UK Grading Context: Why is a 70% in the UK equivalent to an A (3.7-4.0) in the US? The UK grading system rarely awards marks above 75-80% for essay-based subjects. A 70% represents outstanding academic achievement ("First Class"), whereas in the US, a 70% typically translates to a 'C' grade. This structural difference makes non-linear conversion essential.
