This is true. This was roughly how my high school grades were marked as. The grading system does change slightly depending on the overall performance of students that year. If majority had low marks, they lower the boundaries since the paper was harder. If majority got high marks, they increase the boundaries.
None of my exams or tests have ever had a plus or minus. We just have A*, A, B etc. and maybe it's just my college idk that's always had really high A* boundaries, it definitely has never been that low before nor has it been for anyone my own age that I've asked. Maybe that's just where I live though :/
Its all lies! We only have a* a b c D e u.. :) no + or -

Go on Google and check it out yourselves. We got + and - along side the A*'s, A's, B's, etc for each paper we did. As an overall grade at the end of the year we had no +/- but the letters itself.
So, one person could have everything right, and another could have literally a quarter of the test wrong and they'd both get the same mark? That doesn't seem fair. That's why i like the plain numbers better
In secondary schools/high schools the system has completely changed, instead of us having letters a-f we have numbers 9-1. It's kinda dumb and pointless but a grade 9 is the equivalent to an A++
