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.

Math was pretty easy already, but Magoosh showed me how to tackle all the English questions. It showed me how to answer them, and the ample variety in the practice questions really proved beneficial in the long run

Before I used Magoosh, I was scoring a 150 on the verbal section during my practice tests and if I got lucky, maybe a 152. This tool really helped me with my verbal score and helped me cross my goal of 320 on the actual GRE. I was able to approach the reading comprehension passages with more confidence and clarity. I loved the techniques on eliminating wrong answer choices so even if I didn't know the right answer, I was able to eliminate the wrong ones. The Magoosh flashcard app was also incredibly useful and handy to keep up with the vocabulary. Thank you so much for such a wonderful resource :)

Magoosh helped me much in verbal part, especially to help me familiarize with test format and how to do readings. The Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence are also quite close to what I encountered during real exams.

I found the ability to do targeted practice on my weak areas through Magoosh extremely helpful. I would identify a weak area and then do a quiz on just that topic then review all the answers for the video of the answer and then the video of topics I didn't understand. It was particularly helpful how the topic videos were on relatively narrow topics so you could review the specific topic that you didn't understand rather than waste time reviewing topics you already understand.
It was also very helpful to have it all online as I could do some work at home when I had some downtime or got into work early which meant I was able to maximise my preparation time.
I also asked several questions to the Magoosh experts and they responded very quickly and were extremely helpful.
Given this was only 99, it was excellent value for money.

Magoosh helped me review GRE content and become familiar with the test format. I am especially thankful for the math tutorials, as I haven't taken a proper math class in five years!

Magoosh definitely boosted my confidence going into the math sections of the test. I was busy with school and didn't study nearly enough, so the lower verbal score I got was on me. However, I was surprised how helpful the math lessons were even though I only studied a fraction of them. I'm sure that if I put in a week of solid study with Magoosh before the test I could have achieved 167+ in both categories.

Magoosh helped so much! If I hadn't found Magoosh I wouldn't have done nearly as well. I just wish I had started studying sooner! The lessons were amazing and I loved doing practice problems on Magoosh because of the explanation videos. Magoosh was a life-saver, thank you so much!!!

I really appreciated the detailed answers on the math sections. I also found that the difficulty of the math questions provided by Magoosh really prepared me for the test, which seemed a lot easier.

Magoosh was great for helping me review all the Quantitative topics in detail. The difficulty of practice questions was also very helpful (although at times frustrating), and helped me pick up on many common GRE tricks. By the time test day rolled around I wasn't phased by more than a couple of questions on my 3 Quant sections. I also found the vocab apps very helpful for improving my Verbal score. I'm pretty sure I got several points from those apps alone.

Really great detailed math lessons, the question explanations were good too. It was also helpful that most of the math problems were more complex than the actual test.

I used the 90 day prep course to prepare. I really appreciated having a structured plan to follow. Did I always adhere to it? No. But it was really nice to have tasks and tactics outlined for me so that I wasn't floundering around about "how" to study for the GRE. The videos were very, very helpful as well!

I really had no idea how to study for the GRE or how to distribute my time. Magoosh's study plan and materials really helped me structure my studying and allowed me to see how I was progressing. The whole program was also very user friendly and adaptable. It was definitely worth the money!
