As in degree of difficulty please rank from 1-3

I have heard
1.MCAT (being the hardest)
2.LSAT
3.GMAT
have no clue if this is true or not.

MCAT
LSAT
GMAT




GRE

Has anyone taken all 3 exams?

It's kind of hard to be objective when you're guessing.

Doubt anyone has taken all 3...LSAT and GMAT probably not too uncommon...but to see someone take MCAT and something else would be pretty rare, much less take all 3

i took the DAT, which is very similar to the MCAT (only for dental school), and I have taken the GMAT


I studied a ton for the DAT (several years ago) and did not do all that hot.
I studied for the GMAT much less, and did pretty well.

The DAT/MCAT is much, much harder. I thought the GMAT was relatively easy in comparison.

I went to business school with a dude that quit medical school during year two...so you would assume he is a sharp guy. The funny thing is that he only scored 630 on the GMAT.


I guess he had a bad day or just wasnt good at the logic type testing. The only way to be good at the GMAT is to understand testing logic. I have heard that the MCAT and LSAT have more to do with actual studying...hard studying.


My guess is:
1. MCAT
2. LSAT
3. GMAT

I only took the GRE and LSAT, LSAT is much harder and has a lot more to do with how quickly you can think, GRE is well .. easy as long as you study the words list and brush up on your 9th grade geometry (that somehow has something to do with grad school, how Im not sure).

LSAT is much harder.

Didnt take GMAT, thought about it, but was only looking at joint app schools for MBA/MS

I've only taken the MCAT. It was indeed very difficult.

the mcat is not hard.

I've only taken the MCAT and that was the first test I had to study more than the night before, in my life.

The test covers Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Organic Chemistry, Verbal Reasoning, Essay Writing and the most peculiar question mannerisms you could ever imagine.

The test can be beaten but you really have to work hard and dedicate at least 3 (maybe 6 depending on what you remember from your classes) solid months to it.

"peculiar question mannerisms" is that implying they are difficult?

i thought it was a very straight foward test with a plethora of standardized resources that basically took 4-5 weeks to read through and then it was point and shoot.

people that have trouble on the mcat will find far greater challenges than that in medical school.

Yes, I take back everything I said earlier.

The MCAT is the easiest test known to man. You get a 35 just for spelling your name correctly.

I disagree, but to each his own...

It really depends what your background is. I helped someone study for their MCAT and found it to not be that difficult. She on the other hand found it to be the most difficult thing that she had every done in her life.
