Worst Grade Ever

<p>Okay…we’re all good students on this forum.</p>

<p>That doesn’t mean we don’t screw up.</p>

<p>What are the worst grades you recall getting of significance? No, missing a homework, for example, worth .1% of your grade, is not significant. Missing all of your homeworks in a quarter is.</p>

<ul>
<li>9th Grade Research Paper:</li>
</ul>

<p>The assignment was to defend America’s entry into World War I. Instead of your standard thesis, first support, second support-type paper, I did a more narrative take on Woodrow Wilson and World War I…it consisted of eleven or so smaller body paragraphs and reading it sounded more like a documentary than a persuasive paper.</p>

<p>I spent a lot of time on it and was RIDICULOUSLY proud of it…and my very closed-minded history teacher gave me a 56 on it.</p>

<ul>
<li>9th Grade DNA Lab:</li>
</ul>

<p>Had to construct a model of DNA. Ten percent of the grade was creativity/artistry…so I decided that while everyone else used clay or K’Nex, I would use twizzlers, marshmallows, and skittles…really bad idea…it was HORRIBLE and I got a D</p>

<p>-This year, I’ve avoided all D’s and F’s, save for one:</p>

<p>In Business and Politics Honors, your quiz grade total counts as 25% of your grade, projects are 50% and homework is 25%.</p>

<p>All but one of my grades are PERFECT 100’s, except for one quiz I took. It was only 12 questions long and came as a bit of surprise to me.</p>

<p>I got a 7/12 on that quiz. It’s the only quiz we’ve taken so far, so it counts as 25% of my grade. So, my grade is a 92 instead of a 100. Bummer!</p>

<p>I think mine would be in English Lit. Honors:</p>

<p>We had an in-class essay on Pride and Prejudice and I didn’t read the book so I got a 60/100…
I ended up getting a 73% in the class that quarter but I got a 92% the next quarter to balance it out =)</p>

3

<p>I worked RIDICULOUSLY hard on an essay for AP World History, and ended up getting a 1/9 on it. :(</p>

<p>Flare12345neo:</p>

<p>You remind me of the OTHER D I got this year.</p>

<p>I hate AP essays. The 1-9 scale leaves a lot of gray area, for some reason.</p>

<p>Second week of school or so, we have to write a timed essay in class comparing three translations of Beowulf…ugh…I was baffled and had no clue how to compare them. I got a 3/9 on it…something equivalent to a 65.</p>

<p>Most of the time when I get bad grades it’s because I didn’t study or I didn’t work hard or because I forgot to write my name or something stupid. This time, I was clueless.</p>

<p>I never felt so stupid/incompetent in my life.</p>

5

<p>In sixth grade I got a 40/100 on a test, lol.</p>

<p>This year I’ve done pretty bad in math. This marking period I got a 7/15 on a quiz and a 69/100 on a test…</p>

6

<p>yeah those stupid 9 point scales seem so arbitrary.
My ap essay grades are like this (in order that i received them): 4, 8, 7, 8, 1, 5, 8 >.<</p>

7

<p>Lowest grade that I’ve ever gotten this year: 52 on a pop quiz in AP Lit…I didn’t read the book.</p>

<p>Lowest grade I’ve ever gotten in high school: I got only 2 questions right on a 7 question quiz, but my math teacher was nice enough to give me a 50.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You got a 1? yikes. AP teachers are harsher than the graders for the AP Exam. They give you a 3 if you at least had a thesis paragraph :-P</p>

8

<p>haha yeah i was pretty devastated when i got that 1.</p>

9

<p>71/100 on english final freshman year (not that bad of a grade, just 30% of my grade)</p>

<p>The occasional F on a test. You know, the standard.</p>

10

<p>My school is ridiculously easy…I got a C on a biology test freshman year and a B+ on an AP English paper…and that’s aout this :/</p>

11

<p>67 on a Geometry test freshman year. And a B- on my first ever high school science project, which had me scandalized until the teacher gave me a reality check.</p>

12

<p>I got a 1/3 on a pop quiz but i don’t think that counts since it was like 3 questions. lmao</p>

<p>ummm. i got a 53 on a math test a couple of weeks ago. seriously i had no clue what i was doing and i was supposed to go to extra help the day before but we had a snow day and my teacher was a beeyotch about it.</p>

13

<p>on a physics multiplw choice exam i got a .75/12 this year lol. I ened up getting a 66% aftr curve. Atleast i did decent on the fr on that test. BTW it was this year in ap physics.</p>

14

<p>I got a 16% on a quiz about The Wall by Sartre b/c I didn’t read the story.</p>

15

<p>I got a 78 quiz average in world history honors… for last 9 weeks</p>

<p>We had three quizzes in total, and I didn’t know we had to read one night, I missed class one time, and the other one week had like 5 weeks after we read the chapter.
(Ironically I had a 100 on all 11 tests, including the midterm, given out.)</p>

16

<p>i got a 34% on a alg. 2 quiz last semester. It was fine though, I knew i bombed it from the moment i saw the type of questions on it. I didn’t study for it though, so i guess thats the reason why i got that grade.</p>

17

<p>Got a 7 (SEVEN) out of 100 on my 10th grade chemistry test on Stoichiometry. Some guy got 97/100 and set the curve…so yes, I did hit double digits with a final score of 10</p>

18

<p>On the first AP chem quiz of the year I got 2/16 or something like that. I pretty much know I failed my math final yesterday, which means that I get a B in the class from a high A. Fantastic.</p>

19

<p>In first grade I failed a Phonics test and my mom made me stay up till like 2 am for an entire month until I consistenly got A’s. I’m glad she did.</p>

<p>In fifth grade I failed the last test of the year in Math, but it was just a preliminary test on the next year’s material.</p>

<p>In AP Phys this year I failed my first two tests, mainly because the teacher was terrible. Luckily he let me do EC to make up the grade.</p>

<p>I got a 64 on an Algebra 2 test</p>
