How does graduate school differ from undergrad?

Is it a lot harder? Is the type of work/thinking/testing different?
I'm an undergraduate student double majoring in Finance and Accounting and I'm planning on going back to school for an MBA/MS Taxation. The only problem is I don't know what to expect. I have decent grades, but I'll be working full time when attending grad school... and studying for the CPA exam too.

Can someone with experience tell me what to expect?

**Oh, I got a 650 on the Princeton Review's pre-GMAT test. (In case that may give you an idea of how much I would have to put into my studies)

I'm planning on attending the University of Pittsburgh's business school.

Grad school is quite different from undergrad. I was a stellar undergrad and did well on the GREs but grad school kicked butt. There are a lot of reasons for this, including an irrational reading list and expectation of performance, and the constant questioning of self that arises as a result of the first reason(s).
As long as you're really motivated to finish you will. But you will face numerous challenges on your path - know that and know that you can overcome them and you will.
