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 made it really easy to study with all of the practice problems. It was definitely easy to understand the problems I got wrong with the video explanations.

I used Magoosh everyday when I was preparing my GRE test. The verbal questions has a very similar logic as the one ETS has. Though the readings and triple blanks were little bit harder than actual test, they really helped me improve my score.

Magoosh delineates the logic behind each question types, and make learning efficient and effective by setting up well deliberated monthly plan. Basically Magoosh prepared me from knowing nothing to scoring 328 in 50 days, which is totally worth the payment.

Magoosh helped me in all aspects of the test - from pacing to strategy to the endurance necessary to stay focused in a 4+ hour test. In the verbal section, Magoosh really helped me understand the logic of the test writers and what they were looking for in test answers. In the math section, I went from seriously doubting whether it was even possible to complete all the problems in a section to learning how to instantaneously recall math tricks and strategies to tackle difficult problems with time to spare.

The best part of the Magoosh is the freedom of choice that I could review any video lesson whenever needed. The thinking logic behind the questions is very important. After I kept repeating the lessons, I could imitate the thinking logic and imagine the explanation voice while taking the exam.
Although I didn't really follow the 3-month study plan everyday and also might have had a better Verbal Score. It was still a satisfied GRE score, thanks to Magoosh.

Magoosh provided a fairly easy to use database of words and definitions along with plenty of practice questions. Showing the average time for the problems themselves was a great way to learn to pace yourself and the video explanations and pop up definitions during practice were extremely helpful.

An abundance of practice questions was the best part for me about Magoosh. I loved the immediate explanation after answering a question to know what I did wrong. I felt like the questions on the GRE were exactly what I expected based on my magoosh study. Tips for the writing section were very helpful as well.

Magoosh gave an excellent overview of the subjects touched on in the exam, as well as great strategy tips and study questions. I particularly appreciated how each question was explained, and also how Magoosh recommends what other study guides can be helpful (or not).

The math guides were very comprehensive and provided refreshers that connected material from unit to unit; it all helped me become much more comfortable with the material. Plus the list of commonly used vocabulary (as well as the in-depth videos on Reading Comprehension) definitely improved my verbal score! Overall exceptional experience at every turn - would highly recommend to anyone taking the GREs!

I was attempting GRE, 10 years after my last education degree and was quite intimidated by the whole process. Magoosh helped me understand not only the format of the exam but also provided the tricks and tips that I had long forgotten. The questions and their level of difficulty was quite similar to what I experienced in the real GRE.
With so many half-hearted efforts at providing GRE preparation guides to students spreading online, Magoosh was a very pleasant surprise and the website showed that it was sincere and serious about guiding prospective GRE candidates.
Thanks a lot Magoosh!

I haven't used the math practice before I take the exam, but I find verbal practice is especially helpful. Since I will re-take the exam soon and plant to do more practice in Magoosh, I will give a more comprehensive review then.

Magoosh was the best way to prepare for the GRE. I studied for one month with Magoosh and for it to be the first time I actually took the GRE I am very happy with my scores. I plan on taking it one more time to improve my quant. Love Magoosh helped me incredibly.
