Which subject was the biggest challenge for you when you were a student?

In school, it was woodcraft and sports. I'm not very practical, so I managed to ruin the electrical saws and I don't like ball-games. Sports mostly consisted of football, handball etc. Also, I don't like running. I wish there had been more things involving strength. At university, I didn't really like quantum physics. I don't think I really got the point with the Hilbert space. I've been thinking about re-reading some of the books to see if I like it more now. Also, for some reason, optics. Which is weird, 'cause I like acoustics and you can use many of the same methods.

Mathematics and its branches is the only one that is a challenge to me. I am doing good to all the other subjects but only mathematics gives me headache. Mathematics is the only subject I am failing too.

At high school I found languages ok to begin with so I decided to take french at GCSE. But when I took it at GCSE I noticed a big increase in difficulty and I found it very difficult.It was the subject that I did worse at in my exams only managing to get a D grade when for my other subjects I got mainly B's.I also found chemistry pretty challenging but I worked really hard as I was good at biology and physics so I believed I had the potential to get a good grade overall,which I did an A*.

Math definitely!!! I already knew even when I was in the primary years that I was having a hard time with numbers. It took time before I am able to understand anything to do with them. I was always good at languages and history. I could go on and on talking about this and that in class but when it came to Math I just got so tensed and felt so insecure. I had a very nice Math teacher when I was 9, then I started loving it until I got to high school and started not getting anything at all again. I hated my teacher so much because I thought he ruined it. In college, I had a little bit of Math subjects like Algebra and Business Math. My Algebra professor was solving problems so easily. He was so calm and so relaxed. But when it was my turn to do it then I'm gone. Until now, I hate it. I don't really need it in my job so why bother. It is just not for me. I have seen friends and other people who could do it with so much fun. But not for me at all.:)

Definitely Physics. I don't really have a mind for science... but OK, I could do with Biology or Chemistry. Maths I struggled with for a bit, but it was OK. But Physics... OK, I didn't have too bad grades, because I studied for it really hard, but I did not understand it at all, and nor do I now. For me, all those physical actions and stuff going on in the world, I just can't imagine them, let alone understand. And the physical-mathematical tasks... I was like, give me a break, I don'"t understand anything from it.

Math was always my hardest subject, mostly because I'm dyscalculic. I took an special help math class which helped me pass but sadly never really helped me completely understand. I still struggle with math today. Language arts and history were always my strongest subjects.

There were three subjects that I hated at secondary school: Maths, Science and Physical Education. I was successful at asking the head teacher if I could stop doing Science. I did Religious Education instead and passed that subject in the exam at 16 years old. I wished to become a teacher. I had to have a grade C or above in English which I did and Maths which I didn't. I went to a Maths evening class and amazingly got the grade C to get me on my university degree at university. In my teacher training we had two terms of Physical Education training which I hated. Maths and Science were core subjects that we had a lot of. The Maths was useful for teaching children in a fun way. I found the Science lessons boring but did excellently in the exams due to reading all the books. I still find Maths hard. It is easy at level I teach though. In my first few years of teaching I found Physical Education lessons challenging. I read up on the topic before I teach Science.

hi porcospino. we are in the same boat. i'm really bad at math...simple math, algebra, trigonometry, calculus... anything and everything with numbers, i'm definitely not good at. which is funny because i got accepted to a highschool which specialized in math and science subjects. i guess i was good enough in science to pass in that school! lol! my strongest subjects, in fact my favorite ones, were english and history. at this point, i don't think i'll be taking any classes soon on any math subject. i did entertain thoughts about possibly taking up a master's degree but let us leave that for another discussion. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

Mathematics was the biggest challenge for me. Even now, I find mathematics difficult. It is not only difficult, I do not like mathematics either. Sometimes, it happens that we find a subject difficult, but we love it nevertheless. But in the case of mathematics, I hated it and also found it difficult.

Statistics and other math-related subjects. I still feel kinda weak at it but at least, I am not graded for it anymore. I hate studying for any math-related exam because I get bored easily and I can’t seem to make it more interesting for me. Ike you, I ma bad when calculating in my head and I always run the item twice to make sure I’m doing the right thing.

Pathophysiology - was the biggest part and my favorite challenge in my college year. Its so tricky, complicated but in the end you would appreciate how it is done. A headache but worth learning. xx

Physics and chemistry. I kind of hate and love them. I hate them because I don't like the teacher because she has favorites in the class and love them because it is challenging, we had to memorize the chemical table although I already forget most it now, while physics involves math which is my favorite subject.

I think that would have to be analytical geometry and advanced calculus. But I ended up dealing with numbers, stats, and projections because I am an Accountant now. Back then, I always feel nauseous and scared of the professor. But now, I still reel over the numbers and the formula but since there will be no more grades and report cards I am not as scared as I once was. Only an angry boss if I didn't turn in a good work.

Science subjects particularly Physics. I don't know if its the teacher or I just don't understand how everything else about it works. But when I was in college, I made sure I won't end up studying Physics again because I'll surely fail. So far, I haven't encountered Physics again after I graduate in highschool.

During high school years, i love Science - chem, physics, all of related to science and i did struggle with Math, i guess that has something to do with my mind set that it is HARD. when i reached college, i was amazed as to how i find math easy lol.. weird but i did excel with it and was able to solve things that fast! so i guess it has to do with how i think. I took up BS Economics and it has a lot of math in it too so it was quite hard.

No subject challenged me when I was student. When I studied at university, I hate Java subject. I learned it hard. Now, I still hate it :D

What is your major? Nursing? Calculus is definitely my biggest challenge. I'm not sure if it is truly difficult for me, but the amount of work it requires is ludicrous! I never keep up on my assignments because they are not worth marks, they are for practice, but then I fall behind and have a difficult time catching up.

When I was in fourth year high school I had a hard time with Physics and Math. I didn't have any problems with Math before and had decent grades in it, but I sort of lost interest in fourth year. No, I don't find it so hard right now anymore because I've regained the lost interest. Right now I wish I had paid more attention to the subject.Maybe I could have done better. Math and Physics were also the reasons why I wasn't an honor student during graduation. My other grades were fine. I also have difficulties in PE, because I don't like PE.
