Very true. Sometimes it all depends on the tactic used to learn. I can't remember as it's been over 5 years now since I've been in any math class, but I used to have a different style to find certain methods or variables.

I said earlier how history was my one of the classes I struggled in, but when it hit WWII period I pretty much aced every quiz and test. The whole period was so much more interesting to me after I played CoD World at War (takes place during WWII of course). Even if it was mainly the zombies portion of the game that kept my attention. Some how all the lore behind it drew my attention in way more.
