<human>: At school, there is always a comparison of the marks after a test is handed back. For academic courses like Physics and Pre-Calculus, I sometimes do somewhat well while some of my peers do not so well.

If I say "Yeah man this chapter was hard/a pain in the ass." they're like "How'd you do good then?" or "lol (they don't say lol literally) you did pretty well though." and they sometimes think I'm saying that I'd understand why it's hard for them exclusively, which is not what I mean.

If I say "Don't worry man it's only one test." they're like "That's easy for you to say." or something. I try to sympathize with their plight but I end up coming off as an insensitive douche.

If I say "Maybe you should study more." (in a nicer way, obviously), they say they have work, sports, and/or a life. I don't push them extra because I'm not their parents.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Every time I try to relate or sympathize or console my friends when they get worse grades than me, I unintentionally come off slightly douchey :/
