what is the university grading system

I got 78% for an assignment what does that exactly mean? Confused what the percentages actually mean for marked assignments.

70% + is usually a first. You did well in that assignment.

Sarbuis,

I believe that percentages in the US may mean something different to those in the UK. For example, a pass at my University starts at 40% and anything less than that is a fail. Therefore the whole grading system must reflect this. So every percent in the UK grading system must be worth more.

What is the US grading system if you don't mind me asking?

Ninety to One Hundred percent: A+=97-100%, A=94-96%,and A-=90-93%
eighty to eighty nine percent: B+=87-89%, B=84-86%, and B-= 80-83%
seventy to seventy-nine percent: C+=77-79%, C=74-76%, and C-=70-73%
sixty to sixty-nine percent (not really a pass): D+=67-69%, D=64-66% and D-=70-73%
fifty to fifty-nine percent: Fail
0 to forty-nine percent: Fail
Science courses much the time the test are multiple choice. Most subjects have essay exams at lead in University.
