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 questions were a lot harder, so it made the problems on the GRE seem easier. The videos were really helpful for going through every type of problem and how to solve them. Also, having 600 questions for verbal and quantitative gave a lot of practice.

The practice questions that magoosh provides are great. The explanations to these practice questions helped me a lot in tackling various concepts. The lessons are awesome and flash cards are up to the mark. If it were not for Chris and his blogs, I probably wouldn't have improved much on the verbal part.

I appreciate the computer-based practice in the same vein as the real test. Being able to sort and hit the math types of questions that I was most challenged by was wonderfully efficient.

Excellent TC and SE questions. I also worked on some other TC&SE questions, but they were not as similar as Magoosh to GRE real questions. The four levels of difficulty, video explanations, and blogs are very helpful in practice. Besides, staff respond to my questions very quickly and provide answers in details.

Magoosh was extremely helpful in building up my vocab skills and reading comprehension skills. The video lessons are perfect to know everything about solving any question. Also, the question bank is better than any other gre service provider and mimics the actual gre questions very closely.

Magoosh was tremendous. The practice questions were great and Mike McGarry was an incredible teacher. He made everything easy to understand and I feel like I learned more math doing Magoosh than I did in school.

I really enjoyed the specialized videos: they helped me effectively troubleshoot my weakest areas with the 5-15 minute break down of specific skills. I also enojyed being able to adjust what types of questions appeared in my practice session. That customizability is important!

To be honest, i just study for a month before my GRE. Luckily, Magoosh's vocab list is awesome and save my life! I still remember magoosh predicted me getting the range of 141-146 at the beginning of my study. But just within a month of practice, my verbal skills (especially vocab) boost significantly. For math, i do love the detail explanation of each exercise and the video of each topic! Well done magoosh!

I was dreading the quantitative reasoning section of the GRE because, by the time I decided to take the test, it had been over five years since I had any exposure to the math concepts that appear on it. Magoosh was extremely helpful because it presented lessons on these concepts in a way that I found digestible and reassuring. Furthermore, for both the verbal and QR sections of the test, Magoosh taught me about the idiosyncrasies of GRE question types, so that I was able to read between the lines of any given question and effectively navigate the test as a whole.
