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.

Magoosh was awesome. The videos, study guides, flash card app all helped tremendously to boost my score.

It was absolutely critical in re-teaching me the math strategies and fundamental principles that I haven't used in years. The verbal lessons provided some great approaches to the reading comprehension and text completion questions. Overall, this study program was extremely valuable, and I'm very glad I went with this choice.

My score improved by the equivalent of 20 points on both the quantitative and the verbal. More importantly, I was able to relearn much of the math, which I had not seen since I last took my GREs in 2006.

Magoosh really helped me. Although I was expecting a better verbal score but I guess I didn't practice enough. I love the explanation videos and email help to be specific.

I was primarily aiming to increase my quant score to at least the 95th percentile. Magoosh problems and explanations were exactly what I needed to succeed.

Study plans and supplementary material list, video lessons and extra questions, and setting up the practice tests with the extra experimental section were all helpful.

The reason I signed up for magoosh was that I needed more practice problems. Problems were very good but I also enjoyed the lectures. I wish I had signed up for magoosh during my first attempt.

The math lessons were way more comprehensive than the Manhattan books in terms of covering the topics. I wish I had realized the 1.5x feature early because Mike McGarry talks kind of slow, and I fell off the lectures early. Overall, I had fun.

Helped me revise math and get better at reading comprehension. I was primarily using it for math and am pretty happy with my math score. I want to make a special shoutout to Mike mcgarry, whose measured tones and intelligent breakdown of the math topics was very reassuring and helpful for my revision of math I hadn't done in 12 years. Thanks lots.

Magoosh improved my command of the math portion of the GRE well beyond what I had accomplished on my own for my first attempt.
