Is it worth doing General Studies A-level?

Im doing my education in Israel right now and I finished grade 11, and Im doing the Israeli Bagruts, which are equivalent to A-levels. (The system is similar to the IB also).



Im doing:

- 4 Units of Math (A-level)

- 5 units of history (A-level) - completed it this year.

- 5 units of Biology (A-level)

- 5 Units Hebrew (A-level)

- 5 Units of English (A-level) - completed it this year.

- and I also completed an Arabic GCE (the arabic A-level with Edexcel) in May and June.



now, is it worth doing General Studies GCE in the winter next year? (Winter 2010-2011). could I do it myself and get a high mark in it? Ive read about it and It and seen previous tests of it on the Edexcel site, and it seems really easy.

I know that people say Its a waste of time.. but what have I got to lose if I do it? But could it give any advantages of any sort?



Im applying to: Southampton, Cambridge, Leicester, birmingham, and Manchester. - and They
