This Brit expression is the same as the US "takes the cake." If something "takes the biscuit" or "takes the cake" then that is the most surprising outcome imaginable; what has just happened beats all previous outcomes, either in a good or a bad way.

Note: remember that the Brit expression "biscuit" is the same as the US "cookie"

Example: "I've heard of bad math scores, but your's just takes the biscuit (cake)"
