331

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 verbal lessons in Magoosh trained me to approach reading comprehension problems in a different way, boosting my score way more than I thought it would. The math lessons helped me brush up on math concepts, and taught me elegant ways to approach problems so I don't get too reliant on punching numbers in the calculator. Unfortunately, my score in math was not what I had hoped; my only regret is that I didn't start reviewing earlier!

I was already very solid on verbal but hadn't done any math whatsoever in about six years by the time I started studying for the GRE, as all of my time in University was spent in the Humanities. Magoosh's study plans and math lessons helped me to essentially re-learn all of the math I had learned in high school, as well as a few higher-level concepts, to make up for that gap. More importantly the quick tricks for solving math problems without complex calculations and identifying mathematical patterns were very helpful for tackling the GRE math sections within the time limits - if I'd just sat down with some math textbooks I could've learned how to do any given GRE problem, but I would have taken way too much time to get through a full Quant section in 35 minutes.

Magoosh verbal 1000 words did come in the passages and sentences which help me in understanding the context of the passages and sentences. This assist lot in selecting the correct words and answer

Magoosh helped me get used to the question types I would see on the GRE, and helped me identify vocabulary and math concepts that would show up. I felt like the quant skills necessary to do well on the Magoosh problems prepared me well for the actual test.

Overall, although it has its kinks, Magoosh effectively prepared me for the test for the right price, and I am greatly appreciative of the service. Thanks!!

Videos were really helpful especially for math that I haven't seen in a while. The ability to take a practice test that simulated the real test/generate custom practice. The pure number of practice questions was great!

The math practice was extremely helpful in re-teaching important concepts for the test. The practice tests and format were also helpful in getting a good idea of what to expect.

It provided a comprehensive question bank and offered lucid explanations. I could customise practice questions to address my weaknesses. The phone apps were also a great resource.

Videos were superb. I watched all of the tutorial videos but did not have enough time to solve most of the questions.
They taught me how to think about the questions and to solve in as little time as possible (particularly the estimation questions) . I solved the English questions with Chris' voice doing the reasoning in my mind :P.
Thanks to the entire Magoosh Team!

The practice problems were much more challenging than anything else I came across in Kaplan or Barron's GRE prep books, so when I took the actual test it felt really easy! The video lessons are very helpful, especially for certain tips and tricks for math. It was great to be able to choose exactly what type of math or verbal question to practice instead of having to do an entire practice section.

Explaining the math, I watched all your lessons and there is so much content that you, at least in Sweden, never do in school that is essential for doing well.. even if the official GRE book gives the very basics you have to be a mathematical genius to be able to infer all the implications from it.
