Differences in FAA Medical Exam Classes

[NeedleNose]

How are the medical exams for the different classes different? Is there any actual difference in the exams themselves, or do they just expire at different times?

I just got a Class 2 and it didn’t seem any “tougher” than the Class 3 I got 18 years ago.
