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

5 criteria
A.P1Explain how global and domestic passenger travel usage and options has changed over time.
A.P2Explain the negative impacts of two global and domestic passenger transport options and possible solutions.
B.P3Locate popular air, road, sea and rail routes globally and explain how facilities at the major transport hubs meet passenger needs.
B.P4Explain how different types of transport organisations provide or the specific and general needs of passengers.
C.P5Explain how key web-based technologies may affect travel choices and transport options for different types of customers.

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Analyse global and domestic passenger transport options, trends and negative impacts.
B.M2Assess transport hub facilities, products and services for different transport options for one complex journey in your own country and how well each meets passenger needs.
C.M3Analyse the influence of a range of web-based technologies on the accessibility and availability of transport options for different types of customers.

Distinction

3 criteria
A.D1Evaluate the potential impacts of new transport technologies and passenger transport initiatives at a global and domestic level.
B.D2Evaluate to what extent location and passenger needs influence facilities offered at major global transport hubs and whether the needs of passengers are met by different hubs and transport organisations
C.D3Compare and contrast the use, availability and effectiveness of differing web-based technologies, for different types of customers, and the extent of their influence on travel choices made.

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.

ExplainLocateAnalyseAssessEvaluateCompare
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.
