I'm sorry, can you provide some context to all of this? I personally have no idea what any of that means.
 
Check your syllabus, it should give you what is needed to maintain awareness of your final potential grade throughout the course. Nobody can answer this if you don't give the points or grading scale that is particular for that course anyway. You should learn to keep track of this from the beginning and try to determine the outcome after every single exam. If you are getting A's and B's in exams that easily then you shouldn't have a problem doing so. I get suspicious when a course is too easy, it may mean that your instructor will give you an A in the end regardless.
 
That looks like a UK (or UK-inspired) system. Hopefully someone who knows one of those systems can comment.
 
I don't think we know for sure until he tells us which country - UK-inspired covers a lot of places. That said, I can't imagine any score that will turn two B's and a failing into an A.
