on the GMAT, consider is never to be in the form of considered as.

He was considered as the best. WRONG
He was considered the best. CORRECT


I found this description somewhere on this forum. Can anyone give me a REAL GMAT question where consider took this form?

consider that + sentence
>> I consider that the weather will be fine.

Both consider to be and consider as are wrong

Consider X, Y is the correct idiom.

I believe 'considered to be' is correct.

He is considered to be the greatest hockey player in history.

Not sure about 'considered as'??

when I think of 'consider to be', I think of it in the following constructions-

The biologists consider X to be superfluous.
OR
The biologist considers X to be superfluous.
OR
Jack's peers consider him to be a champion chess player.
