The Pre-U is a qualification designed to be a more challenging alternative to the A-Level. It is a diploma-style qualification, fully recognised for University entrance, where students choose three out of 27 “principal subjects”, graded on a Distinction/Merit/Pass system that is broadly comparable to the A-Level grading system of A*-U.
Successful completion of all three, alongside the completion of portfolios in “Global Perspectives” and an Independent Research Project results in the awarding of a Pre-U diploma.
The Pre-U is now offered in some subjects at many top schools like Eton, Westminster and Dulwich College, and Winchester College now offers Pre-U across all 6th form subjects.
With a Distinction-1 score (the top grade available) going beyond an A* at A-Level in difficulty and the recent announcement that Ivy League colleges are accepting Pre-U as an entrance requirement, this is hardly surprising, and with International Schools and hundreds of UK schools now getting on board, the Pre-U looks set to grow and grow in popularity.
Due to the increased difficulty level, students may well require extra help to complete Pre-U courses. Here at Owl Tutors we only employ qualified teachers. All of our tutors have classroom experience in the subjects they tutor, and have been personally interviewed and vetted by us.
