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.

Magoosh has excellent videos with practice questions embedded in them. There are also lots of questions similar to what is on the actual GRE. The blogs have very good and relevant information in them. The timer and the average speed of others is great to have while doing questions. In fact, this is vital to effective practicing because time is a critical factor on the GRE.

Magoosh was remarkably on point with the practice tests and the practice questions. The lectures are informative and helpful; notable mention must be made to the lectures on Reading Comprehension and their strategies to attack specific question types. The video explanations at the end of every question is clear and concise...really great job across the board!

Provided a lot of practice questions, excellent, clear, and efficient videos. Was a really great resource in that it was flexible (I could listen to the videos anywhere, any time on my schedule) and pretty thorough. I also appreciated the strategies provided for the writing tasks. Thanks, Magoosh! And thanks for offering your services at a very reasonable price. I will be sure to recommend to anyone I know who is taking the GRE!

I was much more prepared to take the test. Also, had better strategy. Would have liked to score in 159-161 range for Verbal though. Unsure of how I did in Writing, but expect a 4.5 (the same score that I had previously).

Incredibly insightful math lessons, focusing on understanding how to approach problems and strategize. I haven't needed this type of math for 20 years, but I think I understand it better now than I ever did in high school. The verbal lessons taught me some key features of GRE verbal questions. Once I understand what the questions were really asking, I could improve both my speed and accuracy. I also got through the entire vocab app.

Those math videos were great! I would have bombed the math without them. Before I started to study I knew I felt good about verbal, but I was terrified of the math. I hadn't thought about most of those concepts in more than 20 years! Mike's straightforward and intuitive instruction made me realize that I actually LIKE math!

1. All Magoosh questions are of very high quality and are very similar to the actual gre.
2. Chris's and Mike's video lessons were very helpful to fundamentally build the concepts.
3. Lots of Magoosh blogs helped to ossify the strategies.
4. The Magoosh score predictor is eerily accurate.
5. Magoosh lived up to its claim of 8 point increase. In my case it was 9 points increase compared to magoosh first practice test.
6. Magoosh student support team is very efficient. They helped resolve even the smallest of my queries and that too with dispatch.

Magoosh tremendously helped to improve how I approached verbal problems. I was able to improve my verbal from 157 on ETS practise tests to 162 on the actual exam. My math has always been solid, but magoosh really helped me to improve my speed and accuracy. With this I was able to improve my predicated ETS score from 322 to an actual score of 330 with 2 months of magoosh study.
