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.

1) body of practice problems - helped in the usual way that practice helps
2) explanation videos - taught me the logical approach to different types of problems
3) vocab flashcards + vocab wednesdays + vocab app - taught me the vocab
4) personal approach - more engaging than simply reading something; great response time from tutors
5) study plans - this helped me structure my plan of attack

Although I considered math the easier section for me, Magoosh helped organize and clarify the ideas of this section. As for the verbal, my weaker section, Magoosh helped identify ways to think, approach questions, and study. This is the only way I can imagine approaching verbal, because each question is unique and doesn't have a clear cut method of solving it like quantitative questions normally do. Yet, Magoosh tries its best to group the different types of questions, so that's extremely helpful. Overall, Magoosh did wonders in an extremely convenient way and affordable manner.

Concise lessons, I can always get the core of a knowledge point within the few minutes' class. The explanation of each problem is concrete, and often solves what I am confused most.

Magoosh aids me to adjust my strategy when dealing with questions, and Since the questions out of the hard and very hard level are a little bit difficult than questions out of the actual test, so I can solve them easily.

For someone who doesn't speak English as the native language, Magoosh offers an all-sided approach to the mastery over the English language and I myself would not attain such score if I didn't use Magoosh for preparation. The verbal section, expecially the reading comprehension and the text completion parts, is of great value; the math section also provides abundant and elaborate questions for me to work with.

the math part is highly recommended,but the verbal part contains too much words that's not frequently seen in real GRE test, but the logic fits very well

It has been helpful toward my study with the math section since I did't pay too much attention to math at first. Practicing does help. I didn't get an overall improvement on the verbal section.

helped me a lot on SE and TC.
I didn't use the RC.
My math is good, but still, I finished all "very hard" and "hard", and it helped me get familiar with some traps and pitfalls.

I did an undergraduate degree in Architecture, and only had math exposure through our structures courses. Otherwise, I was totally in the dark. The quant videos and practice questions were crucial to my success. I completely exceeded my expectations.

Most importantly, Magoosh gave me a grueling schedule to hone my skills in three months. I used a modificated version (including two essays a day and own flashcards) of the schedule for advanced students, which can be found on the Magoosh Blog. What impressed me most was the fact that the schedule included a book from a competitor, underscoring my impression that Magoosh genuinely tries to be the best product for test takers.
In a nutshell, I do not think I could have delivered such a performance without Magoosh.

While most review materials for the GRE are cursory, Magoosh facilitates an in-depth and foundational understanding of the underlying concepts behind the test material. After a month and a half of using magoosh I truly developed an ability to properly orient myself to any given question and understand what I was supposed to be looking for in an answer. The sheer amount of practice questions available, the study guides, the flashcards (being accessible by iOS App was amazing), and the very rapid question response from Magooshers helped me prepare adequately and score well.
