Our AS-level General Studies was hilarious (i.e. pointless), but still mandatory. We did an Applied Maths paper (equivalent to getting a C at GCSE), a max-2-sides-of-A4 Ethics essay question (such as 'some people think abortion is bad, discuss'), a max-2-sides-of-A4 Arts essay question ('discuss a piece of art that has influenced you' - I chose Nevermind, oh dear) and best of all, a multiple-choice General Knowledge paper which was so bloody random that dudes who picked 'C' for the ones they didn't know got reasonably good marks. The Maths one was multiple-choice as well, come to think of it. I don't think I have included it on any CV or application EVER.
