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 was my savior and I cannot thank them enough for being generous and extending my subscription for over a month and especially when I needed the most. The math problems that I practiced on Magoosh were the only problems that I revisited on my last round of practice and it helped me immensely. Big kudos to everyone on the team who responded promptly to each of my queries I raised.during my practice. Finally, thank you again.

It better prepared me for each section by providing plenty of practice questions and a content review for each section of the test.

As an engineer, math was my strength heading into the GRE. However, by practicing all the Magoosh questions and listening to many of the math videos, I was able to significantly improve my pace. I've always struggled some with timed tests. The verbal flashcards helped to expand my vocabulary.

Well, in earnest I gave myself roughly five weeks to study intensively for the exam. I used an ETS practice exam, as well as all the Magoosh study materials. Before I started studying, my ETS practice exam score was a 160V and 154Q. After studying for 5 weeks with Magoosh, my score on the real deal was a 163V and 167Q, so a 16 point total difference.

The study plans really helped. I was self learning to prepare for GRE. I was a total newbie before using Magoosh.

The questions from Magoosh is very good. I keep practicing and reviewing till the last prep day. Eventually, I found my own pace to solve problem after several weeks training. Magoosh vocabulary flashcard is one of the best vocabulary materials that I have used.

It was helpful to have a study guide that allowed me to adjust based on my skill level and time. I also liked the reminders emails a lot!

I have been out of school for over 30 years and needed to reboot my math skills. Magoosh was great -- broke it down, presented it block by block and gave me what I needed. I could have done better only by spending more time with Magoosh.

Helped me improve my verbal score (compared to practice exams) a bit. But it didn't help me with cracking 160, which is what I wanted.

There was some GRE-relevant math that I didn't know at all when I took the test the first time. I learned everything I needed to know from the tutorial videos, and the practice problems helped the information sink in. My final quant score was a bit disappointing, but this was my fault. (I got stuck on a problem that I knew how to do, but I didn't get the needed insight in time.)

The math lessons were very helpful. It was nice to know the secrets for beating the test. Math was where I needed the most help, so I spent most of my time there, but the few verbal videos I watched were also helpful.
