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.

Short cuts. The math short cuts were a life saver and cut my average question-answering time in half.

I actually didn't use it very much, as I kept postponing taking the exam and kept not studying. I decided to write the exam without studying to at least get a preliminary score. Magoosh seems like a great service and were I to retake the GRE, I would definitely pay to use it again (and this time I'd actually use it!)

Magoosh led me to the right tools and resources, that pushed me to truly understand the concepts I was studying. This made prepping for the GRE quite enjoyable, and also brought great results. Magoosh's help service is truly exceptional. Every time I reached out, I received better help than I would have if I had a private tutor.

Magoosh Verbal is very close to the real GRE test, and the explanations are inspiring. Finally, my reading speed got drastically improved, and I can get deeper comprehension of these articles. Without Magoosh, I cannot get 157 in verbal section. Questions in Math are also good, much harder than those in the real test. Doing some questions in Magoosh Math gerentees 170 score in GRE Math.

I thought it was pretty great. The lessons were well taught. The math tricks were useful. I certainly would not have done as well as I did without this app. I work full time at a law firm and wouldn't have time to do a full in-person class, even if I wanted to. This provided an excellent way to study for the GRE at my own pace and in a way that could strengthen where I was weakest.

The study guides helped keep me on track and made me feel like I was making progress as well as suggesting a lot of other good study materials. The math videos were really helpful for reviewing methods, some of which I hadn't seen or used since 9th grade algebra.

You really help me a lot. There are mainly 3 reasons. Firstly the questions from the Magoosh is amazingly great, its difficulty is higher than the actual GRE test, and I practiced a lot with Magoosh , then when I was doing the actual exam , I found that the actual GRE test is not so tricky compared with the questions from Magoosh , I felt more confident; Secondly the magoosh's GRE Vocabulary flashcards helps me ,too . Sadly at that time I did not remember all words , I believe if I remember all I can do better in that exam. Finally thanks to your guys to encourage me a lot , although it's been 5 months since that GRE exam , I remembered that when the exam came nearly you often encouraged me ,without your guys' encouragement , I cannot finish the exam well. THANKS !!!!

The practice sets were the most helpful part. Doing sets of 20 questions with the same time limits I would have on the test helped me improve my work tremendously. It was also helpful to have the explanation videos and lessons linked right to the questions I got wrong. Extremely helpful. I also liked the vocabulary app that you have for iPhone. I wouldn't have received my scores were it not for Magoosh.

Magoosh is the only material I use to prepare for the test! I not only finished all the questions in verbal and maths section but also watched most video lessons. I have magoosh word builder app in my cell phone so I could improve my vocabulary level wherever I am! Also magoosh team helped me through email whenever I had a question!

Magoosh is perfect because I can take control of the time and know how I performed compared with the average level. The exercise, hard as it is, makes me more confident when taking an exam.

Magoosh was fantastic. I will admit, I was a little skeptical- why would this sketchy online GRE course with a heavily self-promoting blog and a weird name be any good. But I heard some good things, and the price was good, so I was willing to give it a shot. I didn't want to pay upwards of $1000 for a Manhattan course, and was willing to take a risk. And I couldn't be happier with how things turned out. The lessons were spot on, and broke out the key components very well. The practice questions and exams were accessible and good. And the explanations for each question helped a lot, since practice is such a big component of a good score. I think that I had the same learning/prep experience, if not better, than all of my friends that paid for Manhattan.
