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.

For math, I liked the videos they explained lessons and problems well for the most part. For reading, the strategy helped a lot in narrowing down questions as opposed to answering questions which was good because the problems became less overwhelming.

I felt calm and confident going into the test that I had prepared for every type of question. I really appreciated the estimated score on the dashboard based on answered questions; I saw myself improve in my math and verbal skills over time through Magoosh, which was extremely encouraging.

I scored above my projected score, which was very exciting! I would highly recommend Magoosh to anyone looking to prep for the GRE in a month.

Having completed my undergraduate degree more than a decade ago and spending the last several years at home raising children, I needed a review that could get my test-taking neurons firing again. Magoosh helped me regain confidence and recall long-forgotten skills. The 1-month program was affordable and just what I needed to get back on my game. Thanks, all.

If it were not for Magoosh, I would not have performed as well as I did. The tutorials, step-by-step explanations, and the hundreds of practice problems really made the difference for me. It improved my score by over 10 points!

Magoosh was the only resource I relied on to prepare for the GRE. I paced myself through the videos and the practice problems over the course of a month, then took a practice test. I walked into the testing center with confidence, and I walked out feeling equally confident.

I thought the training was very relevant to the GRE. I liked that the questions that came from magoosh were a little harder than the actual questions.

Magoosh helped me brush up on my algebra and geometry! This is my second round of grad school and I absolutely dreaded taking the GRE again. I studied for over three hours a night using Magoosh and one other resource and found the combination to be super helpful. Magoosh also taught me some quick tricks for those tricky quant comparison questions. I watched all of the writing videos and felt like those were super helpful in figuring out what the GRE was looking for on the AWA section.
