are you willing to learn the std content you missed?

advanced is easier in a way considering how late it is, and depending on your atar goal, you can easily still do well

pretty much all of the standard questions you need to read whole paragraphs or interpret graphs and data and stuff, and yes you have to do that for advanced but most of it is just looking at an equation and solving it, So id say stick to advanced.

All you have to do is go to thsc trial papers and do questions from the topics in your exam (for now atleast) and if you dont understand it look at the solution, and if u dont understand that, look on youtube (organic chem tutor) or ask ai (chatgpt has been pretty good at explaining math to me for uni, but can be sketchy) and you obviously have your teacher. You're also already familiar with advanced content.

in the holidays i was doing about 40-60 mins a day but i didnt study other subjects as much, until near the hsc, but even 30 minutes a day is good as long as youre consistent. you can even do that 1 hour in class and do other subjects at home
