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.

Access to a large number of problems and video explanations was incredibly helpful. Also the ability to set up simulated section - sized quizzes made studying easy.

The Magoosh videos, practice questions, and study plans were amazing resources. I couldn't afford expensive test prep, so this was a great, inexpensive alternative. I also experience a lot of test anxiety, but I gained a lot of confidence with the (seemingly) never-ending supply of practice questions.

I did almost all the practice problems and lesson videos. They were ridiculously helpful and felt very close to the real test. The explanation videos were great too and I never came away from a problem not understanding it. It was easy to mark problems I wanted to revisit and keep track of what areas I needed to focus on.

Verbal section was amazing. However, the math section was not of great help to me, as the levels of easiness/difficulty weren't exactly like the actual gre.

Lots of high quality practice problems. Good video explanations. I did not use the lessons much, but they were helpful when I did.

The 90 Day Study Plan kept me on track to reach my goal of at least a 320. My first practice test I scored a 314 (157 Quant 157 Verbal), and I was able to improve by 18 points!

It gave me an easy to follow, methodical study plan. Most helpful was that it fave me a lot of problems to solve, and then told me how to solve them.
Also I applied to four highly competitive PhD programs and got into three of them.

Magoosh very correctly mimicked the actual GRE, helping me feel familiar and at ease with the format on test day. The best individual portion of Magoosh is the video that accompanies every practice question.

Love the timed math questions, with the data afterwards that explains how long you took as compared to the average. Loved the video explanations that showed me faster ways to do the same problem. Loved the vocab app that I could use easily when at the gym. Couldn't recommend you guys more.

Got me up to speed in 3 months. I had not touched a quadratic equation in 15 years, but through Magoosh, my GRE score was good enough for me to get into my masters program.
