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.

I actually did worse on this GRE than on the one I had previously taken. However, I found the math lessons very useful. They helped me understand the concepts better.

I followed the 90 days plan with an emphasis on verbal. I found the day-to-day schedule very helpful, especially given that I have a day job. The well paced plan prevents me from stressing myself out by trying too much each day after work.

The instructional videos were good. I liked Mike the math instructor especially. He had the "math is an awesome thing and let's actually learn it" type attitude that I adhere to in my collegiate studies. The problems were very good and challenging.

I wasn't sure where to start on my GRE studies, so the study schedule was extremely helpful in guiding my studies. The vocab flashcards were great and the practice problems were very similar in concept and phrasing to the actual test, so they were very helpful.

Magoosh helped me diagnose individual issues and deficiencies I had and assisted me with specific video lessons and practice questions to help me learn or to hone my skills. Their mobile app proved incredibly convenient with the ability to learn and review vocabulary on my daily commute, or whenever I was away from a computer.

Magoosh was extremely helpful in managing my study time, with their study plan that mapped out how I should be preparing for the exam in the time that I had before my test date. The videos taught me useful strategies for tackling each question type that helped me do well.

The practice questions and practice test on Magoosh.com were a big help in prepping me for the GRE. The video lessons for math were invaluable in helping me review. But my favorite thing was the Vocabulary Builder app I could use on my Android phone. It made it easy to review throughout the day. I liked how it kept track of the words I didn't know and repeated them several times until I got them down.

I followed the one-month study plan and found it really efficient to prepare for the test in such a short time. The Verbal video lessons and the vocabulary flashcards were specially helpful to me because English is not my first language. And I really appreciated the number sense tips from the Math video lessons.

Educating me on how the test would be structured, including what the questions would look like and what the test makers wanted in their answers.

The math videos were extremely helpful as it had been many years since I had done this kind of math.

The timed practice tests were a great way to prepare for the actual test.

Strategies to use on the essay section were very helpful.

The app was great because it allowed me to study anytime, anywhere--perfect for a neurotic student like myself. (-:

I wouldn't have been able to get this score without Magoosh. Excellent video instruction and insight on how to succeed in the GRE.
