Grade inflation is known for a long time and really bad for students. According my teachers, when they graduated (40 years ago) the best student of my college scored 14/20. When I graduated, the top student scored 18/20. The real problem is that public intitutions hire based on college scores so younger grads have an unfair advantage.

To solve grade inflation a bell curve would work: best tests would grade A+, next ones would grade A and sucessively independently of scores itself. You would have always the same relative amount of each grade scale along the years.
