How to improve math skills for mcat?

I feel like even though I know how to do the problems for ps section, I run out of time because of math. Any tips? Thanks!

I think you already know the answer. Practice.

Get a kids' mental math app. I did that before I even started practicing problems...just downloaded something called 'King of Math' on iOS and plugged away. It's fun AND vaguely useful!

...but yeah, that doesn't take a forum poll to figure out. Or it shouldn't, anyway.

Math apps (per @mehc012), Khan academy math, rudimentary math textbooks, online math practice/review (again, elementary arithmetic and algebra), or make up your own questions and check yourself with a calculator.

check this site out: http://leah4sci.com/mcat/

she has a bunch of "math without a calculator" tutorial videos that are really helping me. I was having the same issues--I knew the concepts and equations but then would get tripped up by the math (physics and any form of math was ~6 years ago for me), which just made me feel dumb as rocks.

Hope it helps, Goodluck! 🙂
