Lowest grade in college not counting zeros

prplchknz · 09-04-2008, 05:35 PM

So what's the lowest you've ever gotten while in undergrad? I got a 3% in my fundementals class,I actually failed all my classes that semester, but that was a shitty semester. Reasons I'd rather not go into, I don't think I'll ever get another 3 again in my life.

though I have to say, I'm kinda proud I didn't think it was possible to get that low in a course besides a zero. I feel like I've accomplished something, and never needs to be accomplished again.

I got a 23% on an organic chemistry test once. I was so proud of myself and told everybody!

Fail with flair!!

In a 3rd year chem lab report I got 2.5/10. I think the class average was a 3/10, though.

Lowest I've gotten in a course is a C (still bitter). Don't remember for tests/projects - probably around 60% since I don't remember ever failing one. Actually I think to have gotten a C in that course, I may have needed to fail the final exam. Don't know.

I don't know, I've never completely not studied for anything in undergrad, so the lowest I tend to do is just-barely-passing (ie, if I just-barely studied).

Here exams are scored on a 0 (min) to 30 (max) basis. 18 means that you have passed.

The lowest I've scored was 2. I hadn't attended the classed and I hadn't studied the topic, nor I did any exercise before.

If you don't count the classes where I didn't attend and didn't drop (because I was stupid)...

I've never gotten less than a 60%. I almost always score well on tests, even if I don't go to class and don't do the homework. I've been accused of cheating a couple times in my life because of this. I guess not that many people can perform calculus derivations on the fly, during an exam. /shrug

I achieved a 7 in an A Level Maths test. It was a record of sorts.

I got a 0 out of 10 on a true/false math test once (calculus) my freshman year- a friend pointed out that statistically speaking, a trained monkey could have done better than I did on that test.

In my defense on that though, I've never gotten over a 40% on a true false test- I just flat out suck at taking them

I had a D for my Computer Hardware class, something I'm particularly skilled at, ironically enough. The girl in charge of compiling our group project (a user's manual explaining how to assemble a PC) never turned our project in. I think the professor was actually lenient on me since that was 50% of the grade.

I don't honestly remember - but that was that time that I sorta forgot to take my final exam that was worth like 50% of the grade. Oops.

Thankfully, I was allowed to take the course over again and replace the former grade with the latter. Heh.

For instance the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen is very slow and not observed in absence of a suitable catalyst. It has been suggested to replace the term spontaneous with eager.
