I'm a foreigner studying the Year 12 (WACE) which is pretty similar to HSC.I'm new to the Australian curriculum and also new to the subjects I've taken (Business,Accounting,Economics,English,Maths AB-the simplest math) as I've been in a pure science class up to Year 11.Thing is,I'm planning to pursue a degree in Economics in USYD or maybe law,if my ATAR is high enough.My problem here is that I've performed badly for the first few assessments.I've had 1 test for Economics and Business,2 tests for Accounting,and 4 tests for Maths.I've done poorly for Accounting for my first test,scoring probably around 30+ out of 50% for my paper,but I've since showed some improvement in my second test.As for economics,I've scored a 8% out of 13%,which is considered quite bad.Also,I've totally given up on math,it's too time consuming and most of the time I ended up staying up late revising and ended up not having enough time to finish the paper.And I've never gotten good marks for my maths tests.There goes my efforts 
IS it okay to just get a pass for maths and consider it as my 5th subject?
The ATAR is calculated based on the best 4 subjects,in which im planning to focus on (all the business subjects + english).I am willing to work hard on my accounting and economics,as I'm not really that good in it and I believe by focusing more on these subjects might be of great help next year in uni,plus i wont be utilizing maths in uni next year anyways.I know I should do great in all 5 subjects but no matter how hard I try,I just can't raise my maths scores.It's april now,and so far for all the tests I've sat for,will those bad results affect my overall ATAR score if I'm willing to give it all from now right up till finals in November?Will it be of much help to get a 90 if my marks improve from now?I can't really seek advice from anyone and I don't want to disappoint my parents who have high hopes on me.I live away from home and I don't want my parents to worry about me.I'm willing to work hard but I'm afraid I won't be able to score a 90.
