I'm confused by in and at.
Should be good at or in; bad at or in; weak at or in and strong at or in?
Many thanks.

When you are talking about skills or sports, you can use at for all of those.
I am good at math.
I am bad at tennis.
I am weak at golf.
I am strong at weight lifting.
You can use in when talking about general ideas or behaviors.
