I guess everyone did poorly on it, because I only scored a 40, but that was curved up to a B+

Looking at the correct answers, I made some dumb mistakes and could have easily made an A or A-. Oh well, maybe next time.

I'm just sayin', if I'm hiring an Engineer who got A's in every engineering class and he doesn't know how to screw in a lightbulb because no one else in his class did...

I'd be disappoint

Why should it matter how the rest did? That 40 (I am assuming out of a 100) means more to me than a B+ ever could.

Most teachers use a curve so they ensure a wide array of grades no matter what. Curves can be harmful though in a world where everyone scores very highly on a true curve some of the ones that score just a bit worse could be failing grades. A true curve dictates that at least a portion of the class must receive an F.
