I just finished high school at the highest level (that's vwo for all you dutch out there) and i will be heading to university soon-ish. From what i can tell so far, girls/women tend to do better grade wise, but are not more intelligent. Alot (and i mean a LOT, more then half atleast) of the girls tended to be the types that would just cram everything into their head and get very high marks. Most guys tended to grasp the subject instead of cramming, resulting in lower marks but better knowledge of what was actually happening.
While it's nice to have high grades, it will not help you anything in the long run if you do not actually grasp the ideas and methods. I think this is where a lot of girls tend to fail, they try to compensate for their lower IQ by cramming everything into their heads, which might show up as a positive thing in studies but will not help them later on in life.
