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.

Without Magoosh, I would have done way fewer practice problems and not have taken such realistic practice sections. I believe Magoosh is what helped me to exceed my goal scores, so thank you!

I found it really useful to have all the information laid out for me in one place, and the videos did a great job of explaining all the topics that could be in the exam. The practice questions were very realistic, and were very similar to what I experienced on exam day.

Prepping on material/ learning what types of questions were on the test, actual test practice (the best way I learn), suggested study habits (didn't use any but it was nice to know, plus the coasters vs sprinters bit was funny), and prompt responses to questions I asked. Also, the essay and FCP/combinatorics video lessons were excellent and helped me understand stuff i didn't get way back in high school. All these combined helped bolster my confidence.

Magoosh and the official ETS guide/CD were the only resources that I used, and I scored higher than I even hoped for! I watched all the tutorial videos, read some of your blog articles, looked at the study plan (and then designed my own), read some posts on your FB group page. I took a practice test once a week and solved as many problems as I could (although I didn't get even half of them done). I feel that you offer plenty of resources for the students who are disciplined enough to study on their own. Couldn't be more thankful for your help in achieving my score goals! And special thanks for answering my questions via email so promptly, even over the weekend!

Magoosh gave me the necessary intensive practice in the limited time of twenty-five days I had to prepare for GRE. The mock exams along with the experimental section helped me build the endurance needed for the actual exam. Giving mock exams in Magoosh helps to take the actual GRE test a lot easier. The best part of Magoosh is the practice questions. Prompt reply to the doubts raised and easy to understand solutions and videos ensure that there are no hassles while learning.

Magoosh made things very digestible and organized the lessons in a way that did not feel overwhelming. I absolutely could not have raised my score 20 points without Magoosh.

Math lessons that just teach what you need for the GRE. I know the ETS website directs testers to a site with math lessons, but they are very general in scope and not as focused as the magoosh videos. The study plan on the blog was great for helping me pace my studies as well.

The excess of practice questions and practice tests were great. It was like a bottomless well of practice. The GRE really does test your ability to conform to the test's structure and pace just as much as, if not more so than, your abilities with math, reading , and vocab.
