Try looking for a Biology textbook that follows the syllabus? Maybe ask someone who just finished the course if there any really good textbooks they would recommend. That way, you'll have notes under syllabus dot points. I know that's how they work for humanities subjects most of the time (I'm...
Get the syllabus and basically teach yourself?
OR, you could possibly get a tutor/another Biology teacher to help you out if you are really struggling. Even if you aren't, second opinions can be invaluable in terms of study or going over assessments. You shouldn't have to drop a subject...

It's only too much if you make it too much. If you enjoy those subjects, and are willing to put in the work, you will be fine. Ultimately, nothing will be an 'easy' subject, you have to have the motivation to put in effort regardless of the content. I did both for prelim, and I'm still living :)
