Oh, I figured. One physics class I took must have had a raw class average no more than 40%, because I had an average in the 50's and got an A. It's all in how the tests are done, and how the grade is curved, so you can't really measure difficulty by percentage scores. And with multiple guess heavy grading (which my school is) it's hard to write really good tests. Still, I think I'd panic if I saw a 70% on a paper...
