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 and practice questions helped me tackle the verbal section. The lessons, especially, were highly informative. The flashcards app was also quite helpful.

The verbal practice is brilliant. It is a little bit harder than the actual exam, thus it make me relaxing when facing the actual exam.

Mostly, the overall test taking strategies and the lessons on the writing portion. The practice exams were very helpful as well.

The video explanations were fantastic. It is so helpful to hear someone talk about the problem more so then just looking at a solution. The tricks and tips shared by the video makers were also lifesavers, most other prep services don't cover the strategies overall or for specific types of problems the way Magoosh does.

Magoosh was extremely helpful in my preparation for the GRE. The practice questions were very accurate and helped in preparing for the actual test questions. For anyone taking the GRE, I strongly suggest that you pay for the premium membership. They provide excellent service at a fraction of what other people charge for it. Chris' videos in particular were very informative and lively. As with any test, time management is crucial and Chris' videos assisted me in managing stress and time very efficiently. Keep it up guys!

The practice questions were very similar to the types of questions encountered on the GRE, being able to go through all the different types of questions to get an understanding of how to approach different problems was very useful and the video explanations for each question did a great job not only explaining the answer, but the thought process required to reach it. The vocab app was also very useful in being able to learn new vocab in a quick and intuitive manner. I am convinced that the magoosh service led to my math and verbal scores that I am very pleased with.

Magoosh helped me so much!! I really struggle with math, and when I took my first practice test, I scored in the low 140s. Magoosh greatly assisted me in improving my math skills and confidence, and my score rose over 10 points during my 6 months of study!!!

I'm an international student, so when I started studying I had no idea what material the GRE offers, how difficult it is to get a good score and how to prepare. Watching the Magoosh videos took me through the process of understanding the test, showing me the right materials to study and of course a lot of (very high quality!) practice questions. I also love that Magoosh provides a lot of study materials (apps, a Chrome extension, the blogs and Youtube videos) for free!
