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 lessons very extremely concise and relevant to whatever questions appear on the GRE, so I did not waste time on studying anything that was extraneous.
The online practice questions in conjunction with the study schedule were imperative to my score increase.
Thank You to the Magoosh Team!

First time I went to do the math part I did not have a lot of practice with GRE type problems. I pretty much studied the materials and did some questions. Although I did review a lot of concepts on Magoosh, I think it helped me the best by practicing similar questions to the test.

Clear, concise and relevant videos.
And an excellent and, more importantly, relevant question bank.
Nifty features such as time per question, explanation for all questions, faqs really helped a lot.

I think it helps a lot with my RC, especially when someone can explain the answer that I do not understand.

The video lectures were great to brush up on the concepts. But, the best part was the question bank with detailed video and text explanations for each. These went a long way in helping me achieve the score I had always dreamed of.

Magoosh was incredibly effective in preparing me for the material that I needed to know for the exam! Each tutorial was helpful and I felt far more prepared for the exam because of Magoosh.

Magoosh helped me revise for the math section very quickly (I studied intensively for a week). I liked the practice questions, I liked the video explanations for the questions, I liked the score estimations.

You guys are amazing! Chris made the verbal section so easy and clear for an international student, and the math videos are helpful as well! I've already referred Magoosh to my friends, many times, in fact. And the student help service replies promptly. You made my GRE prep full of enjoy.

Verbal: Benefited most from the "come up with your own answer" tip. The vocab app was awesome, and my reading comprehension really benefited from reading The Economist and the NYT. Will continue that habit into the future.
Math: Really comprehensive videos. Not much to say, other than great job.
AWA tips were generally helpful, but I improved most by actually writing.

Practicing hard problems made the exam questions seem easier. Going over the fundamentals in the videos was key. Timing was a big issue for me, so setting the time for practice problems to be shorter than the time given on the actual exam helped with facing.

I wanted to study for the GRE myself, and came across Magoosh. The video lessons and video explanations for every question were insanely helpful and the creators of Magoosh know the test incredibly well. I am happy to say I got the score I was aiming for and will not need to take the GRE again!

It helped me get an accurate feel for what taking the test on a computer would be like. Although my math score may not reflect it, I did find the math videos to be extremely helpful. If I had purchased Magoosh a bit earlier in the study process, I suspect that I might have been able to improve my math score.

Magoosh helped me a lot with my verbal reasoning. English isn't my native language. My performance was atrocious in the beginning of my preparation, when I was going through the ETS verbal preparation guide. Later on I followed Magoosh only and seems like it worked pretty well. Perhaps 158 on verbal isn't much, but without Magoosh, I don't think I would have crossed the 150 barrier! Plus, the quant part was fun as well. Overall, I truly am grateful to the Magoosh team. Best of luck to you guys.

The similarity of the questions (and sheer number of them) were very helpful. I watched every video for each of my incorrect answers until I knew how to solve every quant problem in Magoosh's bank. On test day, I felt 100% prepared.

The last time I took GRE was in 2008 so I really needed to review all the concepts tested on the exam. After reading good reviews I chose Magoosh. I only focused on the Math part as my vocabulary has always been pretty strong so I didn't need to study for English. I really enjoyed Math videos by Mike. He is an excellent teacher. The best thing about him is that he not only focuses on teaching concepts but also on teaching the correct way to think. Also, the Math practice questions are of great quality and should come in handy to those who are targeting the perfect Math score. Video explanations are excellent. I watched explanation videos even if I easily solved a problem correctly as it sometimes led me to learn an alternate way to think. Magoosh along with Manhattan books(including the 5lb book) and ETS prep books is all anyone needs to ace the Math part of the exam.

Magoosh helped me feel so much more comfortable in math by breaking down concepts and providing helpful shortcuts and strategies. My math score improved so much since the first practice test I took, and I'm really glad I used Magoosh as part of my study material because it helped make the whole study process less daunting.
