<p>hahah way to copy my name Arctic92!</p>
<p>A note on study groups: I tried that in my first year at college, and boy was it miserable. When everyone knew that I was one of the more successful students in a given class, those that didn’t resent me wanted to study with me… Most often it was in biology, chemistry, or writing (for some reason, the kids at my school are barely literate… I’m not saying this to be mean either; it’s true).</p>
<p>In chemistry and biology, I had a lot of kids arguing with me, claiming that what I was saying was wrong, even though chemistry and biology are very clear-cut subjects with definitive facts. This is unbelievably frustrating when I know for a fact that I am correct and when I know that I’m getting a 95±–and they’re averaging mid-50s. I remember one specific instance where I got into a 20 minute debate about arteries and veins, and more specifically, which one carries blood to the heart vs. which one carries blood away from the heart. I tried to be helpful and said, “It’s easy to remember if you say to yourself, ‘Artery starts with an ‘A’ and flows AWAY [from the heart].’” All I got in return was, “NO, you’re wrong! The aorta, which is an artery, goes from the brain TO the heart! Sometimes arteries flow toward the heart and sometimes they flow away… same thing for veins.” I almost wanted to cry after hearing that argument, largely because this individual was a nursing major. <em>cringes</em> Even after showing her numerous sources in both the textbook and online, she still didn’t believe me.</p>
<p>In the “writing” study groups, we often proofread each other’s papers. I had one student plagiarize off of me (luckily, I had a time and date-stamped copy saved to my hard drive, so the professor took my side relatively quickly once I showed him that). Not only that, but when you have to explain that “this sentence isn’t complete because it doesn’t have a verb,” yet the person insists that it IS a complete sentence, you get ready to pull your hair out relatively quickly.</p>
<p>My point in all of this: study groups are clearly not for everyone.</p>
<p>I’ve never lied to anyone about my grades, but I think it’s time that I might need to try it out. Both students sitting next to me asked me about my last math test grade and I told them I got 100%. The next test I took, i spoted both of them out of the corner of my eyes cheating off my exam, and compairing their answers! WTH!!! 
So for the rest of the test, I had to slump over my test so they couldn’t see it.</p>

<p>For study groups to be successful, the members have to be highly motivated, and everyone has to have something to offer. Of course, it’s a waste of time to be the only smart, motivated person in a study group that otherwise is filled with lazy and not too bright students who are leeching off your brains.</p>
<p>in your case, I would just proclaim that “I have achieved a honorable double-digit score” 
while I never lie about my grades (aka saying that I have 49 when I have a 99), I do tend to keep them confidential, as i find rumors, good or bad, to be extremely annoying. From my experiences, when people ask you for your grades, if you keep silent while maintaining a semi-depressed face, people will assume that you did bad and leave you alone.</p>
<p>a lot of people consider me smart, so often times when someone is complaining a test was hard and says theyre low score i say i also scored low, </p>
<p>i.e we had a gov exam and i got a 98 while an acquaintance got a 67 and was complaining so i replied, yeah that was a really tough test, i got a 65 
and the person actually felt quite a bit better about themselves and their score</p>
