Ok, so I am a Psychology major and I haven't taken any math courses in a long time. I have taken brief calc in college. I am planning on taking the MCAT in January. I know we can't use calculators, but I am terrible at math. I am thinking I should take a basic math course. Would that be frowned upon by adcoms? I would buy books for a refresher, but I know I'd lazy out till the last minute.
Basic Arithmetic?

No need for basic math course!
It's just a series of tricks that you learn how to play around with equations, estimate fast, etc. And you can learn this through lots of practice problems and/or looking into various threads in MCAT forum for advices.

Algebra and trigonometry are necessary for the physics section of the MCAT, no calculus is tested and no prior knowledge of the subject is required *yay* . Take trig and you will be set. The chemistry section will require very basic arithmetic and algebra. Also, calculus is not a requirement for most medical schools, but you should check to make sure. Good luck!

Perhaps, Khan videos? I know that Berkley Reviews are fantastic for PS section, so maybe look through it and do some practice problems slowly in the beginning, and learn the tricks as you go.
