Very few people genuinely find tests easy. I don't think it's a completely gendered thing, because there are a few non-gendered reasons why people who do well on tests might honestly believe they haven't. It you do well in an exam, you probably had a wide breadth and depth of knowledge about the topic. If you have a wide breadth and depth of knowledge, you probably expressed a smaller proportion of that knowledge than most other people. If you didn't use a lot of your knowledge, you're going to leave the exam hall feeling like you undersold yourself. Additionally: if you do well in an exam, you probably invested a lot of time and emotional energy into preparing for it. If you invested a lot of time and emotion, you're going to be more stressed generally.
That said, social research suggests that girls tend to under-predict their intelligence and guys tend to over-predict their intelligence. Although I'm not sure how transferable those findings are to the level of individuals.
Possible reasons:
1) As a safety net in case they actually fu*ked up big time.
2) To get attention
3) As a conversation starter
4) Because it was genuinely difficult at times.
But, in all honesty, it's not really *lying* so to speak. They could've found it challenging. "Hard" is, after all, a subjective term.
I think they lie because other chicks don't like chicks to be smarter than they are. I, however, am superior to everybody.
