I've always been very good at math, but with me my skill seems to go DOWN the higher of math I get. Arithmetic was WAY too easy for me, algebra still very easy, geometry slightly challenging, and calculus truly challenging. I think being unchallenged in school so long, especially in math, may have reduced my ability to truly learn new material.
One thing that's reversed over the years is story/real-world problems. I used to find those harder than pure math, but now if anything they're easier. Thinking of a possible real-world application (or visually as a graph if possible) often HELPS me understand how to do a problem.

I think algebra is more about general logic, so I could understand some people finding that easier than doing a lot of calculations.
For me a lot depends on how math is taught, I struggled with it during my freshman year in high school, but then they got a new textbook that had a different system of teaching and I started getting As. |
