E in ICT AS. Got it rechecked as I was shocked about it I did good on mock papers. The teacher said the marker was very harsh.

Worst public exam would be a low C in French reading/speaking. (got a B overall) Couldn't understand any french so it was mostly lucky guesses.

Got an E in a biology class test in year 9.

A D in Higher Italian. But considering I didn't know any Italian beforehand and came in at that level I'm super pleased with my result- a D is still a pass :smile:

My worst ever mark I got was 2/80 on my maths last year in year10. Used to do higher maths and had such a bad teacher who didn’t care. Now that I’m in year 11 I do foundation lol.

I got a U (ungraded) in a French exam a few years ago, but have had plenty of other dodgy ones since then

I think I got an F in one of my history GCSE papers. U in as physics, although I was forced to take it, so didn't try. and 3/10 in a uni maths multiple choice test.

I've done worse in mocks though, I got a U in all GCSE biology mocks and in history.

*puts on glasses* ACKTUALLY my worse grade according to as of now being the 10th of April 2018 at 4:34am BST time I calculated that one time I got 98.7932% of my one of my Maths paper was the worse, it was absolutely heartbreaking, I knew I should've revised for that paper rather than thinking I could've aced it. Ahoo!

In the last 5 years it would be 42% for Spanish foreign language but of all time would be 30% in ICT back in grade 3

For me, a U in GCSE Geography mock in Year 11. I dropped it 😂
