While math is not tested directly on the MCAT, you WILL be faced with a number of science questions where scientific notation calculations are required. Without a Calculator!
Scientific notation on the MCAT is a common source of panic, because unlike simple long multiplication and division, it's hard to fall back on pen-and-paper method.
This MCAT Math Without A Calculator tutorial video will show you how to tackle scientific notation if it shows up in the form of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

In summary:
Addition of scientific notation: Ensure you have the same exponent power, add the coefficients
Subtraction of scientific notation: Ensure you have the same exponent power, subtract the coefficients
Multiplication of scientific notation: Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents
Division of scientific notation: Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents
