Cambridge Pre-U Physics

book cover

Advanced Physics covers virtually everything in the Pre-U Physics syllabus (including some of the philosophical and historical contexts) and is an ideal text to support the course. A free comprehensive guide to how Advanced Physics supports each syllabus section is provided below.

About the Cambridge Pre-U Physics course

  • The Pre-U physics course was designed to equip students with the skills required to make a success of their subsequent studies at university.
  • It nurtures the ability to undertake independent and self-directed learning and to think
  • Pre-U Principal subjects (like Physics) can be taken as part of a Pre-U Diploma or as standalone qualifications alongside A Levels from existing boards.
  • Using the Guide

    This online guide provides support for teachers and students who are using Advanced Physics with the Pre-U course. It is divided into a series of 20 short documents, each of which covers one syllabus section and has a similar structure:
  • Mapping of syllabus statements (table) to Advanced Physics spreads
  • List of relevant questions (practice and past A-level)
  • Additional notes and some suggested resources for the philosophical aspects of the course
  • The introduction gives more information on the differences between Pre-U and A Level and how Advanced Physics matches the course.
