for electric and hybrid vehicles, vehicle recycling and battery reclamation processes.
D.D4Evaluate the use of energy recovery systems on current electric and hybrid vehicles, how that energy is stored and recommend improvements.

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.

OutlineDescribeExplainCompareAssessAnalyseEvaluate
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.
