| In British English, we don't use 'in' here much at all. |

| The rule that for example "Vocabulary in Use" gives us is "to be good at", but it sound weird if we say "to be good at arts", doesn't it? So I guess it is good at, but sometimes in appears.. like exceptions.. or like AmE.. |

| I'd use 'at' here, but many American speakers would use 'in', which would be uncommon in the UK. |

| I've actually rarely heard anyone use "good in math" unless they mean the class (as opposed to the subject), whether they say the "class" part or not. He's good in math [class]. At the same time, though, saying "He's good at math class" as opposed to math as a subject sounds a little funny to me. |
