Taylor’s College Pre-U Studies Programmes:
Cambridge A Levels (CAL)
Canadian Pre-University (CPU)
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP)
South Australian Matriculation (SAM)

Hi SkyHermit. In Malaysia, there are essentially two different kinds of A Levels. One is the Cambridge A Levels which is what is offered at Taylor’s Pre-U and the other is EdExcel A Levels. They operate very differently. The EdExcel system is that it has modular exams – basically each subject are divided into a few modules. At the completion of each module, an exam is conducted. To get the full grade, all grades from your modular exams will add up. For the Cambridge system, you’ll sit for 2 major exams – As and A2. Both these exams will test everything that you’ve learned for the year and half at Cambridge A Levels.

Still confused about your Pre-U choices? Ask us! Go ahead and post your questions here. Also feel free to scribble your queries on our Facebook wall at: http://bitURL.net/a3fr. See you!

Added on March 21, 2011, 9:11 pmThe main difference between the Cambridge A Levels and Edexcel A Levels is the course structure. In Cambridge A Levels (which is available in Taylor's), you'll sit for 2 major exams - As and A2. For example, when you join the Jan/March intake, you'll sit for your first major exam, the AS in December the same year (you'll be assessed everything that you've learned up till then). In June the following year, you'll sit for the A2 exam, which will assess everything that you've learned for the last 18 months
In the Edexcel system, it follows a modular system. This means that in each subject taken, your course content are divided into several modules (which may contain a number of chapters). For example, in the subject of Physics, you have a total of 26 chapters to complete. Module One consists of Chapter 1-8, Module Two Chapter 9 - 16... etc.

After you complete a module, you'll sit for an exam which only assesses the respective chapters in the module. Basically once you complete each exam, you will not need to study those chapters again.

You can give our counsellors a call at 03-56362641 to find out more.
