Admissions exams, bar exams, government exams etc. I am interested in any objective measure of what the most challenging standardized exams are, not just based on pass rate, but based on intangibles as well, such as the overall qualifications required to take the exam, the potential stakes etc.

The MCAT wasn't hard, it was just really long and arduous. I took it twice and scored in the 85th percentile both times (score expires fast!).
The NY Bar Exam sounds far more painful. Any test that takes several days and involves case files and multiple handwritten essays has gotta be tougher than the MCAT.
But I think the collected USMLE exams, Steps 1 through 3 PLUS CLINICAL have got to be the worst. If it wasn't hard enough to pass, it also costs thousands of dollars just to take!!!

Likely the toughest exam is the MENSA exam, which weeds out those who aren't super intelligent and able to qualify for inclusion in that high IQ group.

The MCAT---med school exam! I think the Bar for law school grads comes in a close second though.
