What do you mean by British university preparatory courses?
Pre-U is a two-year course implemented by the Department of International Assessment (CIE Examination Bureau) of Cambridge University in 2008. The original intention is to extend the knowledge that A-Level courses do not involve or go deeper.

So far, the Pre-U course is not only respected by top universities in Britain, but also recognized by world famous schools including American Ivy League schools.

Although it is not as common as A-Level courses, the top private schools in Britain basically offer Pre-U courses, especially nine public schools such as CharterhouseSchool.

Course introduction

Pre-U course contains at least three core courses, and there is no specific number limit. In addition, there is a mandatory GPR (Global Perspective and Research).

As an "upgraded version" of A-Level, most of the courses are similar in content and can be taken together with A-Level, such as physical chemistry of A-Level and Pre-U mathematics.

Different schools offer different kinds of courses: some schools can choose all three courses, some schools only have A-Level and IB/Pre-U, or some schools only have Pre-U. You must make this clear before choosing a school.

The duration of the course is also 2 years.

Test scores are divided into three grades: excellent, excellent and passing.

For example, each grade is divided into three standards, which are D 1, D2 and D3. After conversion with grade A, D1= A *+D2 = A * D3 = AM1= A/BM2 = B/C;

Each grade is divided into three grades: 1, 2, 3. D 1 is the highest excellent level, and P3 is the lowest passing level. The course must pass three exams with a total score of at least 32 to obtain the graduation certificate.
