Standard is not an easier subject, that is really just a common preconception in my opinion. Your chances of getting a band 6 in Standard are significantly lower than getting a band 6 in Advanced (you are looking for 14/15 in each paper-1 section and 18/20 in each module section as a minimum) so yeah just try really hard and don't drop.
I have been in Standard for a few years now and when advanced kids moved down to Standard their grades typically didn't change.
Most of the time you find that Band 6 Standard kids could comfortably fit in the very top end of Advanced
