I missed a mid-term once because my alarm didn't go off, told the truth and I couldn't get it deferred. It wasn't a good excuse, but at least I didn't lie.
I once got a 35% on the midterm and a 45% on the final and still got an B+. Everything I did in the class up to that point was 90% or better, but the prof had some crazy hard exams that practically everyone failed.

Was the first time that I had ever failed an exam. I was livid, but it wasn't as bad as the girl who had never gotten anything but an A in her entire life openly sobbing over her 70% on the midterm.
