I was just wondering as a pre-med, which is harder, the USMLE's or the MCAT?
Is the MCAT the hardest standardized test on the track of a med student?
Or should I look forward to a more difficult USMLE's?

I'm asking because I'm trying to find some motivation for studying for MCAT's. If I know the USMLE's are harder I can tell myself to "buck up" 'cause it won't be the hardest thing I'll face as a pre-med/med student..
