Cambridge Pre U

This section contains suggestions for material from the schoolphysics website that could be used with the Cambridge Pre-U Physics syllabus (for first examination in 2010).

CIE is not affiliated with the author of the site and has had no involvement with the content of this website.

The website does not necessarily cover all topics or cover any topic to the depth required for this syllabus, although some sections may cover topics in more detail than is needed.
It is the responsibility of the individual teacher to select the appropriate material.

References to work at GCSE level that might be useful at Pre-U level are shown as (14-16) or (11-14).

For the full version of the syllabus please see: CIE Pre U
