43% on an AP Physics test on electrostatics. As stupid as this is going to sound, this was mostly my teacher's fault, as he made the test far, far too long to be completed inside of an hour, so it was impossible to do most of the questions in time. He apologized for it, but didn't drop the marks.

I got 23% in an IB Chemistry test once. Didn't have a clueee on account of not having been taught anything and having no teacher.

I didn't feel so bad about it 'cause my friend's piece of paper wasn't even marked, it just said 'unmarkable' at the top! XD

Throughout the IB I continually adapted my concept of what a bad mark actually is, until by the end I just stopped caring about tests and bits of work which weren't strictly either IAs or the final things. Sadly and despite later apathy re: revision, the 23% was still my worst mark even though it belonged to a test for which I had actually revised!

I haven't encountered that kind of horror before D: That is, scoring badly on a test I wanted to do good in. I score bad on tests I don't care about, though :)
