A 5 is a good pass so I think it's counted as a C more then anything and a 6 is a B
A grade 5 is a "strong pass" - High C.
4 - Low C
5 - High C
6 - B
7 - A
8 - A*
9 - A**

A grade 5 is a grade 5, it's not really comparable to any of the letter grades. However, I believe that most courses which required a B under the old system will now be requiring a grade 6, although there is some variation.
A grade 5 is aligned at an upper C, lower B.
