In American education an "A" grade is 90% or higher, a "B" grade is 80-90% and a "C" grade is 70-80%
"A" player usually means someone in the top tier academically or professionally.
As far as I know it isn't used in American sporting.

- forgottenpass 13y agoThat was the quick and easy answer. Testing that doesn't expect mastery of the material will, of course, work differently.

I had a few classes in college, where in a very 1984-esque fashion, failing (<60% correct) was passing. You just had to fail less than everyone else.
