What do all of these tests encompass?

I'm not that familiar with them.

How long do they take...how long do people study for them...how many tests are there...etc.?

MCAT is the hardest by a mile.

Frankly I think most people with a college education and some prep work can BS at least a 150 on the LSATs. And the general GREs are like repeat SATs. Unless you got dumber in college, I don't see how GREs can be hard.

MCAT requires actual knowledge.

The rest you just need to know how to take tests.

MCAT by far

even though i didnt take it, i watched my friends study for it

i took the LSAT and i didnt prepare as hard as they did

although its hard to compared the two because one tests knowledge while one tests intelligence

more than anything they're all relative to the other people taking them.

Most pre-law kids don't try very hard.

Most people that are going for phDs don't try that hard until they're in grad school [vast over-generalization.. obviously.]

Pre-med kids work their [censored] asses off every day of their undergrads, and they study for the MCATs like it's their job.

Since it's weighted based on the performance of the others that took it.. it's really hard.

How many exams are there, how long are the exams, how long do they study for, and how long does the whole process take? (Begin study for MCAT to passing MCAT)

Since I've asked twice now for more info. about the MCATs and nobody has answered I will go ahead and say that the ARE is the hardest exam, by a "mile".

The MCAT is one exam with 3 sections. If you want to talk about the Boards they have to take later, that's a different issue.

The AREs sound like a professional exam, not something that you take in order to get into graduate school, which would make it a completely different category all together.
