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.

I am in immense debt to Mike McGarry's thoughtful, well-paced teaching methods. I've never had such fun learning math. Even though his videos aren't personalized, I felt as though he was invested in my abilities and cared about me as a student. Maybe it's just because I've had arguably cold and indifferent math teachers, but I realized with Magoosh's approach to math, encouragement goes much farther to help a student learn math than negative reinforcement does.

Magoosh questions are extremely similar to the questions on the actual GRE. I didn’t see any questions on the GRE that Magoosh hadn’t prepared me for.

Gave me tons of problems to do (primarily the verbal section though, I was very confident for quant going in) and lots of videos on how to solve verbal questions/write the essay components. AND FLASHCARDS. It was awesome to have them in a mobile app so I always had them with me.

The whole set-up of Magoosh is great. Having quizzes after each section helped gauge how I was progressing and having full practice tests was helpful to train for the length of the test.

The one month study plan helped me to maximize my studying in the minimal time that I had. It felt like I had endless problems to work through, so I always ended up doing more practice than the suggested amount.
