Yeah, specifically Warwick.

I've scored more than 92% on I think ~10% of my exams, and I gather that roughly one person a year gets more than 100% overall. (This is possible because if you take more modules than necessary, your average is multiplied by a factor based on the amount of extra work you did.)

(I'm talking about the maths department here; few if any other departments have the multiplier, and I'm told that 90% is really rare in the humanities departments.)

Ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying.
