Start out at the lowest level of math possible and work your way up, advancing only when you've mastered the information.
When I first started out in college, I tested into pre-calculus and thought I could hack it. Nope. I didn't have the foundations for them, so I took introductory algebra and the following courses until now, and I'm currently in College Algebra / Functions but I'm comfortable with this stuff because I've learned the basic rules previously.

HAHA! At first glance I thought you said I hate testessss, and was figuring this was an A and P post. Can you tell what I just finished studying, yep Male/Female reproductive. I agree with pp, start at lowest level and go from there.

Fundamental math skills are paramount to any subfield of the medical world. With that said I had issues with math as well, the thing that I had to do was to take pre-100 level math prep courses at a community college, and it helped me tremendously. The courses built on each to build a solid foundation for me. Hope this helps!
