I have never done this before.
I have never scored 100 %t at the exam.
I have never scored 100 % at the exam; nevertheless, I was still the best student in my class.
These are two different words with different meaning. Use a dict, Arun.

No, that is not correct. You could use "nevertheless" like "in spite of that", though it is not precisely the same. In this sentence you have only "in spite of": you cannot replace that with "nevertheless".
Example: "He was ill. Nevertheless, he went to school."

This is correct. The word "it" may be left out here, although it is even better and more complete with "it".

This is even better. |
