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.

My verbal was very weak and I had poor vocab. Magoosh helped me stay consistent with study plans.

Loved the videos and the vocabulary flash cards. The study plan helped me prepare effectively. The plethora of practice questions was extremely helpful, especially since every single one has both a video and written explanation.

It was a great umbrella program. It really helped me understand all of the different components of the test to study and paced me very well. I wished I had had 2 weeks to study after finishing the 90 day advance program, but didn't have the time due to personal commitments. Altogether, it was a great course and well worth the money.

Magoosh was extremely helpful to me in two aspects. Firstly, the verbal practices and the explanations that come along are amazing in helping me dissecting the complex syntax and logic of the real GRE verbal questions. Magoosh staff are very fast to respond my email inquries as well. Secondly, the math questions in Magoosh are a lot harder than the actual GRE questions. So I was very well prepared for the actual test.

The vocabulary building flashcard program was really useful, I feel I improved a lot. The math tutorials were also a great help in recalling maths that I hadn't touched in years.

There are lot of good things about the online material provided by Magoosh. Few I will specifically mentioned which helped me a lot:
1) All the Math lessons: I would recommend to everyone even if are strong in quant. It provides very good insights and also help you avoid trap.
2) GRE vocabulary app - very useful so that you can prepare anytime. I used this extensively
3) verbal material - quality of questions are excellent. It was more closer to the real GRE.
All in all, material provided by Magoosh is matchless.

Magoosh allowed me to study on my own time while working full-time. I needed quite a bit of math review, and the lessons and practice were really really helpful.

The tips for how to approach problems was more helpful than in other prep books I had. I also liked the study schedule to monitor my progress. Having a score predictor gave me confidence for test day (although I wasn't initially sure how accurate it was). The practice tests (including that extra experimental section) helped build my stamina as well. I enjoyed logging on and watching my pie change, watching explanation videos on 1.5 speed, and redoing problems I flagged or left comments for.

Perhaps the best test prep web I've seen. Good explanations and adjustable difficulty. Practice statistics are really helpful. Questions are harder than the real exam.

Magoosh helps me to really grasp the words through practicing and find my deficiency. And to be honest, the estimated score actually made me diffident about the test, so I got pretty relaxed while taking the test.

For verbal, I did a lot of difficult questions in Magoosh and thanks to that, I got a pretty good score. Also, the Flashcard helps me remember a great amount of GRE-level words.
For math, although I did not improve my score with my last time exam, I still experience some of the typical questions which resembles the true GRE test. Therefore, I really appreciate your contribution.
