What was your best subject in school?

[jaydee]

I did awesome in history, very well in english, science was above average and a little below average in math (although I was accelerated). And now I'm an EE major. Go figure.

 

[Gurck]

Math & science, couldn't tell you which I did better in... I pretty much got a 95-100 in each class of each subject the first three years... then something happened, no idea what - but I didn't get calc at all (took AB senior year of hs as AP) or physics (also senior year), actually dropped out of the latter, but only because 7:30am was too damn early for me.

dear amdfanboy,

fcuk you for lumping all the arts into one broad, vague category.

I always did terrible in English though. I write horrible--general runons, no clear direction...basically just a brain dump onto paper. Anyone else like this? Talented in math, physics and CS but BAD when it comes to writing?

and you still don't know when to use adverbs

I was the grand guru of all math and science, except for biology because the teacher and I loathed each other. my uncle was my chemistry teacher, that sucked!!!

I was the opposite. I did pretty well in all of the liberal arts fields, but was mediocre-to-bad when it came to maths and sciences. and it's not even that I hated them, I just think too broadly. the only math class that I did really well in was a mathmatical theory class that I took in college, which basically combined math with history.

again, with science, the only science classes I ever did really well in were a bioethics course in high school (50% science and 50% religion), and a contemporary science seminar I took that ended up being 50% science and 50% current events.

probably English. I was also very good at the sciences, but I think my ability to bullsh!t far surpasses my ability to memorize facts and equations.

My worst was by far math. If not for math, I would have been in the top 10% of my class. However, 6 or 7 95+ grades don't mean crap when one other grade is a 67.

 

[everman]

Academic Decathalon in high school was fun.

 

[Mo0o]

AP statistics was the easiest class ever.

 

[imported_earthslash]

general business classes

 

[joecool]

math.

It seems as though some people get calc, and some people don't. I didn't.

Really? You mean in college, right?

I liked math as a child. Was pretty good at it. Then had some aversion throughout high school for any type of math whatsoever. I found algebra, geometry and finite math so damn boring and did really poor in them.

After high school I took calc in college and actually _enjoyed_ it. Calc is my highest grade so far during college

No, in HS. I took it in both my Junior and Senior years, and did quite poorly each year. Got straight A's in every math class (without breaking a sweat) until calc. I think my problem was that I just wasn't able to apply it to real world situations at the time.

 

[OverVolt]

lets see, scored 99percentile on ACT science, and scored like 90%+ in all science classes(chem, bio, physics, ecology, ect.) i voted physics tho, since im also very good in math.

 

[TuxDave]

A toss up between chemistry, physics, calculus and computer science. My teacher made me participate in a state chemistry competition only because no one else in the school was good at it. I ended up somewhere in the top 5% of the state in NJ. Go me....

<--- Abandoned chemistry and went to EE

 

[CptObvious]

English was my best subject in HS.
Then I went to college and unlearned everything through technical writing

 

[simms]

99 in OAC Algebra, and computers.
