Lies that went on too longWhen you lie you often have to keep lying. Share your pain. When I was 15 I pretended to be 16 to help get a summer job. Then had to spend a summer with this nice shopkeeper asking me everyday if I was excited about getting my GCSE results. I felt like an utter shit. Thanks to MerseyMal for the suggestion.

It is in some casesbut the grade positions on the bell curve are adjusted by the chief examiner relative to the difficulty of the particular exam, ie what percentage of pupils that year got all the answers right.
I once helped my uncle (a chief examiner) enter some of the results into a database in order to determine this. So it does happen, just not necessarily in all subjects, or indeed over all exam boards.
