Assuming when I was in public school and we are not talking post-secondary...
I am like you.
My strongest subjects were STEM related - mathematics and sciences.
My weakest was English.
This is because math and science is more or less concrete in the sense that you can arrive at the answers.
In English, like in ice skating or gymnastics, the grading can be a bit subjective. I don't like that at all.

Now, as I have gotten older, I do have appreciation for the arts that I did not when I was young, but I still would not want to have my future decided by grades in an English class...

I grew-up in New York state and, there, 4 years of English were required in high school and, back then (I graduated in 1981) only 3 years of "social studies". (It became 4 years a few years later.) I was irked that I had to waste my senior year on an English class when I would rather have used that time taking a social studies class, or Earth Science, or an AP Math/Science class to go along with the 4 STEM classes I was taking that year.
When I was looking to go to college, I got accepted to the Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science in Manhattan. It was a "Most Competitive" school according to Barron's. But, I would have gotten a BA, not a BS, and I had a stigma with that... and didn't want to travel to Manhattan everyday. (I lived on Long Island.)
So, I went upstate to attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a "Highly Competitive +" school where I majored in Physics. What I liked best about RPI was that there was NO English REQUIREMENT! I didn't have to take another English class ever. Sure, RPI had a mandatory 24 credit hours of Humanities and Social Sciences (minimum of 9 CH each), but nothing regarding English. My poor buddy from high school - he didn't get accepted by RPI, but went to Boston University where he was forced to endure Beowulf... Poor bastard. I escaped that shit.

I'm literally the exact opposite of you. I despised math, and I loved English/Literature/Grammar.

Best before migration: Icelandic, best after: history (+religion, social studies, pedagogy, sociology - depends on which period of schooling you're asking about) worst - math and physics,- & chemistry class, biology, shit like that. Neuro-pedagogy is quite interesting tho.

Strongest were ICT (Information and Communications Technology), economics, and classical studies.

Weakest were: math, English literature (mostly because i found it boring and hated speeches), and PE (apart from gymnastics and basketball I was alright at those)

It's great that you're aware of your strengths and areas for improvement. Embrace your strength in math, and use that confidence to tackle your weaker areas. For writing and grammar, practice is key. Consider reading more to see grammar in action and writing regularly while seeking feedback to improve. Remember, everyone has subjects they excel in and those they find challenging, but with dedication, you can improve in any area.

Best subjects were: History and Georgraphy. All types. World national etc. I am/was still fascinated by the 2. Also music. Music is the only "art" im decent at lol. I can compose/transpose and write classical music and can play about 5 instruments.

Worst? Math. I took Gr 12 math 10 times. Still couldn't pass it

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

For elementary school, I scored at everything.

For middle school, I scored in orthography and foreign language (English).

For high school, I kept scoring in foreign language (English). I hated anything hard science, literature, economy, history.

For uni, I scored nowhere, I was busy with parenting.

For life in general, I'm interested in soft science, and usually not very interested in hard science.

social studies math definitely was my weakest! So weak I stayed on crutches and in a wheelchair!

DishLady · Answer

S= a tie between languages/literature and techie stuff (which all boils down to coding analytics).

W= govt' & politics. I'm firmly nonpartisan and have always had dbag teachers who insist on being one extreme or the other.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Strongest: music Weakest: English Lit I blame the teacher, because he assigned the absolutely most boring texts he could find, at least for high schoolers.

lorenzomichael · Answer

For me it was just showing up that was hard. But then again I didn’t go to high school I went to school high. It seemed like I was always stoned. But I did a little above average.
