It's entirely possible and could be worth looking into. There are many different elements to how we understand things, such as spatial ability or reading comprehension. Plus things like processing speed and working memory (I know some of this from my D having various assessments).
For example, my mom is great with numbers (used to work as a bookkeeper), but she can't read a map or reverse directions at al (like figure out how to get home from somewhere new).
Though as Lemon said, if it was at all math-related, they've changed how they teach that. I've tried reading about it and was still confused--and I used to be really good at math in school!
