as it is GCSE results today , what was your best and worst grade at school?

In undergrad I aspired to the heights of mediocrity.
In grad school I was an honors student and was offered to join the law review.

The difference was that undergrad was on Dad's dime, and I was "finding myself", while grad school was on my dime and my initiative.

I don't remember actual grades for specific courses, and I'm too lazy to go and look them up.
 
I'm so ancient that comparisons are odious.

I took the 11 plus in Gibraltar.

I took O levels in the UK.

I took the Leaving Certificate ( age 16) and five subjects at Matriculation - A level equivalent - (age 17) in Australia.

I took a post-graduate examination within a month of my return to the UK. I passed that. I was 18 years and one month old, not quite the youngest ever candidate because someone else had passed it at 18 years and one week.
 
I got A's pretty much on everything...Organic chemistry gave me a run for my money as well as human A&P due to the sheer volume of rote memorization required for it but they were the 2 proudest and only C's I ever earned...neither class had more than 10 people pass and neither had an A.
