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.

The videos about the verbal section, the questions, and the explanations of the questions were really excelent and helped me a lot in getting familiar with the style of the actual GRE.

Magoosh was by far the most convenient option studying for the GRE. I'm on the go a lot, so not having to carry a bunch of books was a big positive. The video explanations on every problem were a huge asset. Furthermore, the ability to customize my practice sessions really helped me focus in on my problem areas. I was startled by the high up front cost of subscribing, but I have little doubt that much of my success can be attributed to using this service. It's awesome.

Magoosh was of great help during my GRE prep! I increased my score by 11 points in about 15 days of study.
The Quantitative practice section was diverse and covered almost all of the concepts on the actual GRE.
The Verbal practice section was much more challenging than on the actual GRE. As a result, I scored much more on the GRE Verbal than on the Magoosh practice tests.
Also, please send me a Magoosh T-shirt :)

Helped me familiarize myself with math topics - I wanted a bigger boost in math than I saw but I chalk it up to just not performing so well on test day. I went from not knowing how to approach problems to having some idea where to start at least, if the problem was very difficult. I think timing was still an issue for me in that I could get to the right answer given enough time, and had I studied maybe a month or two more I probably would have gotten an amazing score. This isn't something wrong with magoosh.

The practice problems and exams were of a very similar nature to the actual exam problems, so having that experience dealing with each type of problem made it much easier on test day.

Magoosh was amazing. The questions were so similar to what was on the test, and the tips and tricks to succeed were amazing. The one on one help through emails was also beyond great. It was worth every penny.

Magoosh is an amazing product. Inatarted studying late, but I put in the time with Magoosh and did much better than I even hoped! The practice tests were really important, and the lesson videos were amazing, especially the "related videos" that explained General principles behind each question on the practice test, and of course the explanation videos of the questions themselves.

I was also very impressed by the responsiveness of the Magoosh team. I got several emails reharsong questions and feedback I left on the site. Plus helpful tips on the days leading up to the rest.

Magoosh helped me a lot with learning Math tips and tricks, things that make you do questions quickly rather than relying on the longer route. All the math concept videos are really good as well. I remember that just on my GRE day, I happened to read this Magoosh Tips and Tricks article, and I could answer at least 2-3 (or maybe more) of my questions correctly just because of that. So, thank you!

Your lectures in both Math and Verbal helped me a lot. I have scored 324(168-M,156-V). When i gave my exam last year my score is 315, i read about Magoosh Online and i thought i will give a shot. It worked for me, though i never scored more than 12 in Verbal per section in quiz mode but when i am writing GRE exam i didnt felt those SE,TC blanks not at all difficult. As per RC i read newspaper many articles to improve my pace in reading along with your tips and it all worked out. Math logical problems are awesome i have solved some other books also but i never fell for many traps, but in these math i lost many question at one point i thought i am not ready despite being good at math. Also whenever i have questions you guys replied with in a day. So thanks for all the help you guys gave me.

It helped me to be able to solve questions fluently. I basically solved all the practice questions and gave two practice test. It has many more things to offer but i was not able to use them. The best part was it gave me a free extension for 1 and half months.
