its subjective depending on one's goal with the subject imo.

It's hard to say. I know my answer is going to be distorted by the degree I do. I consider an 80+ to generally be a job well done.

For me a good score is between 70 - 80 and a miracle is >80. Whereas for the VN'ers >90 is good and getting 100 means you have achieved your goal. I seriously am at awe with you guys.

Having said that, this is a very subjective question.

This year, subjects like vector calculus and quantum mechanics & special relativity where I got 76 and 78 respectively. I personally didn't think these scores were that good since they didn't reflect the effort I put in.

Subjects that I find really difficult I'm usually happy with >60. Even though getting scores >60 don't really aid in me getting that 75 average I DESPERATELY want, so I usually get upset with my results.

THE worst score you could get is <50.

As someone said P's get get degrees. I want to add that by getting >70 secures masters and gives you confidence to feel that you are competent enough to do postgraduate studies.

As has been said I don't really care about the difference between 80 and 100 because it doesn't change your GPA, which makes 80 my goal.

Depends on the subject really. In anything with a considerable written portion, 90+ is super hard. In a subject where your answer is either right or wrong, it is "easier" to get 90+, but it takes a lot of study.
