| Anyone here feels that your strongest major is not your most favorite major?
My strongest major is math and science. I scored over 100% on many of my science classes and math classes. Now I am a junior and I am in pre-calculus honor now. still I feel it simple(regret on not taking AP calculus). At the same time I am in AP physics, which usually should be taken in the Senior year. And I only need to do some practise to follow along the course(which means I don't have a really hard time yet). But I never plan to be a scientist or mathematician.
Instead of all bunch of science stuff. I love drawing more, so I took the AP studio art last year. even I got an A in that class, But I only got a 3 on the AP exam, which frustrated me.
Anyone has the same feeling?
Any idea?
welcome to discuss

I sometimes wonder the same thing. I do well in math classes, but that's not necessarily what I want to go into...

i do much better in math than in science, but i wanna pursue a biology major; i guess that it's technically a good thing cause when i finish my major, I'll still have my strong math, but I'll also have a strong biology with it; i sometimes wonder if i should double major with math and biology just cause i have a stronger background in math

A friend's son got an 800 for SATI Math (old test) but majored in film studies & wants to be an extra & work his way up to being a movie star. He graduated & is in Hollywood pursuing his dream.
My son always does very well in verbal & reading 800/770CR SATI, but wants to go into math/science, which he also does pretty well in (tho he did get a C for honors pre-calculus junior year). He does NOT plan to study anything in liberal arts.
I'd say follow your passion--tests are only one measure & ETS & College Board do NOT make the best measure of what you know or your passion.

I agree with HImom, and I also believe that some stuff just comes easier to some people than others. But, just because something is easy for someone doesn't mean that he'll necessarily enjoy it. For example, I find coloring easy, but I don't particularly enjoy it. However, biology, which I often find very difficult and tedious can still be one of the most fun things in the world.

I LOVE science, but I am not particularly good at it. Rather, I am actually brilliant in the area of social sciences. Ironically, I HATE social sciences.
This totally sucks!

I'm good at Science and English, but I don't think I'm going to major in those areas. Probably Economics.

I would say my strongest area would probably be in Computer/Electrical Engineering, but I love in Finance/Accounting/Business Mangement.

I do not hate math, instead I have a kinda good feeling during I am doing difficult problem, because i know i am gonna solve it. I like chem, I have a feeling of pride after balanced a extreme hard reaction, I am just love them. But I never plan to take major in math or science. I love drawing more. So I am kinda shifting around and cannot decide which major to take

by the way the reason I love art and design is because I play video game since I was 6, and I watched how it developed from very simple graphic to high tech 3d realistic graphic, I am just total in love with the graphic stuff. an other reason is that I studying painting when I was 3, and I like to doodle on my textbook( never do that, or you gonna pay for it) for years. I like to doodle on my test paper, my notebook and anywhere I can find space.
