It is fairly new.
Used by some grammar and public schools.
You have to find somewhere that offers it.
Unsure if you can do it as a private candidate.
Why not just do A levels? If you are being refused A levels, then imo its not really an option.

I'll stick my neck out and say that Pre-U's have harder content and tougher exams than normal A levels.
I think of it as a harder kind of A-level that's put together more like the IB.

You will need to look at the entrance requirements for medical science.
You are being pushed to betch because I assume your GCSE werent strong enough.

Not sure they will do direct entry so you may have to consider medical science with a foundation year?

You should do the applied science BTEC

ALWAYS CHECK ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS YOURSELF TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WANT AND IN YOUR CASE BTEC WILL DO PLUS ITS IN THE CORRECT SUBJECTS.

UCLAN and Chester have one.
