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.

There is a whole lot of good practice material out there, but the amazing thing about Magoosh was that its online-based GRE training system simulated the actual test experience very well. After all, practicing in front of a screen and clicking my way through the questions made much more sense to me than working with a book and checking answers with a pencil.
Most of all, the adaptive difficulty level was a great help. After days of practice with very hard Magoosh questions, the actual GRE test almost seemed easy.
I am really grateful because I took the GRE four times with only minor improvements. Then I signed up to Magoosh and in the fifth test session I finally reached the score I was aiming for from the beginning.

First of all, the Magoosh teachers are really helpful when I have the question. The lessons and the question also help a lot in eliminating your questions and weakness. Though Magoosh questions are harder than real GRE test, you will find it really relaxed when you take the real test.

Familiarises me with the test and helps me build up vocab. I didn't use the math review part at all, since my weakness lies with the verbal section.

Magoosh is sooo helpful, not only the practices and tutorials, but also the iPhone/iPad apps that come with it. I can't imagine taking the test without Magoosh prep. I'm sure I could score even higher on verbal if I had more time devoting to it. Anyways, I absolutely love magoosh and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is going to take GRE.

Magoosh practice questions helped me cover tested topics and get used to the pace required to attempt all questions on the test. The video and test explanations accompanying the questions were very helpful whenever a doubt arose.
I followed the study plans provided on the website, and stuck to the recommended material. It worked very well for me.

Magoosh helped me gain confidence in a short span of 15 days and I scored lot better in verbal section. The custom practice sessions helped me with my weak areas such as RC's and Data Interpretation.

I think Magoosh helped me a lot because of the unique questions in Magoosh. Like math, the questions are full of traps so that you have to be more cautious. And the average difficulty of verbal section, in my view, is harder than that in actual GRE test. Though I'm not a native speaker, I still regard Magoosh as my first choice. I would take GRE test a few months later again to improve Verbal points.
