A 12-year-old is typically in 6th or 7th grade (US) or Year 7 (Australia/UK), depending on their exact birthday and school system, usually transitioning from primary to secondary school, with ages 11-12 often in 6th grade/Year 6 and ages 12-13 in 7th grade/Year 7.
7th Grade: 12 years old; 8th Grade: 13 years old.
Students in twelfth grade are usually 17-18 years old.
In Australia, students typically start Year 12 at age 16 or 17 and finish the year at age 17 or 18, as it's the final year of secondary school, leading to high school graduation. The exact age depends on their birth date, but generally, those turning 17 during the year begin Year 12, and most turn 18 by the end of it.
A 70% is often a B or a C, depending heavily on the grading system, but in many US systems it's a low C or C-, while in Australia, 70-74% is typically a Distinction (D), and 60-69% is a Credit (C). It's crucial to check your specific school or country's scale, as 70% can range from a solid pass to a high B or low Distinction.
The normal grading range is from 55 to 100. The number grades correspond to letter grades as reflected in the chart below. The minimum passing grade is 70 (C). Any grades between 55 and 69 (D and F) are considered failing grades for which unit credit is not earned.

A score of 70 is typically considered a C- in the standard American grading system.

Signs to look out for include:
You'll usually need to receive a letter grade between A and D to pass a class, often the numerical equivalent of 65 percent or higher. Receiving an F—which stands for “fail”—indicates that you did not pass the class. The cutoff to receive an F is usually 64 percent.
To have the best shot of getting in, you should aim for the 75th percentile, with a 1580 SAT or a 36 ACT. You should also have a 4.2 GPA or higher. If your GPA is lower than this, you need to compensate with a higher SAT/ACT score.
A C+ letter grade is equivalent to a 2.3 GPA, or Grade Point Average, on a 4.0 GPA scale, and a percentage grade of 77–79.
Children begin elementary school with kindergarten (grade K) around age 5. The next year is grade 1 and it goes up each year to grade 5.
A gap year usually means taking a year out in between your studies, often at age 18 and after Level 3 qualifications such as A Levels, etc. There are lots of things you could do on a gap year like travelling, working or volunteering.
