I came top of my class (High School) for four years in English as well as Science for two years (until chemistry reared its ugly head LOL) - I've still got the First Place Certificates to prove it. 
I've even kept the Holy Cards I won for coming first in Spelling Bees in Primary School. (Talk about never throwing anything out!)
I also did piano lessons for years, so when the class general Music Appreciation end of year exam came around the questions were so easy for me that I sneakily supplied answers to the questions to those members of the class who hadn't bothered to pay attention (or even turn up) but were desperate not to fail what was for them a useless subject. Helping the class cheat - does that count? 
Subjects I wasn't good at - French and Maths....and I loathed Sport. I specialised in working out where to stand on a sports field where nothing much happened. I was also adept at looking so unenthusiastic at participaing that I'd be the last person (or almost) to be picked for a team so that hopefully by the time my turn came to do something the bell would ring.
