Cambridge Pre-U qualification

Cambridge Pre-U addresses the needs of teachers, students and universities by:

• Inspiring, challenging and rewarding students and preparing them for university
• Reporting achievement in a way that helps universities
• Enabling teachers to regain a passion for their subjects.

Assessment

Assessment of Cambridge Pre-U takes place at the end of the course. This linear structure creates more time for teaching and learning, free from the interruptions of modular exams.

Cambridge Pre-U reports achievement on a scale of nine grades:

• Distinction 1, 2 and 3
• Merit 1, 2 and 3
• Pass 1, 2 and 3.

Cambridge Pre-U is suitable for all students who would achieve a pass at A Level.

Cambridge Pre-U Diploma

Students can take Cambridge Pre-U syllabuses separately and receive a grade for each one. Or they can take the full Cambridge Pre-U Diploma. To achieve the Diploma, students must take at least three Cambridge Pre-U subjects (or a combination of Cambridge Pre-U subjects and up to two A Levels) plus Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives and Research.
