At A level which is the exam you take before uni at college (16-18yr olds) you can get the following grades:
A* = Best grade, very very hard to get (basically over 90%)
A = 80%
B = 70%
C = 60%
D = 50%
E = 40%
U = Fail (below 40%)
That is not too difficult for high school level courses.
Maybe it is easier here, but it wasn't too difficult for me to get a 90% average over Chemistry, Physics, Calculus and English uni entry courses. If I got 70% which is a B according to your chart it would of been too low.
Lol I didn't care when I got my results.. you cannot change anything. I woke up at 10am on the morning to get my results even though they were available at 7am, finding out I got into my first choice was great though

A levels are hard.
And you are aweather nerd so of course you are gonna do fab in science.

Hmm I'll have to find statistics.. but perhaps things are marked harder here.. I think fewer than 5% of grades are A* and they were only introduced about 3 years ago, before that the top grade was an A
Also, those grades are just a guideline, with subjects such as maths which a lot of clever people take, the grades are inflated, and there is a thing called a UMS mark (IIRC) which means that if the paper is hard you can get 100% for getting 63/75 on the paper. At the same time I have seen papers where 60/75 was a C
