At the moment i have
2u mathematics - 93
extention 1 mathematics - 33/50 but last 2 exams 49.7% and 54%
biology - 89
chemistry - 84
english advanced - 84
sor 1 - 42/50
business studies - 95

i dont no whether it will be my worthwhile dropping ext 1 math becasue it seems to be taking up all my time and my grades have really slipped in all my other subjects. i need a UAI of 99.2 to get straight into my degree. i dont really understand the whole scalling thing. i no bst gets scalled down slightly so if i keep doing well in it will it get scaled down? and what sort of marks should i be aiming for to get my uai?

If you do really well in bst, you won't get scaled down, unless your class scales you down. You should aim for at least in the 90's for all of your subjects. Keep extension, and try really hard, you could get your UAI.

Keep Business Studies - it's one of your better subjects. I'd recommend you drop Extension.
