This isn't the US -- these grades are from the UK.

Although yes, the UK too is in this hybrid world where gas (petrol/diesel) is in litres, temperature is in Celsius, but vehicle speedometers are in miles per hour and feet and inches are very popular for height, measuring rooms and furniture, etc.

That's just A levels (which are open to fiddling by the government of the day)

Universities have their own ideas

Seems like they're finding the path.
