Is the LSAT harder than the MCAT?

The LSAT may be harder than the MCAT, depending on your background and strengths. Unfortunately, there is no exact answer on which one is harder, because it depends on the individual person, their knowledge, and their test-taking strengths and weaknesses.

The LSAT relies less on extensive background knowledge, but it has lengthy and complex reading material. That can be extremely challenging for some test-takers. The MCAT has a simple structure, but it does require in-depth comprehension of scientific and medical principles. Depending on your strengths and weaknesses, one of these may seem much simpler than the other.
