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.

It was pretty much my only study source for the test and I did better than I expected. I took an intro statistics course last year, but other than that I haven't taken a math course in 16 years, so the fact that I scored a 162 is nothing short of amazing to me. I certainly could not have done it without Magoosh.

Magoosh helped me to kickstart my preparations. I was able to review math sections in a week accompanied with few practice questions, indicating my mastery. Moreover, it was easy to learn and practice new gained skills with the plethora of verbal questions.

The practice problems are great. I find that they're a bit more challenging than the ones on the actual GRE, which made the test the day of feel really manageable, and like I was really well prepared.

The math section was very helpful. The verbal section gave me some very helpful tips that I believe boosted my verbal score.

Magoosh provides really elaborate video lessons and hundreds of practice questions with detailed video explanations which covers pretty much everything that is asked on the test. The Flaschcards App and the Vocabulary Builder App were quite handy as well to quickly learn GRE words. Also, Magoosh replied to all my queries promptly (usually within 24 hours).

Magoosh was basically my sole source of study material (I also bought the "Official Guide to the GRE," but only for the practice tests--I didn't actually use any of the techniques or read the book at all). I was on a tight timeline--I only had a few weeks to take the test--and Magoosh was definitely the way to go. What's more, I actually enjoyed the idea of taking a standardized test for the first time in my life. Nicely done Magoosh... :)

It helped me identify my weaknesses and gave me the tools to improve upon them. I went from being afraid of not getting into bad schools to having the opportunity to get into the best schools in my field like Harvard and UCLA. I never dreamed I could get the score I got, and I owe it all to Magoosh!

Chris' verbal section videos were excellent and really helped me to understand the ins and out of the GRE verbal section. The practice questions were, for the most part, a good representation of the real test questions. Also the practice tests accurately simulated my actual test experience which was helpful.
