Open university TMA (percentages/grades)

In the OU I realized TMA's and ICMA's are marked by percentage instead of the usual grade system in other uni's.just out of curiosity, what would 80% be classed as ? what would it be equivalent to? or is it not possible? i don't know just wondered if anyone could help me!

Unless it's changed, 80% is a high upper second class:

85%+ = First
70-84% = Upper Second
55-69% = Lower Second
40-54% = Third

I'm not entirely sure about the grades below that but I think you can get a pass with 35%. Also, they play a bit loose with the rules. I got in the high 60s in one course and 83% in the other and they chose to bump me up to an upper second and a first in my last year courses at their discretion!
