<p>ITT your experiences with failing a quiz, test, essay, midterm, class, etc.</p>
<p>I think I failed my Algebra 1 final in 8th grade because my teacher got knocked up and left us with a horrible teacher. More recently, I think I failed a U.S. history quiz on the third day of school and that would mean I have an F in a class...but I'm not sure because the American grading system is completely unfamiliar to me. :/ :\ :/</p>
<p>Yeah...I managed to get 0 on a AP physics thing because I basically can't read. And in AP chem I used to sometimes get like 2/17, but made it up by getting like 15/6 other days (quizzes graded on average).</p>
<p>I have a F in AP physics because my teacher can't work the online thing so when she entered our textbook numbers it counted it as grades and took everybody down to like 0% since the book numbers are like 00-78-32-kW.</p>
<p>Today, I bombed an AP Physics test. The entire class failed it, and our teacher literally doesn't teach, so I really don't feel that bad about it</p>
<p>Ah, my greatest failure was in my sophomore AP chem class -- I was absent for the first month or so of school, and the teacher had a very precise method which we were supposed to follow for our lab write ups (which were worth like 40% of our grade btw). So, I was absent for the first 15 labs (they were all safety/general equipment things), but I still needed to hand them in --- so I did, formatted incorrectly. I ended up getting Fs and Ds on all of them, haha; not a good way to start off the semester (ended up in that class with my lowest grade evar! B+, and in a science, for shame!)</p>
<p>^ Uhg... Lowest? Then again I've had some pretty crappy years with things beyond my controll, and well this is CC.</p>
<p>Actually last year I almost failed all of my classes except band and debate. It sounds horrible, but I was having some issues with things at home resulting in stress which resulted in some mental issues which made it so I couldn't seem to pay attention no matter what. I tried so hard, but nothing seemed to work. About a month before school got out I managed to pull all my grades to B's (except debate and band, which stayed at 100% for both). I ended up with three 89's. It still makes me mad.</p>
<p>So, obviously from that, I failed a fair amount of tests. I'm really ashamed of it, but there wasn't much I could do. :( Hopefully it doesn't repeat this year. Then again most of my teachers this year know what's going on so they're willing to work with me.</p>

Evarrr?! Lol. You of all people should NOT do that badly in a science class... lol.
That would be like.. me getting an 88 on my AP Euro test?! Which I just did?! Hahahha.</p>
<p>^ I'm guessing you like AP Euro?</p>
<p>I thought I failed my physics homework, until I learned that its graded on a 20 point scale :D</p>
<p>Failure.. hmm.</p>
<p>I can't say that I've ever really failed a test I needed or wanted to get an A on. I mean, there was this one time that I bs'ed a calculus quiz having been too busy in the week.. I got by with a B- that was hardly deserved. I remember saying the night before the quiz "f it, I don't know the concepts and I'm tired! Time to sleep!" x_X;;</p>
<p>I made it up for an A, later.</p>
<p>I have no idea what's going on in my AP Physics B course online... but I technically have 130% because you get one extra credit point for every error you find. :) </p>
<p>My asian fail (Only B): Algebra II online. I did every single assignment in this class in the last 3 days. I pulled a triple all-nighter. I ended up with a 90 though! :( I guess I was lucky the teacher was willing to grade all of the ~120 assignments + tests/quizzes.</p>
<p>I failed a phonics test in 1st grade. I failed a math test in 5th grade (didn't count on grade tho..it was on 6th grade topics). Interesting that I'm now MAO prez lol.</p>

<p>Yeah, but he's going to post last weeks grades and that will bring me down under 100%. If I don't start understanding stuff soon, the extra credit won't be helpful much longer. We don't have that kind of grade inflation.</p>
<p>I would have failed every Algebra I test ever, if not for my school's "get a B/80% or retake until you do" policy.</p>

<p>Who's the online course provider?</p>
<p>OH, I have another one...</p>
<p>Last year I had HORRIBLE test anxiety. When my Latin midterm came around my anxiety was at its peak so I litterallly bombed my midterm. I think I got a 52% or something. I got a B in the class which I'm still mad about because I knew the material at an A level. I started balling about half way though the test and started crying really hard after I finished it.</p>
<p>I had woken up late that day and missed in completeness my Science midterm. That didn't help much.</p>
<p>I got another few. I went to nationals and had to miss four days of school. I came back and my USH teacher made me take a test without getting any of the notes. I managed to get a 50 on it. Later that quarter, we were assigned a book for the same class. Of the three tests he gave us on the book, one he forgot to tell our class about, and the other two I said, "Screw it, this book sucks anyway," and went to bed. I averaged 55% on those three tests. Still, I miraculously managed to pull an A in the class. Can you say grade inflation.</p>
<p>I got an 89.4% in my college political science class. One more point in the class and I would have had an A.</p>
<p>The last 2 Ap World history quizzes I failed, but I usually do well on tests and daily grades, so it'll equal out to a border line A.</p>
