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.

Magoosh didn't only allow me to make my concepts crystal clear but also allowed me to analyze my performance at every step. I knew where I was going wrong and which types of questions I needed to pay special attention to. Also the videos provided me with nifty tricks that bumped my overall score by 4-5 points easily.

After almost 10 years removed from academia, Magoosh was integral in refreshing the math skills necessary for tackling the quantitative section of the GRE. I found the explanations and general math tips so helpful that I did not require additional study material. The Magoosh verbal practice problems also greatly increased the speed by which I could analyze difficult verbal passages which I believe resulted in my high verbal score.

Magoosh helped me review (and let's be honest, learn for the first time) many of the math skills I hadn't used in years. It also helped by providing a list of important vocabulary words to learn and the Flashcards to learn them with. I took advantage of the practice problems and tests to help me get a feel for the style and timing of the test and the score predictor was quite accurate. The videos about the essay sections also helped give me an idea of what to focus on when writing so I could use my time effectively. Most of all, Magoosh helped me plan out and focus my studying and get the most out of every hour.

I liked all the lectures. Before I learn from Magoosh, I always answered the questions without confidence. After knowing how GRE wants me to read and answer, it was so much easier for me to manage time, and complement my weakness. Also, practice tests were really helpful! I recommend Magoosh for anyone :)

Magoosh helped me improve in many aspects. I felt intimidated by the problems. This time around, with the help of Magoosh I managed to consolidate over my fear of reading comprehension.

During the last six months, not only have I learnt quiet a lot of “in-context” vocabulary but also developed a liking for perusing literary jargon in newspapers and magazines. Thus, I think preparing for GRE through Magoosh ( though I used practice tests from other resources ) is going to have a long-term impact and the texts I once felt were recondite would not appear to be insurmountable.

Not to mention, my overall score improved 16 points, from 314 to 330, which I consider a mere side-effect if I see how far have I come in last 6 months. I hope they offer life-time memberships, would always enjoy reading and answering new problems.

Test strategies were AWESOME, videos and practice questions were a great way to touch up on topics I was unfamiliar with or hadn't seen in a while. Also, all the data that Magoosh provides on your practice question performance is AMAZING

Magoosh helped me to quickly cover topics for the verbal section, guiding me on how to tackle problems. All the strategies for verbal problems really helped me and kept me interested. The video lectures are superb and they comprehensively cover every topic giving examples while discussing a topic.

I spent three hours a day practicing all the questions. I also followed the Magoosh 1-month study plan.

It gave me a TON of practice! Thank you SO much!

Magoosh verbal is phenomenal, it helped me improve a lot, Chris makes intricacies of RC, SC so fun to learn for any non-native speaker! I would definitely recommend Magoosh to any of my friends :)

The comprehensive strategies available in video lessons to solve each and every question and the video explanation for every question helped me the most to get better in my performance.

Magoosh helped me understand how to prepare for the GRE. It made me realise the key element of learning from ones mistakes. The one month study plan was extremely crucial to my prep, and as a first timer it proved invaluable.

It helped me to familiarize myself with the format of the test and gave me tools to prepare myself. The study plan was helpful and also gave insight as to outside material I could use to better prepare myself.

I was responded to promptly whenever I had any doubts. I do admit one or two of the clarifications may have been beyond my understanding, but I should not blame Magoosh for it, for I have gained far more from their efforts that I should have had if I were preparing by myself.

Gave me a structure to study. The instructional videos were extremely helpful and the projected score during practice was great. I loved the connection between practice question and the little "relevant lessons" at the bottom.

Magoosh helped me a lot, riding all the math and verbal important concepts timely, boosted my score rapidly, well, before one month from the exam , I gave magoosh practice test, well, I didn't score that much which I expected but the questions they sets, was really similar ,that pop ups on the exam day, there Gmail service was remarkably good,they cleared my each and every doubt.Thanks to magoosh team.

Immensely. It actually helped me improve my verbal score a lot. In my mock tests I'd got 308. If I've got 320 now, thanks to magoosh

A month ago I nearly considered myself as an incorrigible noob to give GRE. Magoosh has really been helpful since. During this span of one month, winter break, I went through all the video lectures while taxing most of the practice questions which really helped me build an ability to explicitly think in a way for a particular question. The Vocabulary lessons by Chris and Quantitative lessons by Mike were tantamount to the best resources that I could get to observe a drastic change in my score.

My struggle was more timing than reasoning -- the fact that I can tweak my account to mimic the test EXACTLY how I needed to, was perfect. At some point, I was only working on the "very hard" questions to crack my best score, and being able to limit myself to those questions saved a lot of time -- ESPECIALLY when you compare to sitting in a paid in-person class and having to sit through other people's questions on "medium" or "hard" questions I'd already mastered. Magoosh's explanations and email respondents were extremely helpful in making me realize what GRE reasoning could help me narrow down my answers. Also, the emails are always written with encouragement as the main focus, so they always start with little boosts of energy and compliments to keep my spirits up. Lastly, Magoosh has a guide on managing stress, and the prominence of this guide within the study plans, the importance placed on this, was really helpful in getting me into the mindset and not letting myself get into cycles of feeling stressed and incapable and losing my drive.

Practice problems and explanations were the most helpful part!

Magoosh was extremely helpful in preparing me for both sections of the GRE. First, I did all of the math practice problems and studied the videos, and that was pretty much sufficient to get a high score. The practice problems were quite a bit more challenging than the actual test, but that's OK with me, as it made the actual test feel easier! For verbal, I basically just studied the vocabulary - I don't think the practice questions helped me too much, but I did do a couple of hundred questions just to get a better feel for things. The vocabulary was highly relevant to the exam and I saw many of the same words that I studied on the actual test.

I would definitely recommend Magoosh to any of my friends who wanted to study for the GRE.

I had a very short time to prep (three weeks) and Magoosh helped me refresh on the test format. I also was rusty on math formulas and processes and felt much more comfortable going into the test after just spending even about 10 hours doing math problems and reviewing questions I missed.

Magoosh was crucial in helping me prepare for the quantitative portion of the GRE. The quiz mode helped me get my timing better, and the video explanations below the questions were super helpful. The Magoosh math questions were definitely harder than what I encountered on the test, but this over-preparation was a good thing.
