Huh? Getting a first doesn't make me a genius, it just means that I studied well for everything that was graded.

Why not just take a compliment ... ?

I would think the person worked hard and possibly deserved their grade. I wouldn't think over it too much though.
Meh...getting a first is exactly as the person above said...studying hard for the right exams. I know quite a few folk here on my postgrad medicine course who got a 1st and some others who have a 2.1 and I see no difference personally.
