Should I drop to general maths? (1 Viewer)

I just received my score from my yearly 2U mathematics exam and I revived 24%. The test was extremely difficult and only 2 people passed. I was really unhappy with this result considering prior I had ranked 2nd in the year for 2U maths, achieving above 85% in all past tests. However, I am really worried that with this mark I would be disadvantaging myself by staying in 2U, and should perhaps go to general where i would expect to get 85+ results. I really enjoy math and my teacher so I don't want to move, however I don't need math for my Uni course (law + business). My other subjects are modern, ancient, business, legal and adv. + ext. English. Would dropping to general allow me to focus more on these subjects also?
Would like to make a decisions ASAP as I finish year 11 in 4 days. All advice appreciated!

I'd say stay.
But on the other hand, 24% is worrying. Considering that two people passed, there is quite a large gap between the top kids and the rest.

Try another schools test?

It sounds like you should probably move to general mathematics and quickly catch up.
