I don't think most teachers would say something like that just to be nice... if they say a student is good at a subject when that isn't in fact true, there is just too much potential for harm. I know I've had lots of teachers say things just to be nice (commenting on character, other aspects of my life, or even just the way I wore my hair that day), but in the end there was always that "Well, you do need to work on 'x' a little more" if it was needed.
I hope your midterm went well. (Was it in fact today?)
