Why is it when anybody puts their grades on their profile it always seems to be 10 A*'s and 4 A's? I only got average grades at A level, but this forum makes me believe they're bad grades! So cut the bull people! And before anybody photo copies their grades, I am not saying everybody is lying, but I suspect a lot of people are telling one or two porkies. 
Isn't it obvious? The people who do well want to show off their grades. People who don't do so well are less likely to put them on their profile. so whether they're lying or not, you're going to get a much larger proportion of people with high grades on their profile anyway.

I believe it is because they are social retards.
Just rest safe in the knowledge that you will get more punani than them.

Yeah just keep telling yourself that when they have a central london mansion, a hot gf and a ferrari
Yeah but you have to think, what kind of people spend time trawling an academic chat room? The kind who get good grades/ have no live. (I'm including myself here!) Also, somtimes the four A's at A-Level are "Travel and Tourism, Dance and movement, English Language and General Studies."

Just proves the point perfectly.

How does that prove anything?
In my school, in the 'high gcse group' a bigger proportion of people get much more action and have a way better social life than in the 'low gcse group'. All the people with high results go out often while many others hardly do. You don't have to work ALL the time to get top results, as intelligence gets you through quite a bit of it.
Did you know that you need 8A*s to even be considered for a top 20 university these days? people with 4U's wouldn't put it in their profile, but people with 4A's and full marks in all of these, would. don't really think many people would lie on a student forum anyway
I'm still quite happy still to put my grades up even though I got a couple of B's at A-level (in good subjects I add ) .I've no problems with people showing their academic prowess but it probably needs to be remembered that getting 5As is something to be proud of because it's quite exceptional.I told this lass at my old sixth form about a "post your 100% UMS grades" TSR thread I once saw and she really thought that was quite arrogant - and she ended up getting quite a few 100% results and did get 11A*s /4A s indeed - and she's one of the more outgoing people in my sixth form , was deputy head girl as well.
I do agree GCSEs are quite easy to the extent that even if you aren't particularly good in a subject you should really still score at least a C grade but I wouldn't draw the line at grade A.

saying people must lie about their grades because everyone here is above average is like saying residents of an old peoples home must lie about thier age, because their average age is nowhere near the national average.

According to Varsity, someone here has twenty-something A-levels, I think 26? So maybe all those 'joke' sigs with AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA are actually true. 
*coughs hardly and nearly dies*
what the hell?

no...
you so need to get back learning basic GCSE stuff
I must admit that, even though I did get good GCSEs and A-Levels, I am intimidated by some of the people on here who have 15A*s, 20As and 4 trillion AEAs. TSR makes everyone feel average. 
Being on here is like attending an elite grammar school

I didn"t get 10 A*s
I never said you did?

If you got it, flaunt it. Who really cares. They worked hard (or not) and want to tell people of their achievements 
That's not my point. It just seems like the majority of people with grades on their profile are full of A*'s. I know TSR people are often smart and your more likely to put them up if their good, but the amount of people who claim to have these amazing grades makes it obvious to me that some people are just lying to make themselves fit in or look smart.
Yes. Its especially sad when someone puts their module grades on
e.g: 99/100 - "omfg 1 mark so close ima go cut myself now!!!"
