in advance

Dear teacher

" It seems like he's getting things ready in advance before he goes out "
in advance in this sentence is right ?????

Thanks

Yes it is.

As I know, in advandce means before st happens

I think that it should be written:
" It seems like he's getting things ready in advance he goes out "
( "before" is omitted)

Am I wrong???

The above sentence is wrong. "Before" cannot be ommitted because "in advance" is used as an adverb, not as a conjunction that starts a clause.
