At our university the marking works as follows:
90%+ A+
80%+ A
70%+ A-
60%+ B - refined as 60-63, 64-65, 67-69
50%+ C - refined as 50-53, 54-55, 57-59
40%+ D
< 40% fails
<20% fail with distinction (H)
The 40-70% is fairly linearly marked, the bottom section is fairly logarithmic and the 70+ is exponential, from our marking guides:
80%+ Student shows knowledge well beyond the level of the course and applies that knowledge correctly to the situation.
90%+ Student shows knowledge far beyond the level of the course, likely involving individual research, and applies that knowledge correctly.
The highest mark I have seen from anyone is an 89%...
