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.

Verbal lessons were really great and real to Gre questions. I also liked the fact that that there was an experimental session in mock test. That was really helpful in building the stamina.

Definitely, the lessons were insightful and the built-it exercise was immensely helpful in internalizing the concepts. The pool of problems was high quality and the adaptive+immediate feedback facitilated learning (vs. just motioning through problems). More than helping my score, Magoosh is amazing for it helped me learn - which is ultimately the goal for going to grad school.

It gave me the methods and schemes I needed to take the exam better overall. I clearly knew the math before, as I work in science and use most of this math every day, but Magoosh gave me the tools I needed to apply those skills properly to the exam.

The questions provided by magoosh are so diverse that I learnt the math part of GRE simply by solving the practice problems and reviewing the videos when I was unclear about the answers. The videos were such a great source to brush up on information you learnt before as well as just learn cool new tricks.

Magoosh basically retaught me all of high school math in a matter of weeks, and I ended up with a score in math that I was very happy with (which as a quantitatively challenged person was no small feat). I did hundreds of practice problems and a bunch of practice tests that were both also very helpful in improving my score. Thank you Magoosh!
