You DONT need to study the HSC subject recommended for your future course. For instance, I didn't study biology, and I'm currently studying nursing. Generally, HSC subject aren't compulsory for univeristy degrees rather they are 'recommended', unless it states so. I doubt economics is a complusory subject for Marketing...

Don't risk it. Just drop if you're preforming horribly. Discuss with your teacher what your best option is too tbh. Maybe there are particular areas you need to work on.

If its a prerequisite then you have had to have done the subject.

If its merely recommended, then you don't have to study it for the HSC. (But I'd strongly advise to stick with the subject)
