Last week's math midterm.
I got a 75/120. I was late for class and overheard some guy saying 18 people in the class got 4.0. The class is about 35 people.
So I am fvcking fvcked.

Hmm... let's see... it'd probably have to be 92% is the worst I have done so far on a midterm... but then I'm a "all A's" student so that's not surprising...

Second semester of Calculus I got a D on the first test -- I spent so much time trying to answer each question "perfectly" (erasing mistakes in work, etc.) that I ran out of time to answer the last question which was a huge part of the grade.

After that I learned to just scratch out mistakes and to pay attention to the point values of problems, and I did manage to work back up to a B in the class.
