That's the system I had back at university. A 70 would be a pass and anything below that would be a failure. They had instated this because they wanted students to truly deserve their grade.
You don't get B's and A's unless you're either abnormally dedicated like I was (I studied 13 to 14 hours a day consistently) or you are some gifted genius (like my ex girlfriend who graduated as a doctor with a summa cum laude, achieving an A+ (100%) in each and every exam, even in surgery). Hell, even getting a D was hard as hell! I gave up my social life to maintain that kind of credentials..
The only time at uni I got a B both in Accounting and in Law was when I obsessively studied every single source there was to find on the subject matter (university peer reviewed journals, the news, books on the fundamentals, online resources, etc). The B in Accounting cost me.. an entire year of studying every single detail on Accounting in insane obsession, reading every accounting book, from origins to modern practice, studying 4 months with a private tutor and so on. I did the same for Law.
It's a very tough system.
