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 strategies for attacking problems made a huge difference, especially in the reading comprehension area. The math videos were very helpful, and I felt like I could have solved every problem on the test.

I took a practice test and got 163/163. Magoosh was a valuable tool to review math concepts, and provide tools and strategies to attack verbal problems. Practice problems and explanations were helpful

It gave me an opportunity to constantly practice GRE questions in between my two tests, which I think was very helpful! The video tutorials and explanations were also wonderful! Thanks!!! I'm very happy with the improvement of my results.

It helped me to get practice and advices for the exercises that were more frequent in the test. I didn't watch the videos, because I had already the theoretical background, but the practice was a very important part to be succesful.

Gave me a lot of review on mathI know 158 is no great shakes but it would have been a lot lower without all the patient and easy-to-understand math lesson videos. They weren't fun to get through for someone who doesn't jive with math, but I know anything other than those videos would have been simultaneously more painful and less helpful. As for the verbal videosI am going to be honest and say that I didn't really learn anything in terms of content from them, and I didn't really use any of the strategy suggestions when it came to tackling questions, but the lessons were indispensable in terms of familiarizing me with the question types. I felt a lot more confident going into the exam after having used Magoosh than I would have if I hadn't. I felt, more or less, like I knew what I was doing.

A ton of challenging, representative practice problems allowed me to practice to death and make sure I was fast and well prepared for everything on the test. The custom quiz modes were very helpful. I would not have done as well as I did without practice, practice, practice. I was extremely impressed by the sheer volume of practice problems and detailed, helpful explanations for each one. Worth every penny.

Absolutely saved my skin on the Maths section, which I dropped when I was 16. I only used it for 2/3 weeks, and I'm certain I would have scored higher had I used it for longer.
