There was that time I was predicted almost all A*s at GCSE and came away with CCC.

There was also that time I was predicted A*A*A*A for A level and barely scraped passes in them.

Take your pick :h:

Doing GCSE ICT.

****ing kill me.

Well actually, my biggest fail was being predicted ABBB (or something like that) and coming away with UUUD for AS. Currently repeating the year. It's actually incredibly fun! :biggrin:

U in GCSE food tech

Top of my class in Latin, chosen to do Greek with the super nerds

Dropped Greek... Latin GCSE = D grade

Either that or failing AS algebra and statistics....

I remember getting like 13% in a physics test once, my teacher described it as "a bit of a disaster" :tongue:

cambridge maths interview; interviewer asked me to sketch y = - x - 2 and I sketched x - 2. (I was doing really bad so they kept dumbing down the diffculty)

needless to say I did not impress them and that interview went spectacularly poorly
