I knew someone who had to pass a class where the failure rate was 85%. The worst part is this was only one of a few of these classes. She was studying physics, and even though I really don't want anything to do with her now for unrelated reasons, I still feel bad for her.

It would never happen as described in this post, but things like this are way more common than people think.

I still remember teaching >3 people a subject, because they asked me to, and then we all did the exam and I was the one who failed it. Now I'm, not error-proof but that's kind of ridiculous. I have experienced a truckload of these things but that one illustrates very well how random and/or unfit for purpose most exams are. It's like a coin flip +/- 5% depending on the depths of your studies beforehand.
