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.

It was instrumental in showing me the type of problems that would be on the test.

Magoosh helped a great deal to understand what to expect on the test and to sharpen my skills in math, verbal, and writing.

Chris Lele's video lessons for the verbal section were extremely helpful.

For both verbal and math, the practice problems and video explanations helped with problem types and pacing.

Familiarity with a subject I haven't touched in a decade.

Magoosh provided me with all the essential knowledge for taking the GRE. The mass amount of practice test is very helpful and the personal response from your staff is also fast and thorough.

Study math topics

Magoosh helped me have a structured approach to studying - the plans, vocabulary flashcards, and videos helped me know exactly what to expect from the test! :)

Excellent tutorials and practice tests. Excellent math section and tips.

High quality questions, high quality videos, good material (useful tips and structured content). Above all, the community at the Facebook group was awesome.

Magoosh seems harder than the actual GRE, which helps during the exam because you become faster. The timed exercises is a deal breaker. I couldn't finish the exam the first time I took the GRE, so time management was key.

Magoosh helped me by providing excellent material to study and by helping me to plan my study.

Improve Verbal

I focused exclusively on my quant score since I had not studied that material since high school, about 10 years ago. Going through about half of the practice questions and accompanying explanations was enough to raise my quant score 10 points. The alternate explanations, and tips on some of the tricks the GRE likes to use on test takers, were invaluable on test day. I would also stress that I was never a poor math student, but had simply forgotten what I'd learned in high school.

The videos were great! I appreciated the focus on testing strategy alongside material. I also loved the vocabulary builder app - it helped me learn on the go!

text completion problems. tips to reading.

I wasn't satisfied with my original Quant score of 163 and I was further frustrated because I felt I had studied quite a bit before my first attempt. I used Magoosh for only 1 week before my second attempt to target Quant areas that I thought I needed to work on. I also found that the hard and very hard questions were challenging enough to prepare for the real test. I am just thrilled that Magoosh prepared me so well for the test and I want to thank Mike especially for his awesome video lessons.

I loved the structure Magoosh provided.

Gave me a good understanding of all the types of problems on the test.

Helped me a lot in verbal, Chris' explanations were awesome. Vocabulary was never a problem for me but the verbal videos helped me understand how a lot of different GRE words are used in various situations. I was not very good at realizing how certain words could mean different things depending on the context and Magoosh videos helped me with that. It is fun, interactive, the detailed breakdown is nice, helped me know where I needed to focus.

Videos and practice questions

1.Timed practice problems in the verbal and quant section are really good at simulating the stressed environment of the test centre.
2. Magoosh flashcards app is a perhaps the best place for practicing GRE vocabulary.

Accurately modeled question structure and rigor

It provided me with focus and a plan. I hadn't seen high school math in 20 years and I needed a refresher on everything and this was perfect. I didn't study for the verbal, since the score didn't matter for my program.
