Real curves adjust the grades to fit the mathematic bell curve standard distribution.

Most teachers "curve" just by adding points so that the highest score is a 100. If the class takes a test, highest score is a 97, the curve is 3 points added to everyone's scores.

To add to this, if there is one question that almost everyone got wrong, that can get thrown out too.
