You, Our Next Thriving Student?

I purchased a couple Manhattan Prep books, ETS's Official Guide, different phone apps, etc. yet I ended up using Magoosh's online application almost exclusively. I work full time and was only able to study after work and weekends. I was exhausted most nights after work before I even sat down to study... without the structure that Magoosh provides I would not have been able to be nearly as effective. I did not want to take the test more than once and my target was a 330. I scored a 331; what else can I say? Magoosh was literally a fraction of the price of the other paid resources. It has everything you need, trust me.

Magoosh helped keep me on track, at a much lower price point than other test prep systems. I followed the one-month plan, and was happy to do small pieces of prep each day. While I couldn't keep up the pace with a full-time job (as the guide warned me), I still believe Magoosh helped me a lot. I learned general strategies (number sense, not looking at the verbal answers without my own answer), a sense for timing, and most importantly, I always had a plan to follow so I couldn't second-guess myself.

The practice question explanations were really informative, and it felt easy to improve on my weaker subjects.

Although I've always had a solid footing in math, it had been years since I had used any of it, so I was super rusty a month before the test. I also didn't really have an idea about the structure of the test. Magoosh helped me quickly get up to speed with how the test works and videos lessons were super intuitive, only requiring me to watch them once to recall concepts I had studied in school. But what made it stand out further was the tips and tricks provided by instructors to save time - and these weren't just obscure formulae. Instead they helped you really understand why a concept works the way it does and that helps you come up with your own shortcuts to improve your time per question, something that I've struggled with all my life. Would like to express my gratitude in particular to Mike McGarry and Chris Lele, whose lectures I always looked forward to learning from. I almost never had a doubt in a concept or a strategy they explained.

Good prep material, videos were helpful

I have always believed that one could excel at anything as long as they have the desire and great instruction. Magoosh was that great instruction; they were an incredible help all around. Aside from having a vast amount of practice problems and great explanations of how to do the problems as one would expect, Magoosh really goes above and beyond when it comes to helping you learn how to take the GRE. The Quantitative Lectures did a great job, not only at explaining concepts, but also with how to efficiently tackle the wide variety of problems. The Verbal lectures also did a great job, as they offered solid strategies for grasping the meaning of the incredibly dense passages that the GRE likes to give. Magoosh’s vocabulary apps were also super helpful for legitimately learning the raft of unfamiliar vocabulary. Considering that I spent a little over a month studying, I am beyond satisfied with Magoosh and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a cost-effective and quality way to prepare for the GRE. THANK YOU MAGOOSH!!

Magoosh helped me recognize key patterns in the test questions, that gave me shortcuts to answers or helped me make confident choices. Time management was significantly easier due to Magoosh familiarizing me with the test before the exam, and I was able to confidently navigate the exam focusing on what was most important: the content of the exam.

The videos and practice problems really helped.

I really improved my verbal score with Magoosh’s help. The strategies provided for passage reading and flashcards were really helpful. I was confident about math, but going through the lessons provided really helped me in developing ways to find shortcuts and improvise strategies on my problem solving skills. I went from 300 (unprepared) to 321 thanks to Magoosh :)

I am a nurse, and I was working full time in the middle of a pandemic in addition to studying for the GRE. I had been out of school for several years and it had been even more years since the last time I took a math class. I didn’t have time to pour over multiple books and resources. A friend recommended Magoosh and I’m so glad she did. The website boiled down concepts for me so I didn’t have to waste time looking at different resources. I could skip concepts I felt comfortable with already and the video transcripts appealed to my learning style (I like to read as opposed to listen). I was able to do flash cards on the Magoosh app while I was traveling or had down time at work. I thought the price was more than fair for the amount of content I got, and I loved that I could “pause” my membership when I got swamped with work. 10 stars!

Helped me know what was important to study and what wasn’t.

How to approach the problems

Magoosh gave me the confidence I needed to get my desired score! I was so nervous, but Magoosh made me feel empowered and even excited to learn!

A question bank of more 1000 question with video lectures is all you need to entrench the concepts.
Especially,Quant medium and Hard questions are quite GRE styled questions.Very Hard Questions of Quant used to have me on the edge but these are the ones which helped me think in most effective way in 35 minutes time .
Regarding Verbal,TC & SE questions were gem and the main highlight is that even though they have their vocabulary app of 1000 words .You will definitely encounter more than 100 words while solving those TC & SE questions .Made a note of it.Took out surprise from the exam since I was aware of all the words

Magoosh has questions that were nearly identical to the actual GRE. The large question bank of Math questions combined with the tips and tricks on how to tackle the questions made Math a breeze!

Magoosh's Quant lessons educated me on a lot of different strategies and 'tricks' that I could use to simplify seemingly tough problems on the GRE. Also loved the fact that the solutions to problems are explained via a video and not just text, unlike many other test prep services.

The variety of question types that Magoosh exposed me to was instrumental in helping me prepare for the exam.

It helped me learn difficult level of math and verbal and how to solve them in the given time frame. It helped me to develop my logical thinking in Verbal and taught me how to eliminate trap answers in both verbal and math.

it really helped me to have a comprehensive plan and something that told me what to do on every single day to prepare. i gave myself six weeks to study (magoosh videos for four weeks and then practice problems for two weeks after that) and my score went from a baseline of 314 to 329 on the actual exam!

Taught me about the test

Magoosh helped me identify areas for growth and offered videos focused around those specific topics. I liked the feature of giving quizzes after math sections so I could decide whether I felt ready to move on or if I wanted to keep reviewing that topic. The practice GRE test I took also predicted my scores pretty well: I received the same Quant score on the real GRE, and I was able to bring my Verbal score up a few points because I went through all the words on the Magoosh Vocabulary Builder app.

1. Great lessons with relevant information
2. Brilliant practice questions and explanations
3. The vocabulary flashcards were a great resource

Used it to cover the fundamentals of math and can’t say enough about how helpful magoosh was. I think there was some gaps in my foundational math skills and these videos were incredibly helpful.

Would be happy to recommend this to anyone, and I’m positive if I had another month to study my score would’ve been even higher.

On my first practice test with Magoosh I got 312. Slowly but surely I worked my way up to higher and higher scores using their 3 month beginner plan. Their lessons were amazing, the ability to watch at double speed made it easy and convenient to review concepts. Their video explanations of every single question, accompanied by their written explanations were interminably helpful (notice the use of the GRE word they taught me). They also provided links to the lessons that could help you when you got questions wrong, so you didn't have to go search through all the lessons trying to find the right one. Their blog was also incredible, and their live courses were so much fun and informative. Their customer service was also AMAZING--they would respond to a question I had about a problem in minutes. Their study buddy feature is also a fantastic resource to take advantage of. I did a couple of gre prep books/programs before Magoosh, but I continued to struggle with concepts that were immediately elucidated with a Magoosh explantation. I do not doubt that it was really Magoosh that enabled me to get such a fantastic score. Truly, can't say enough good things about Magoosh (not sponsored, I swear!!)

Magoosh adapted to my learning needs and gave me a realistic interface to work with to prepare for the GRE. It was also good for someone like me who only had three weeks to prepare for the exam!

I was looking for a test prep provider for my GRE exam that could prepare me for a high score, especially in the quants section. I came to know about the great resources and tests provided my magoosh and enrolled for the 1 Month Premium plan. The level of the material provided was perfect for my need and with the always-available chat facility, I could clear my doubt on the spot and without a hitch. Also, a big thank you to Mike McGarry and Chris Lele for the awesome content and engaging videos.

Helped with AWA! Provided some nice structure to think about the verbal sections, instrumental in getting my scores from 154 when I started studying verbal to 167.
