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 provides a convenient way to prepare for the GRE. They are very customisable to anyone's schedule or way of studying. The videos provide many techniques and the practice test are also very accurate.

Magoosh was great for restudying. I needed to improve on quant for Engineering schools, and thanks to Flashcards, I improved on quant and verbal. I watched every video, did as many practice problems as possible, and all practice tests. I thought I could study with just the official ETS guides, but Magoosh showed me the critical tricks. I'm very satisfied with the improvements, and

The video tutorials outlining strategies in math REALLY helped. Even the RC strategies were amazing. I think I will never forget the term "verbiage" thanks to Chris now.

You really helped me in the math part! The magoosh questions were very challenging, at times, but really taught me various new techniques that are not in other GRE-study stuff! You especially improved my ability to solve counting and integer property problems - Mike really does an awesome job explaining these questions and developing "recipes" on how to solve them in general! However, I also liked the general magoosh training videos on other stuff - all of this also really helped me. You guys are the best!

Helped me familiarize myself the kinds of problems the GRE would ask me to solve and that's half the battle. In particular, this site is wonderful for reviewing math.

Magoosh was incredibly helpful for relearning GRE math concepts. The math videos were very straightforward and clear, and the explanation videos allowed me to learn from my mistakes.

The GRE flashcards were excellent in preparing me for the Verbal Reasoning section; there were also math tricks I learned through Magoosh that made processing the Math section faster.

Magoosh was really helpful for the verbal section. It prepared me to sieve through the complex constructs used on the passage questions and taught me a lot of vocabulary. The latter has also been very helpful in making me understand articles from major publications without having to consult a dictionary so often.

As a veterinarian, I haven't had to think about the GRE for a while (I last took it in 2004 and the scores above are estimated from concordance tables). I really didn't want to perform worse than I had previously. I was pleasantly surprised by Magoosh. Even though I didn't have a ton of time in my residency and grad program, I actually improved on my previous scores!
