I have failed my driving test 8 times.
I even had to retake my theory test- not because I failed that (I didn't- 35/35 on multiple choice and 61/75 on hazard perception) but because I spent so long failing the practicals that my theory certificate ran out. I've pretty much given up now.

RE exams? I got an A*. Took the GCSE a year early for being in the top set. One girl in the class, however, vommed all over the paper. Apparently she got a C.

Hanging Out
I tried to hang out with inteligent, clever, wealthy people. But they all thought that they were better than me.

RE Exams are a pile of Bollocks..
I never was the greatest in exams, I was perfectly fine in the lessons, just shite in the exams.

On the day I was to take the RE Exam (it was only a half GCSE), I slept in. I have no idea how, the exam didn't start until half one in the afternoon.

Well, I ran round to the school, I'd not missed an exam yet, and I didn't want to start by missing this. In the Mocks, I'd got the lowest score in the school, ever, I got 1/2 a mark, and that was just for writing 'Jesus, this exam sucks' on the answer sheet.

In the real thing, I went one better, I wrote my name on the answer sheet, then 'Did Jesus have to take an exam to become the King of The Jews? I don't bloody think so, so I'm not taking this exam', and walked out after 5 minutes.

I got 0/100, and obviously failed.

I also got asked to explain my behaviour in the exam to the headteacher too.

BSCI (one of the Cisco certifications)
...took me five bastard attempts to get it. Became a personal mission in the end. I just found it dead, dead 'ard. Almost (probably did) become a standing joke in the office.

Not myself (seriously, wasn't me, honest!)
A guy I used to work with in an old computer shop. After we'd all pursued new careers (ie got fired for something or another), he went for an interview with the easiest employer of all. MacDonalds.

And failed. Miserably.

He now works in PC World. I wouldn't trust him with an electric toothbrush, let alone a computer.

Job
I have thus far failed to find a job that doesn't make me spend hours each week reading QOTW.

I have also failed to provide a decent answer to this question.

Oh but I have remembered some other failures in my life.........

I have failed some accountancy exams, but that shit is so dull I am surprised I ever passed in the end. I got 7% in a mock exam once. Failed to come last though - some other bloke got 4%. I guess what is scary about that is that the first 25 questions were multiple choice! Some skill required to get that many wrong. Would have been better off going 'C' on every question.

Failed microeconomics at university, despite the questions being almost identical to the ones we had been set during the term. Bloody N64 and Goldeneye ruined my second year at university.

Failed to make a gag about size / length etc.

Oh, I've failed so much..
On the first time I failed my driving test, I was asked to reverse park into a bay. I managed the manoeuvre, and ended up parking the car right in the centre.. of one of the painted lines. Hmm. With this, I was asked to set off out of the car park. Whilst setting off, I stalled the car. Erk. Then, whilst turning out of the driving centre car park, I managed to hit the kerb. Eep.

Three major fails before you even leave the car park? That's me all over.

Cooking Related Failure
I failed to remember that plastic bottles melt when you pour hot oil into them and scalded my hand rather monstrously a month before I was due to get married. My engagement ring had to be cut from my blistered, swollen fingers, taking a nice chunk of skin with it.

I also failed to cook rice properly this evening as I was too busy reading this QOTW thread.

I knew what I wanted to do at College and English Lit was not needed
so I did no revision at all. The teacher only put me in for a CSE instead of an 'O-Level' as he knew I didn't care. I got the various stories muddled up; Kes was a mouse who lived in Lenny's pocket during the great depression in Yorkshire etc.

Got a 'U" at CSE Lit - can't be many of them about.

Personal Property
I thought it would be a good idea to take a module in Law in my first year of my Geography degree at Nottingham University. Not because I was any good at it, my friend who lived below me was studying Law and said he'd help me out.

I went to one lecture in total. A man who looked like Harold Bishop waffled on for 90 minutes, and spouted words like "Fungible" which I promptly added the "funny words list" that I had started on my notepad. Didnt understand a word of the entire lecture.

Exam time came. We were presented with three Personal Property case studies, and I proceeded to write eight whole pages on exactly how and why I thought the subject was breaking the law and how they should be reprimanded.

I got 15% in the end, my friend got 67%. It was a week later that I found out that there had been a global markup - of 15%.

Eight pages of sheer crap!

RE GCSE
Our school only considered it a 'half GCSE' so pass or fail it was worthless.

In the exam I decided to show off my arty side by spending the whole 90 minutes carefully drawing and shading in pictures that were in some way relevant to the question. I signed it off with the words, "Tony Hart has fuck all on me. I'm shit hot".

Suprisingly, I got a massive 16/100 which equated to a U. I can only assume that the examiner wasn't a fan of Vision On.

AS General Studies
both the first time (as I was doing Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry at the same time and gave them higher priority) and when they made me retake it the next year (as I couldn't be arsed with it.)

Also, for some time I have consistently failed to produce a halfway interesting QOTW answer that's not complete bollocks.

Y Grade
What is the Y grade?
The Y grade is a grade specifically designed to designate Work in Progress for courses that are intended to continue over more than one semester. The Y grade was introduced so that students would not receive an Incomplete on their transcript. The Incomplete grade would be misleading in these cases because the student is not required to complete the work during the semester when the grade is assigned.

Student Loan
I failed my application for a Student Loan. Apparently, I didn't make enough money to be considered. I thought the whole idea of student loans was to find people without money and lend it to them at stupid rates of interest. However I was wrong. I also failed to see the funny side of this and had to be forcibly ejected from a certain building society (rhymes with tallywhacks), by my brother-in-law's mother. That was a strange day.

We 'Think' It Means Failed
For GCSE Technology my mate managed to be awarded the grade of 'Y'. Over ten years on and still not one of us has a clue what that means, although we've all agreed it can't be good and should not be used on a CV. Our two best guesses so far are 'y did you bother handing in this coursework you tit' and the ultra-geordie-accented 'yowsless'.

Any ideas?

Maths challenge
during my first year of gcse's (1 year ago) The school entered the top 60 people in the year for a nation wide(apparantly) 'maths challenge'.
Now this pissed my off becuase it took my out of time out of other lessons to prepare and do thre test(well, that mas me 'official excuse' I was just lazy to be honest).
So for the first section I worked out the answer and wrote down the wrong one on purpose(multiple choice) second section I just guessed every answer.
Result? day of answers being read out in front of the whole year (average 300) ben: 53/60 jane: 52/60..........ron: 14/60 tim 0/60! woohoo!
