Can I not sit my maths exam ( or fail it ) Will my offer be ok:(

Hi, i've got an offer from a scottish university to study medicine. The conditions are that i need 2B's at advanced higher. I'm taking 3 subjects right now: advanced Biology chemistry and maths. I am absolutely terrible at maths and I'm going to have to spend most of my time If i want to pull myself up to a B.
Is it ok if i just, don't sit my maths exam, so i can focus solely on chemistry and biology? Will my offer still be ok?

You can't just not sit the exam as the offer has been made on you taking 3 Advanced Highers. You can ask them if the offer will still stand if you drop Maths.

I would guess so from that offer un;ess it specifies which subjects the grades need to be in.
