I used nod along with my parents and agree that I'd get x amount of a's etc. Then when this didn't materialise I would just feign deep shock, just walk around blank faced saying nothing being really depressed, after about 3 days they'd be begging me to return to my usual slightly more jovial self and write the exams off as one of those things.
