My high school didn't have plus-minus grades, and the A cutoff was exactly 86%. B was 73%, C was something in the sixties.
My econ classes at university are usually curved to a B average (whether the average is in the eighties or low fourties, like my micro midterm). My math classes my first two years applied a 10% shift downwards (80% = A- and all), and after that they were too informal to really grade consistently.
France's 20-point system is also worth a mention; perfect scores on math tests are feasible, but on anything paper-related "the professor gets a 19, and God gets 20". I would equate a 14 to an A-worthy performance at an American private school.
