You, Our Next Thriving Student?

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.

Good to have many practice questions and video explanations.

Email me if you'd like specific comments on a particular question :-)

Excellent lesson videos and friendly test window and convenient time set and various practice modes!

Magoosh provided me with a wide range of practice problems to get me ready for test day. The videos for each question were particularly helpful in breaking down the problems and making them manageable. I was never strong in Math testing, but Magoosh put a little voice in my head that made me stop and say, "Now, let's think about this" for each problem. I think that this helped me immensely to stay calm during the test.

Magoosh gave me an entirely new way of approaching the questions. Chris' video lessons were fantastic and gave me some great strategies to use on the Verbal Reasoning section. The flash card app was also very convenient and helped me improve my vocab immensely. The score increase I saw was beyond my expectations. Thanks!

The videos were incredibly helpful catching me up on all the math I forgot in the past ten years! They also gave me amazing time saving tips and tricks for the different sections and question types which helped keep me focused on test day. I felt very prepared, not only with the knowledge I needed to answer the test questions, but also with the test format.

Follow the study plan and with helpful tips to both quant and verbal question. I didn't have any friend that have done the test before, so it was really useful to get acquantice with the question format, and be able to do small batches of question everyday (after a full-time job and extra activities) was the right choice. The flashcards app is another great addition, as it allowed me to use my commute times to study vocab.

the practice test is extremely helpful. also the vocabulary flashcards helps a lot too.

it helps me a lot on the verbal part of new GRE. After practicing on magoosh, the real test was so easy for me, but I did not manage the time well and only got 160.

The video courses helped me a lot in understanding the scope of GRE and preparing for it. The vocabulary mobile app is convenient.

Magoosh was everything i needed to prepare for the gre.Dont go for any other material.This is the only thing that you need to ace the GRE.

Very much! especially in R&C

First time: I skimmed all of the videos once trying to watch all of them. I also took multiple practice tests and practice questions. I went through all 1000 flashcards and felt comfortable with them.

Second time: Watching the videos again for the math section really helped me the second time around. I did not use any of the verbal section videos to study. I did not use Magoosh flashcards, I used another app that had 5000 words.

Magoosh is extremely helpful. I'm not the person who would like to 'waste time' completing a survey. However, I only spend half a month to get such satisfactory score. During the preparation, I even didn't read the Official Guide(I know it's not recommended :p). I only watched the lessons and practiced the questions and Magoosh helped me free form the pain the take the GRE again!

Magoosh was an excellent platform which allowed me to practice specific sets of question types that I needed help with. The video instructions are clear, but brief, allowing you to cover a lot of material in a single session. I used Magoosh in conjunction with other GRE prep books and found the online platform far more realistic to the testing conditions. I'm a firm believer in the practice-like-you'll-perform method and being able to acclimate myself to practice tests using a computer rather than a traditional book was extremely helpful in my preparation.

Magoosh not only provided a great platform for me to learn but also pointed me in the right direction for additional resources and learning. This methodology really shows how much Magoosh wants the test taker to succeed. I increased my score by 12 points in 3 weeks by studying the Magoosh vocab and actively seeking Magoosh recommended resources for learning.

The explanatory videos in the math section were very helpful. Also getting a sense of what my score might be as I answered questions in the tests was very helpful.

Magoosh helped me improve my math score with the video lessons. It also helped me structure my study plan.

It helped me review a lot (especially for math) and learn new techniques for the test

I hope you could actually help me improve verbal.

A friend recommended me to use Magoosh after he scored a 309 with 2 months practice. When I took the premium I was not certain if it would help me in such a small time period of less than 1 month. But after practicing over 2 times and thanks to Chris Lele for his wonderful video explanations, I reached my dream score.

Thanks Magoosh ????

The mathematics videos were awesome. They covered everything and more in a clear and concise manner. It was incredibly beneficial to have practice problems in the videos as well.


The study plan I subscribed to was key, as I had a strict schedule to follow, but in the end it helped take the stress off of assigning myself work. It helped my study pace and gave me ample amount of time to watch all the mathematics videos at least once, but also a great amount of time practicing.

Besides the practice questions for the verbal section, the Magoosh GRE Vocabulary Flashcards app was the best resource for sharpening my vocabulary, and was also very convenient.

It's hard to put my finger on what was the most helpful/important part of studying with Magoosh, since I strongly believe the combination of instructional videos, practice problems (and videos to explain solutions), practice tests, study plans, preparation information, and on-the-go apps were crucial to my success. If I was forced to pick one, however, I'd say the lesson videos for mathematics.

I definitely needed the most help in math. The practice problems were very close to the actual exam. The techniques provided by the Magoosh teachers showed me how to quickly answer the problems. With similar study questions, I was able to save minutes of work on test day!

Also, the writing component suggestions were quite helpful. Beginning with the hypothesis and writing the entire paper before the introductory paragraph allowed me to synthesis my thoughts and organize a well-devised intro.

Highly recommend Magoosh!!
