It is believed that Remus excelled in every subject there ever was but that isn't true.
For him, in studies there had always been two exceptions: Potions and Care Of Magical Creatures.
Remus wasn't so proficient in potions and the proof of that is that even in the books, Snape had been entrusted to brew wolfsbane for Remus because it is a very complex potion and as he wasn't so good at potions, Dumbledore certainly didn't want him to take the risk.
And for Care of Magical Creatures, the reason is pretty simple. He was a werewolf thus making him a dangerous beast in the eyes of the creatures as well. So all those creatures they had to handle in class such as Bowtruckles and Flobberworms didn't like being handled by a werewolf and would often get a lot aggressive when it was Remus's turn to handle them.
