Is left/right brained dominant thinking a real thing or just a theory?

I'm in college right now and I struggle in classes that deal with the memorization of formulas, finding a direct answer (chemistry, economics) but coast through courses that I believe involve more abstract thinking (humanities, philosophy). I also spend a great deal more time on the classes I struggle in yet I struggle to get C's in them.

    The sciences like physics and maths need more complex abstract thinking than the humanities and philosophy. So what you are good at humanities and philosophy needs less abstract thinking. I think the left/ right thing might be a bit of a generalisation. Plus the brain gets better at doing something it practices.
