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 difficulty of the math practice questions is very high on magoosh, which definitely benefited me come test day because I wasn't overwhelmed with the difficulty.

First of all, Magoosh helped reduce my anxiety about taking the GRE. I appreciated the videos informing you about the structure of the test, what to expect, etc... The dashboard helped me gauge my progress with my ratio of right/wrong answers. The customized practice helped immensely as it targeted specific areas I need to improve on. The difficulty of the practice problems were exactly what I needed. In conjunction with the 5lb book of problems, Magoosh helped to solidify key concepts, as well as teaching them in a progressive manner from basic to advanced.

I relied entirely on Magoosh for the exam. And it turned out well in the end. The pool of questions you guys have here is more than enough to get a really good score.

I had taken the GRE before without much preparation and my score reflected that. I decided to take it again, but this time I signed up for Magoosh because they have study plans and good videos. Magoosh helped me focus my studies and organize myself so that I could study a little bit each day. I was much more confident going into the second test and all the hard work paid off because I improved my overall score by 16 points and my writing score by .5 points. I am so thankful to Magoosh for helping me improve and now I don't have to worry about the GRE anymore!

It helped with everything basically since I've never taken the GREs before and have no idea how the test was like at all. Magoosh helped me to understand the whole test and gave really clear explanations on each sample question

The questions I practiced with magoosh were quite similer to the questions on the actual GRE test. The magoosh Flashcards app is great for learning new words.

Magoosh helped me in every aspect of preparing for the GRE. The free GRE vocab cards app is awesome and very helpful, math and verbal lessons are very structured and easy to understand. Plus you have very useful comments for every example.
More importantly, Magoosh built up my confidence and somehow managed to make the whole experience fun. Moreover, when I was taking the actual test and started to panic a little bit, I imagined that I was just taking a practice test on Magoosh. It felt very comforting and helped me to calm down. So thank you so, so much!!

I was able to watch videos on specific topics I wanted to learn, and the questions in the actual format of the exam helped. Also, the study plan was a good motivator, as it set daily goals for me.
