Exclamation one arm stronger than the other

I have worked out both my arms with the same amount of weight and the same amount of reps my right arm can still out lift my left by probably three reps or so, can anyone explain why and tell me if there is anything i can do?

Do you use one arm more than the other throughout the day? I have a similar issue, when I was working full time my lifting was as symetrical as you would except, after a month into being full time college student my right arm is lagging slightly on the dumbbell curls. I can only think to attribute this to using my right arms for writing in class for several hours each day.
