Exam Introduction
The full name of Pre-U is Cambridge Pre-U, which is an upgraded version of GCE A-Level. It was implemented in 2008 by Cambridge Assessment International Education. The course lasts for 2 years and extends the knowledge that is not involved or deeper in GCE A-Level, and is taught in Year 12-13 of some schools. As Pre-U courses are challenging, they are well received by the nine elite schools, and the Pre-U exam results are also recognized by top universities in the UK such as Oxbridge and all universities in the US Ivy League.
The three major subjects of Pre-U are all optional, and most of them overlap with GCE A-Level. Students can choose Pre-U for all 3 subjects or combine with GCE A-Level. For example, if students choose GCE A-Level Physics and Chemistry, they can choose Pre-U History. Therefore, the flexibility is very high.
Pre-U has another compulsory subject, GPR (Global Perspectives and Research), which is composed of global perspectives and research reports. In the first year, students will study a large number of global issues and exercise their thinking skills. In the second year, students will complete one extend research project and prepare corresponding reports.
