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

1 criteria
G20.P1Pass Competent At Pass, learners present material that shows an understanding of a different target market and how their existing material would be adapted and developed to meet the expectations of a specific country or territory.

Merit

1 criteria
G20.M1Merit At Merit, learners present material that shows a full understanding of a different target market and a clear consideration of how their existing material would be adapted and developed to convincingly meet the expectations of a specific country or territory.

Distinction

1 criteria
G20.D1Distinction At Distinction, learners present material that shows a thorough understanding of a different target market and a comprehensive assessment of how their existing material would be adapted and developed to fully meet the expectations of a specific country or territory. Accomplished Checklist of evidence required Your proposal should include the following: Task 1 A proposal for how to adapt your profile for a chosen international setting. 13 BTEC Creatives Performing Arts © PeopleImages / Getty

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.

PassMeritDistinction
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.
