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 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.

Got me from nothing to half way decent scores. I have not been in school for many years and I found the test questions invaluable. The teaching videos and flashcards were also very helpful.

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.

I used the flashcards a lot and they're very helpful. Another significant of my preparation was the verbal practices Magoosh provided. Especially practicing in quiz mode every time helped me familiarize myself with the pace and feel of the test, which helped calm me down on the test day indeed.

I think the number of available problems helped in focusing and getting used to the types of problems asked by increased exposure. I really liked that I could choose to do problems by levels of difficulty and by repeating incorrect problems.

Taking the actual GRE, I felt like many problems looked more like Magoosh problems than other resources.

I also liked liked that the tests available had an extra experimental section just like the real GRE, which makes a LOT of different in practicing not getting tired at the last math section.

I was surprised at how helpful the verbal practice questions were when it came time to take the actual GRE. The difficulty of the Magoosh questions truly came in handy, and all of the verbal questions were a breeze because of it. Although it was not necessarily reflected in my score, I also felt that Mike (the man who teaches in the math videos) was able to really break down the math concepts in a way that actually made sense to me. Much better than any of the prep books I had tried using
