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 sheer number of questions that I got to practice with on Magoosh was incredibly helpful, but the video tutorials and explanations for the Math section was single-handedly what allowed me to get my math score that high.

Yes, it helped me structure my preparation. The analysis part is especially good. I made good use of the 'review' tab. The depth it offers is unparalleled. Speaking for myself, I work full time, had just a little over one month to prepare for GRE; if not for Magoosh, I don't think my GRE preparations could have been even half as good.

Magoosh helped me become familiar with the kinds of problems that would appear on the test, gave me many opportunities to practice, and it provided very helpful video explanations. I also used the Vocab app, which really helped.

Magoosh's study guide for Advanced Students really helped me keep to a plan. The diverse study materials, that included aids outside of Magoosh, really helped out too.

There were an abundance of questions--varying in type and level of difficulty. I also appreciated the vocabulary builder/flashcards sections--that they were divided from beginner to advanced as well as in terms of how common they were. The lessons were also extremely helpful, particularly the math lessons that explained how to carry out certain types of problems.

1. The practice questions with detailed explanations are very helpful.
2. Magoosh does a great job seamlessly integrating concepts by thinking of "the little things". For example. in every question explanation lesson videos are linked for the topic covered. After watching the lesson there is an option to return to your current question, and continue on form where you left off.

Tips for the GRE, structured study plan, practice tests, route to study on the go using phone apps, community to discuss the GRE and our shared experience (magoosh super fans)
Magoosh was essentially the only avenue I used to study for the GRE and it was extremely helpful, I don't imagine myself using anything else. Great quality for the price.

I watched all of the verbal and math videos, and I did all of the practice questions. I found it very helpful to brush up on math and understand the format of the test.

This is my first and most likely the last time taking the GRE, since I did well enough. I find the video tutorials very useful, especially for strategies to improve verbal score and writing. I also like the vocabulary flashcard app; it seems that often, synonyms are deliberately put into the same deck, and I think the common word decks do contain common words that show up on the real test. Finally, I would recommend Magoosh to my classmates because the practice problems are harder than the real test but still similar enough to get my well prepared. I took a mock test on Magoosh, and didn't do as well as I would like. But then I took another mock test on Powerprep and then the real test, I found them easier than expected so I did better than expected.

I found Magoosh to be great for improving quant scores and clarifying key concepts . Practice tests are great confidence boosters, and help to identify flaws in one's preparation. Videos associated with text completion questions also help a lot.
