How difficult is it to make a B into an A* in A2??

I messed up my physics paper so bad... is there any chance I can redeem myself in A2? Is it possible to get enough raw marks to pull up to an A* from a B? If so how many would I require? Or should I forget it and go for a retake??? If it's possible pls lmk cuz I wanna avoid retake as much as possible

Just heard about Polytechnics, have a few questions....

So I was just doing uni research then I come across polytechnics, I want to do electrical engineering. from what I understand the main difference between polytechnic diplomas and university degrees is that uni does all the maths and scientific theory, polytechnics teach more hands on and application? and the jobs are different, the pay seems ok starting at around 2500-3000SGD after graduation? I don't see why not to take that instead of university. I was jsut wondering how are polytechnics, the syllabus, campus etc. Also I heard there's prejudice against going to polytechnics because older employers prefer degrees rather than diplomas? Also isn't it ok since some employers are willing to sponsor you for uni or something like that?? Please correct me if i'm wrong lowkey only heard about this a few days ago

I'm still doing my AS-level exams currently, and will graduate mid 2027. What grades should I be aiming for as an international student? I've heard AAB is the minimum you need, does that mean guaranteed acceptance with AAB, or just minimum to be considered? I guess I just want to know the minimum grade to be guaranteed acceptance. Also opinions on the university itself would be nice to know, I'm planning to do electrical engineering, please lmk if there are any other additional requirements I should know about.
