Well. I got 5/20 for my speaking exam for EX1, but my other friends got 1/20, so you're not alone :)

On topic: The worst I've seen is my friend getting 2% in MX1 ==;;
Oh well
I have two friends who got 0 in MX1, apparently the exam was really difficult, the top mark was only 80% (not for me, it's for year 11 mx1)

Damn accelerants =(
Don't look down on us!

Well anyways, 0? Doesn't that constitute as a "non-serious attempt"?
I mean, you get a mark for writing the formula, most of the time ==;;

and btw i mean you'd feel jsut as crap getting a mark of 27% than a mark of 0% or 0.5%...

some people have high standards and consider anything lower than 90% in maths as a failure and they'd feel just as bad getting 80ish% as someone that was mediocre in maths getting under 50%.
No that's just you. When people actually get 0 or like 0.5 % it's likely that the news will be spread and the chance is that he/she will be ridiculed. I mean, I am not even in my friend's class but look at how fast the news spread...(entire grade)

By the same logic, some people might feel good getting 27% - perhaps they're trying to improve.
But NO-ONE would like getting 0.5%
