You are better off sticking with Advanced in the scheme of things as it allows for more opportunities once you leave school. If you can fix the grammar issues, I see no reason why those marks would not increase to something like 7 out of 10 | 9 or 10 out of 15. I would be asking your teacher if he has any extra time to spend with you to show where exactly the points of weakness in your writing exists.

By looking at your ATAR aim, you are willing to commit yourself- so why not give it a go and see what happens.

If your doing well in the rest of your subjects, then dropping back to Standard isn't a bad option.

As for your mark for Module A...getting 5 or 6 out of 15 in Advanced is equivalent to 10 or 11 out of 15 in Standard.

My teacher said she could see some potential for me but was a bit unsure if I should drop or not so I got a tutor half way in year 12 if you can find one ASAP you wont need to drop my tutor helped me immensely! :)
