what is the worst test isn't conveyed by the score you got on it. I've had tests that I've gotten a 0 on and felt absolutely unscathed(I didn't try, there was very little on the line), there are tests i've gotten a 80 on and felt absolutely demoralized and it made me doubt my abilities. There are tests such as math competitions that I got 70's on and felt like a genius. The numerical score never tells the whole story just by itself

I had a teacher ask questions about material not from class and not in the book. Everyone failed. It was beyond unfair.

Course on proofs. I studied hard and weeks later it paid off. I received my first 100%! I was elated. For the first time I felt confident in mathematics, even thinking perhaps I was another Ramanujan...then the very next test I got a 23%. (You did a video on this and it is so true).

I don't have just one. It's very embarrassing but I failed every exam on Analysis and Group Theory on the same semester. It made me realize I needed to study more. It was a painful lesson but I'm glad I it happened. When you're at your low that's when you really learn.

I got a 1/7 on my first calc limits exam

[lollol-wljv]

10/95 on Discrete Math. I still have nightmares 😂😂

[AmritGrewal]

Every single math test I took was bad. Why? I hadn't practice enough to build speed.

Working on changing that.

My worst math test was around the 40s, from a topic called "Advanced Calculus, " which is basically undergrad real analysis. Up to that point, I was very good at math and confident in my abilities. This class was the wake up call I needed to realize that I shouldn't take my talent and skills for granted, and I need to complement them with effort. I ended up recovering in that class for a B, and afterwards I asked the professor for a recommendation for grad school.

I had this crazy number theory professor who gave us, as he called them, "negative points". Now, there have been times that I've gotten a 0 on a test, but in his class I got like, a -51%. Got a 30 in his class at the end of it and that was B in his class

Real analysis.... homework 30% ... midterm 52%.... two weeks ago. Final in five weeks. I got Mathematical Proofs (one of your recommended texts, used to be called A Transition to Advanced Mathematics by Chartrand, Polimeni, and Zhang) on Monday and have been reading and practicing proof writing ever since.

It's hard to tell if a test is a bad test because there can be an argument made for equal effort on the student's part and the teacher's part as well. I just got a 43 on an exam and my first exam was a 102. It was my first math proofs class and I still haven't a clue about how to study these. The teacher also didn't do a review (like she usually does), gave us only one class period to talk about a new topic, and made the test very long (it took me 30 min to do 1 question). And that's 30/75 … and 1/11 questions

[Egganopolis]

There were 2.

1st Calc 1 Exam was more painful spirtually. I think it was in the 50's

3rd exam in Calc 2 with a 48%. I just couldnt grasp the differences between the different types of Sequences/Series. I think Ive gotten a little better since then.

I know you did a tour of the top of your bookshelf, but could you do the tour of the whole library, if possible? I find watching people's book collections very entertaining.

[RyanG]

First graduate school algebra quiz/exam. The professor put at the top “Good Luck!” Afterward we were told he would have been impressed if anyone got even one of them correct. Lol (Got to love it!!)

[skyblue]

I don't have an awful test I remember but I got into a super competitive stem highschool program in grade 11. I struggled greatly and got a C in math. But I stayed in the program, bounced back, and I currently have an A in calculus 💪

[ethanbarnett]

My worst test was a 17% on an AP Physics 1 test. I gave up in that class first semester and studied math in it, so I did not really care. Surprisingly, I ended up with a C in the class after having a 17% overall grade for about 6 weeks.

[abhaykumarsingh]

I am a physics major and my worst test that I took, ironically was on classical mechanics. The most basic of all of physics and I still suck balls at it sigh

[ModuliOfRiemannSurfaces]

20/100 on a PDE test recently. Going through severe life turmoil and studying nothing in addition to hating boundary value problems more than almost anything on the planet led to a bad result.

[justchill]

My first year in physics at university it was linear algebra, the final exam. It was so different from what we had seen in classroom, we all got destroyed and I got 5/20. I was disgusted about linear algebra for a while before understanding how beautiful it is actualy.

To get selected into the Indian IMO team, a high school student needs to go through the following series of tests: PRMO (Pre-RMO), RMO (Regional Math Olympiad), INMO (India National MO), and then four TSTs (Team Selection Tests) at the camp held for INMO qualifiers. [To qualify for this camp you need to come in the top 30 of the country.]
I got a grand score of 2/102 in PRMO 2018.
It wasn't all bad though, I qualified INMO 2020 (and thus PRMO/RMO 2019 as well); although the camp was cancelled (and India didn't participate in IMO 2020) due to COVID-19.
