An A was 100-94 in Virginia when I was going to school. 75% was an average C or maybe even D.
Re: The Inauguration of President Barack H. Obama
Sounds like the French system to me. 20 is elite. Anything over 15 is generally considered very good. 10 is about average.
I don't think they use percentages.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

15/20 sounds more like an 80 to me or B-, but these things needn't translate mathematically like that. If you say it's a B+/A- then I'll trust you, you have far more knowledge of your odd grading system than I do.

B+ 90-93 D+ 70-73
B 84-89 D 64-69
C+ 80-83 F Below 64
I'dve liked the French scale in high school.
Re: The Inauguration of President Barack H. Obama
Should be B, I think. 17 should be B+/A-
At least, acording to this Portugal/U.K. Grade equivalence

Re: The Inauguration of President Barack H. Obama
Bah, the UK doesn't know anything about grading. In America where the one true grading system is generally practiced it goes: 97-100 A+ 93-96 A 90-92 A- 87-89 B+ and so on and so on. Note the exact grading varies somewhat, but it should be High 90's = A+ middle =A low =A- for all of them. With somewhere around a 65 being the highest passing grade.
Of course noting the state of our education system maybe we are doing something wrong. Oh well my state generally fairs pretty well despite the fact that we don't have tons of dough.
