i am pretty sure that when i took my GCE O levels that we were told the pass mark varied as the results were plotted and a set percentage got A,B,C etc IIRC about 35% were expected/marked as fails irrespective of what they actually scored

even my current employers Performance development framework does it, 30 % of people get rated as under performing irrespective of how hard they worked. 2 years on the trot and you are up for D&G......
