Should I give up on maths A-level?

I do 4 A levels: Maths, Bio, Chem and Physics
My uni offer is A*AA with any combination of my subjects

At the moment I am struggling with revision but I think I can pull off A* in bio and A in chem and physics. However, I'm very behind in maths and I don't think I am able to get above a B, even with revision. I have been lagging behind in maths for ages now, it causes me a lot of anxiety and I don't like the subject at all, but my school wouldn't let me drop it.

Should I give up on maths (just do the exam without revising) and spend all my remaining time revising for my other 3 subjects?

I really want to meet my offer because it's my dream subject and uni.

I would never say to anyone to just give up on a subject, especially if you've completed the whole course content and there is a possibility that all the questions on the paper are in your stronger areas, however I would say that you should split your revision time in favor of your stronger subjects as these are likely going to be the ones which you use to fill you offer. That being said, an hour or so of maths a day from now to the end of the exams could be really beneficial and move you up a grade.
