Is it? Or is grading done differently? Here 70 is an
A (60 a B, etc.); we grade visiting students as we do
our own (deriving the numbers from our view of the
degree class) then convert the number to an American
A, B etc. using a standard table, different for Canada
and the US but not by that much.
And work done by UK students in the US is normally
re-marked here and re-graded but with an allowance for
the fact that the work was done in the US (!)
