My current subjects are:

Advanced English
General Maths
Economics
Business Studies
Modern History
Biology
SOR 1


How well do these subjects scale? and if I wanted to drop any to maximize my marks (Biology or Business Studies) which one should I drop?
I know its probably a bit early to be thinking about scaling etc but I am aiming for an ATAR of at least 85 if not 90.

Thanks

I would say this combination is average/slightly above average in terms of scaling. I probably wouldnt think about dropping until at least the end of year 11/begining of year 12 when you have a better perspective on each subject. You should aim to drop the subject you are doing worst in and/or the one you like the least - for most people, it's usually this subject that has the least chance of counting.

Any tips for success in Modern History/Economics?
