Voltage Divider & Voltmeter help

Hi, I have a problem also with a arduino voltmeter/ammeter that is part of a power supply I made.
I have written all the code connected it up and it reads the volts and amps pretty accurately on an lcd.
My problem is when i connect a load to the power supply the voltage drop shown on the lcd is no where near what it reads on a multimeter. ie. if I set the voltage to say 6.00 volts connect a 3.9ohm load the lcd shows 5.8 volts where as the multimeter shows something around 5.00 volts. and doesn't drop much more with bigger loads either.
Does anyone know why this might be?
