I’m in the UK. In secondary school (ages 11-18), we have graded results – F, E, D, C, B, A, A\* – for the qualifications you get at 16 and 18.
Batchelors degrees are graded as 1, 2:1, 2:2, 3. They equate to about (respectively) >70%, 60-70%, 50-60%, 40-50%.
I’m constantly confused when watching American TV shows when they talk about school grades etc! The only term I’ve ever heard used in tv is GPA.
How do the scoring systems work in the USA and what scores do they equate to?

I’m going to try again as my comment was removed the first time.
The information in the first post is not correct.
In 2014, Michael Gove reformed the national curriculum and one of the changes was the way gCSEs were graded. This does not apply to Scotland.
Up until that point, at GCSE level the grades were a-f, the same as A levels.
From 2017 forwards, the system changed to grades 1-9
Grade 4-5 are both grade C. Four is a low C, 5 a secure C
Grade six is a B
Grade 7 is a low A
Grade 8 is a secure A
Grade 9 is an A*
