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 helped clarify old misconceptions i had about smaller math concepts/details, and gave easy ways to solve every type of math problem given on the GRE. The verbal fill in the blank videos helped with the overall strategy of how to approach many of the problems. I really liked the essay writing strategy, and used it on my exam as well.

Very helpful for providing all the challenging verbal questions so that I wont panic about the comparatively easier GRE questions; the vocabulary builder and flashcards help a lot as well; also, thanks for accompanying me throughout the whole GRE journey by sending study tips regularly which gave me a lot of mental support and useful guidance in planning my studies.

A streamlined and fixed method of preparation. The online UI is great. It helps gauge performance as well as predicted scores. Moreover the difficulty indicator as well as the relative time indicators are great!.

Preparing for GRE with a job was bit of difficult task especially when you re working for a startup where your work schedules are not defined. In such a situation, Magoosh provided one stop solution for all my queries and preparation. I could make best use of my time and questions were diverse enough to cover the almost anything and everything that can be asked in GRE

1. I owe my quant score to Magoosh. The preparation videos and practice questions were enough to get me to the perfect score.
2. Chris's blogs on AWA were really helpful especially the one where he categorizes the 'Analyse an Issue' task in 7 buckets.
3. Vocab Wednesday was another useful resource, I went through about 150 of those and that really helped me in the Sentence Equivalence and Text completion questions.
4. Grading the vast resources (books and online) in one of the blogs was another highlight. That really helped me to filter out irrelevant/low grade resources.

The math lessons really helped refresh me in a lot of the topics that I learned in high school but had not touched since then. I liked that the lessons didn't simply provide me with a list of formulas to memorize, but they went over how to approach the problem from a conceptual understanding.

It helped me review math and verbal concepts as it has been quite some time since I used those. It also helped with proper pacing and in giving vast examples of GRE questions. Most of the question in the actual GRE (Math Section) were actually just like what I answered in the practice tests, only with different values!

I have a job as a full-time teacher. I do a ton of advocacy work on the side also. My time is extremely limited, and since grad school is likely in my future, I decided to buckle down and study for exactly 3 weeks for the GRE. Magoosh helped me achieve the highest score possible in this limited amount of time. I would not hesitate to recommend Magoosh to any of my friends.
