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 thoroughly explained the GRE and all of the concepts that were present on the exam. The study plans, practice questions/exams, and other materials like the vocabulary flashcards and vocabulary builder were crucial in preparing me to sit for the exam. Approaching the GRE can be a daunting task for many, but Magoosh is a wonderful asset to have when one decides to sit for the exam. I was able to identify weaknesses that I had and rectify them and was better prepared overall to sit for the exam. Magoosh is a must-have study tool when studying for the GRE. It was for me. Thanks to all at Magoosh!

I found the Magoosh videos quite helpful for a quick review of the topics tested on the GRE. Given that the test places emphasis on strategy, all the videos on strategy and the blog posts were really helpful. In addition, the math question sets were a good approximation of the questions on the test. I like setting my own pace for preparation, Magoosh was a great aid.

Magoosh was helpful to me in so many ways! Before magoosh I was thoroughly confused regarding how to approach GRE prep.The excellent lesson videos in math and verbal along with amazing practice questions which are much tougher than the actual exam....along with excellent detailed solution videos and online support to answer all my queries within at most one day were all instrumental towards my success! I highly recommend magoosh for anyone who wants to score high on the gre! go for it!

I found Magoosh to be an incredible asset. It made studying much more streamlined. It helped me find my weaknesses and the tutorials helped me to correct them. The video explanations for every question enabled me to learn from each wrong answer, and the variety of activities allowed me to study in numerous situations.

For the programs I'm applying to I needed a stellar verbal score and I needed to re learn a lot of math. Magoosh really delivered. I was consistently tripped up on reading comprehension before watching the magoosh videos, and I felt so confident in my reading comp on the test. Additionally, I learned tools to figure out an answer even without knowing every single vocab word. Thanks to Magoosh I don't need to retake and spend another $200.

Magoosh really helped me a lot. From low 150s to taking my score to 163, is all down to Magoosh. The practice tests are comprehensive, and really are representative of what one might come on the actual GRE. Excellent explanation of all topics. Thanks a lot Chris, Mike and all the test prep experts!

Magoosh was an invaluable resource for me throughout my studying process. I especially love the 'review' feature that allowed me to identify and then target the areas of the test that I was weakest on.

Magoosh provided me with the material that i exactly required. It was excellent. I have just studied almost all the notable books available at the market for the GRE. Magoosh was very much better than nearly all of them and it helped me the most by providing me with questions that mostly resembled the actual test.

Immensely! Videos by Mr. Chris Lele helped me a lot to understand how to score well in GRE. I improved by 9 marks on Verbals and I would give all credits to him for the same. Coming to Quants section, I think the practice questions are really well designed. It helped me avoid committing silly errors, it also improved my overall problem-solving skills, hence the 170 in Quants!

Magoosh's well-designed custom practice questions and tests were of great help, especially in the last 15 days before the test. The lectures and practice questions in quant proved to be the deciding factor in improving my quant score by 6 points. The entire course is totally worth giving a shot if one intends to get a good score.

Magoosh had a wealth of practice problems and and explanations for each problem that allows you to learn from your mistakes. The thing I liked the most about Magoosh was that it provided structured studying through its study guides while also allowing me to study on my own time (I worked full time). I have taken the GRE before (using Kaplan classes for preparation) and it paled in comparison to the preparation I received using Magoosh--not to mention the Kaplan classes were thousands of dollars. I also really like that Magoosh recommends using a multitude of resources including books from different companies and programs. This really illustrated to me that Magoosh had done extensive research and truly had the student's best interest at heart.

Magoosh gave me hours and hours of extremely useful quantitative lesson content that I could watch, apply, and synthesize into useful notes. Being able to make those notes myself, study them, and complete over 500 quantitative practice problems was extremely useful, far more useful than the 2013 Manhattan books that I inherited from my sister. Magoosh is fantastic!

The product is highly flexible for targeting weak points I identified in the early stages of studying. In my case, I needed extra work on math and the ability to choose questions from specific topics like geometry made studying efficient.

Magoosh's quality in terms of the convoluted nature of sentence structures in GRE helped me a lot. As a non-native English speaker it was of paramount importance for me to score well in verbal section. Magoosh helped me realise that goal. In the first power prep i scored 298. After completing magoosh's material it skyrocketed to 334 in the second power prep. Finally i was able to bag 329 in actual GRE. Many thanks to Magoosh.

I started preparing exactly 14 days before my exam. I only did Magoosh material - the video lectures, the question bank, and the word flashcards mobile app - and that was perfect. I was able to complete all this material in 2 weeks. I didn't even use the official ETS book.
Magoosh is the best resource for anyone, at any level - the videos are very informative and questions mimic the actual test questions. Go for it blindly.

My two cents: 2 weeks is more than enough for GRE with Magoosh. Don't waste your time and energy anywhere else.
