In South Africa, the grading system is different, where the best range is 75-100%, which people rarely got. Most people got in the 60s, and I remember getting a 62 on a paper, reading the comments, and saying "If I was at Smith, I'd have gotten an 80." After which, I went home and found that the 60s is the 80s in America.
I got an 80 on another paper, and I felt like hot shit.
