What problems did you have in school?
Secondary school: I failed Physics and Chemistry and had to redo the 5th year because of that [and personal reasons], I changed tracks so I got more languages and creative things, but then I still had a hard freaking time with Maths!
I had trouble motivating myself to do homework, hand things in on time, etc.
Art school: my hardest subjects in Photography were the actual photography classes, sometimes I didn't have any inspiration or opportunity to do what I wanted to do, so it was pretty tough. Art history of the last century was quite hard to get through as well, I much preferred Prehistoric, Medieval and Renaissance art history. Architecture was a draggggg.
Uni: The acoustic bit of Phonetics wasn't my friend. Keeping up with Japanese was quite hard as well, I didn't do as well as I would have liked. I think most of my courses in uni were okay though! Syntax and Syntactic Theory weren't the easiest but I did okay in them. I didn't fail a single class so I'm happy. The toughest was always reading articles & understanding them and for Interactive Linguistics it was transcribing and remembering the correct terms for analysis.
My biggest problems were/are always to make a plan, start on time, keep track of things and HAND. THINGS. IN. I only started to get that at some acceptable level in freaking last year. Time management, and keeping on top of things when not feeling mentally the best ever... those two things were my biggest hurdles.
