Wow! The irish system is totally different, but we still had very few A grades awarded. I had the 2nd best results in my final year and I only got 2 A's.
85-100=A, 70-84=B, 55-59=C, 40-54=D, >40=Fail
I suppose the system is irrelevant if everybody is playing to the same rules, but once one school changes theirs it will mess up things for everybody (unless it is clear to everybody what they have done). I can imagine you feel hard done by!
