Should I do B. Commerce if I'm bad at maths?

    I'm a good student- get H2s & upwards in most of my exams, probably in top 3 in most of my classes. Do HL everything, except maths. In maths I usually only get O3s or O4s.
    Really, I want to do Arts but I realise it's probably not practical & my parents want me to do this course. Is it an option for someone who struggles with maths?

    Uhoh.
    It's not your parents will be doing the course.
    Please choose a course you have an interest in, otherwise you are likely to drop out.

    There is a far wider range of courses available now than there was when your parents were at college. Have a look and find something that interests you.

    You'll cope with the maths, you won't cope with doing a course you're not interested in, as spurious said.

    Recipe for disaster right there.
