I can’t remember actually seeing anyone get 12 in successive lessons but it was certainly possible in theory. The closest I came to it myself was in the tests at the end of the third term in my fourth year. I got 12 for failing Geog. (I can’t remember my exact score but it was less than 13 out of 50) and the following lesson I got 5 for failing German. My bottom was still sore when I bent over to be slippered by the German teacher, which meant that it really stung. The tests normally took place in the last week of term and would be spread over 3 days (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday).
