Why is everyone on TSR so "intelligent"?

Uhm because the people who put their GCSE results on their profiles are the ones who did really good at them. The rest, won't include them at all.

I didn't say that everyone who gets good grades puts it on their profile. I said the people who do put their grades on their profile are those who have done well.

There's a difference.

You clearly said the ones who put up their results are the ones who did good in them, then said that the rest didn't. Don't try and backtrack now.

If you don't specify 'some' then it is assumed that you mean 'all'.

Haha I don't backtrack.

"The people who put their GCSEs on their profiles are the ones who did well them" doesn't mean that there aren't people who do well in them but don't put them on their profiles.

Ok it seems you're incapable of understanding what you wrote down yourself. Read what you wrote AFTER that sentence.

Lol mate give it up, it was a freakin' generalisation meant to convey that the profiles that you see that contain any GCSE info are from people who did well on them and the rest won't bother putting anything.

You're condescending even though you're the one who clearly can't comprehend basic logic. You conflate "the people who put their GCSEs on them are those who did well in them and the rest (who didn't do well in them) won't bother do anything at all" with "everyone who does well on their GCSEs puts it on their profiles".

I don't think everyone is like that, I didn't achieve exceptional GCSE or AS grades and I've rarely seen people look down upon others for their grades.

I think it's just a vocal minority.

Also I think it's unfair to call any GCSE grades exceptional unless they're relative to your circumstances. Say, if you're a student at the worst school in your city, getting Bs across the board could be exceptional, yet if you go to one of the best private schools getting 5+ A* grades might be completely normal. Does that make you any less intelligent? No.

I don't think that's true when given research-based or theory-based assignments. Knowledge is everything for those types of tasks, which make up a large amount of Uni work tbh

Well all you had to do was learn to read and acknowledge when you've made a generalisation. I have no reason to converse with you apart from that.

You need to keep in mind that a lot of the time, only people with high grades bother posting. No one is going to show off about getting a C. So it gives the perception that everyone here is a genuis.

Before i did further research, people on here had me thinking you needed like AAAB at a minimum in your AS to get a Russel group Uni offer. When i got my results i immidiately started planning for a career in McDonald's. In reality, there's top unis that even allow btec grades lol. I have 5 engineering offers from RG unis despite massively ****ing up my D1 exam which brought my Maths grade down by 2.

It gets ridiculous at times. Last month i saw someone complaining because he got a "Very low A*" in his physics unit 4 A2 exam. And he wasn't even trolling.

Even if he weren't generalising then him saying that the ones who put up their results are the ones who did good in them is not equivalent to him saying that all those who do well put their grades on their profiles.

If a=set of people who post grades on profiles and b=set of people who get good grades, he is saying that
$a \subset b$ but you seem to think he's saying that $a=b$

C is average, so average is now bad? Should " good " be B now? Wait... wouldn't that raise the marks so the new C would be at B percent? You lack in knowledge on this, aka. ignorance.
