Remember though, it is extremely hard and nearly impossible to get over 80 in the hsc for standard english, but yes it is better to be on the top of standard than near the bottom of advanced. But asking your teacher would be a wise idea first.

Doesn't advanced and standard english scale the same?

(If you're confident in getting top 10 at standard, do it; if not stay in advanced, as it was said before its hard to get a band 5/6 in the HSC exam.)

In advanced or standard? I know it is hard in Advanced English to get a Band 6 because they ask for a lot, but is it possible to get Band 5, or is that just Standard?

It is possible to get band 6 and 5 in advanced, but nearly impossible to get it in standard

firstly, the most important thing is to make an appointment to talk to your teacher as soon as possible and explain your concerns. they can offer you better advice than any of us can as they will have a far better idea of your potential.
if you decide to stay in advanced and are still concerned over your ranking, than perhaps you should consider asking your teacher to recommend a good tutor? Tutoring can help refine your style, understanding and technique, thus improving your ranking.
lastly, don't rush your decision. you will need to decide reasonably soon, but make sure whatever decision you make is definately the one you feel most comfortable with as it will be difficult to change again later on.
