You, Our Next Thriving Student?

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.

Every week for 8 weeks before the test I did 5-6 sessions of math practice mimicking test conditions (20 questions in 35 minutes). That dramatically improved my math score on practice tests and helped me get used to timing, making smart guesses and finding shortcuts. I also did more relaxed practice sessions where I'd try problems and then watch the video explanations (and the attached lessons if I didn't get the concept). I did every math problem on Magoosh at least twice. I also watched the verbal strategies and used the flash card app to practice vocab. As you can see from my scores the hard work paid off. Before this round of studying my score would have been a liability, now it's an asset.

I took 6 weeks to do the 1 month study guide and I couldn't be more pleased with how much I was able to absorb in so little time. Magoosh helped me stay on track and organized, which helped me reach my end goal.

It helped prepare me for what was on the test, which made me have more confidence in my answers. On the day of the test I wasn't nervous because I was so familiar with the format and types of questions.

When I took the GRE for the first time, I studied with one of Magoosh's main competitors (Kaplan). Unfortunately, I had never heard of Magoosh before. The other program was acceptable for learning how to take the GRE, but it relied on facile test taking strategies and practice problems, which restrained me from accessing the top threshold of Verbal Reasoning and Analytical Writing scores that I desired (while still trying to earn a solid score in Quantitative Reasoning, of course). Magoosh, on the other hand, is a program designed to help students who already have good scores earn excellent scores. It is impressive that Magoosh recommends outside content to supplement its own program, including Manhattan Prep (another challenging learning suite that does pair well with Magoosh). Yet Magoosh's own program is both rigorous and complete, so it does not normally require such supplementation. Free of most of the sales gimmicks that are prevalent elsewhere in the test prep industry, Magoosh presents what a GRE test taker needs to learn in a straightforward fashion but at an elite level.

During the Verbal Reasoning portion of the test, on which I earned a true perfect score (170/170), I could actually hear Chris Lele's voice in my head (creepy? perhaps) guiding me through the toughest questions – the questions that allowed me to earn that perfect score. By the time that I took the actual test, I had done so many "Very Hard" (i.e. absurdly hard) Verbal Reasoning practice questions with Chris Lele's guidance that his method of explaining their subtleties had become engrained in me. Because of this alone, I'd almost be willing to call Magoosh's GRE preparatory program "priceless."

Thank you, Chris Lele, for being that (very helpful!) voice stuck in my head. And thank you, Magoosh, for helping me achieve my goals.

Great for studying verbal and vocab.

Helped me a lot identify important vocabulary

It taught me different strategies to tackle Verbal section. It also helped me in refreshing my knowledge of Math.

Videos + a ton of practice problems = amazing!!

Vocab cards

Magoosh's extensive collection of problems and instructional videos gave me excellent practice before the test! I did every single verbal problem, and the results of my preparation using Magoosh is reflected in my score! The study plans were a great way for me to stay on track, and I am looking forward to (hopefully!) getting into my top-choice humanities school. Thanks Magoosh--this was a phenomenal program.

The practise questions helped me get accustomed to the types of questions in the real test. Specifically the practise helped me improve my comprehension skills. I also received quite a lot of help in vocabulary (both flashcards and questions).

Flexible program, and provided strong practice materials for the test. I think the concept reviews, especially for the quant section were very thorough.

Awesome practice questions will helpful explanations made studying as easy as possible. Plus the questions were harder than the actual test which is always a good thing.

Apart from the usual services provided by most other GRE coaching institutes, the most commendable feature of Magoosh is the quality of their question. I believe that this factor is cardinal in GRE prep. This is because, unlike many other entrance exams, GRE test papers are not published and a very limited amount of questions are available for reference from ETS directly. Thus, to frame questions that are equivalent in difficulty and authenticity to actual GRE is a task that requires a good deal of expertise and precision. I can confidently say that Magoosh questions, both Quants and Verbal are equivalent to actual GRE if not slightly tougher. This is something I could not find in the reading materials and practice tests of other sources.
Apart from this, the Magoosh team has really been very responsive and helpful both; offline and online (I was enrolled in the classroom teaching program too).

Video were nice. Flashcards definitely helped.

Magoosh was really the only resource I used besides the official gre prep book and practice tests. The math practice and explanation videos were really critical for me. A month ago I was expecting a 153 and ended with 163.

The quantity of questions and immediate video and text based explanation for every single question were extremely helpful. These helped me understand some of the tricks commonly employed by the test writers, and commit to memory concepts which allow problem maths simplifications.

The math practice session quickly helped bring up my score

Magoosh helped me a lot! From getting to know about the exam to deciding universities. Magoosh has made my life easier. :)

The Magoosh test prep is one of the best, if not the best, online tools that help students across the world perform exceptionally well in their GRE. When I started off preparing for the GRE, I had a high target but my knowledge was found lacking in certain areas and Magoosh really helped me get a hold of them. I benefitted a lot from both, the Verbal and Quant materials & resources. The level of difficulty on Magoosh is the same as that of GRE which really helps you gauge the amount of effort you need to put in to get a good score. The support team were fantastic and were there to help me whenever I had any queries. To anyone planning to give the GRE, I would urge you to take the Magoosh subscription.
Heartfelt thanks to the whole Magoosh team!

The tests and practice questions certainly helped.

I loved the practise questions. Solved a bunch of them. And the email support was fantastic!

The various videos and the large range of questions were really useful to get to know the GRE and its requirements!

Magoosh has an excellent choice of vocabulary which covers the core words I encountered in the test. The practice questions and explanation are great too.
