It is the second highest mark, immediately below 'Outstanding' and immediately above 'Acceptable'.
Advancing to N.E.W.T.-level
Most professors at Hogwarts set their N.E.W.T. classes entrance standards at 'Exceeds Expectations', meaning that the students must acquire such a grade in their O.W.L. in order to continue. Snape however, required an 'Outstanding' from his Potions students.
