The Cambridge Pre-U exam is a qualification planned by the Cambridge exam board as an alternative to the current A Level qualification, which is considered by many to have become devalued[1].
Many independent schools have expressed an interest in switching to the examination, which is considered better preparation for University than the A Level[2].
The Pre-U is expected to launch in 2008. It will not be modular like A levels, but will also not have compulsory subjects as the International Baccalaureate does[3].
