Thanks to all who responded to my query about marking schemes. Here's a summary of the responses I've received, which are of course all ohne Gewähr since I may have misinterpreted in some cases. In some cases I've had a couple of answers that didn't say exactly the same thing...
Nottingham would be part of the middle band that use up to 85 (but elsewhere in the university marks up to the 90s are of course quite normal).
Best wishes, and thanks again!
