What's the lowest mark you've gotten in a GCSE/A-Level exam?

Subject? Actual grade? (Or is this some other board that grades by A+, A, A- systems that I don't know of, or is this the American system?) Why cry? Troll?

I think he's being sarcastic...

... Or has extremely high expectations.

There was this one time I didn't turn up for a Photography exam - oh, and I got 9% on a mechanics paper in maths. But I dropped photography, and ended up with a b in maths, so it world out alright.

The examiner must have liked my giant eleven-page doodle of a dragon-elephant battle. :yep:

a B.

OP obviously wasn't successful in English GCSE either, 'gotten' makes me want to cringe.

I think you'll find 'gotten' is a real, and grammatically correct word. It just sounds a bit funny.

D in AS History last year D:
to be fair though, I did barely any preparation so probably deserved it...

D in P.E I think the fact that I was on crutches during pratical exams had something to do with it..
or it could be me not revising for the exam and being athletically challenged for most of my life
Or it was all a conspiracy to fail the entire year( I mean nearly 50% of the year got Ds or lower)

You got a D? You must be like Usain Bolt without crutches!

I got 19% on my AS Physics paper. However, one guy got 2%. So yeah, it was pretty dire.

GCSE - D in Biology ISA, can't tell you how I managed that.
A Levels - C in Maths C2

70% GCSE Maths

54 UMS (D) on Statistics 3. I have similarly extenuating circumstances as my calculator broke four minutes in.

Unfortunately I used to have a very nasty habit of swinging on my chair whenever I was thinking about something. Turns out that the first question of the exam completely baffled me and I swung back a bit too far... and fell very, very awkwardly :colondollar:

You'd think a Physics student would have more common sense than to swing on her chair, but noooo. Oh well. Served me right for being stupid, eh? Plus, the other people in the exam room got their grades bumped for the commotion. In any case, I've definitely learnt my lesson.

(Also, did I mention that the exam was about forces? :P)
