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 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 only had less than one month for preparing my GRE text. Even so, Magoosh just helped me save a lot of time since all the lessons are extremely concise but closely relevant to the test.

The videos explaining the questions are really helpful. The arrangement of math lessons are constructive and friendly, that I've picked up those concepts without feeling frustrated.

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.

I focused just on the math videos. I'd used prep books from the library (Kaplan, Barron's, etc.) before my first attempt at the GRE and was very disappointed in my math score--they didn't prepare me for the type of math I actually encountered, while Magoosh did. I didn't find Magoosh until too late in the game the first time around, and I also thought going through the prep books and free websites would suffice. This is definitely worth paying for. I didn't have much time to prepare for a retake; had I, I anticipate my math score would've gone up even higher. Given the short amount of time I had (what equated to less than 3 weeks), improving 4 points was good.

Magoosh changed the way I fundamentally thought when studying for the GRE. Between my first mock exams and my final, I jumped 13 points, none of which were as high as my actual score. The videos are insanely helpful to visit again and again. I watched the practice videos, did a lot of practice (both on Magoosh and the ones suggested in Magoosh's study plans), then watched the videos again to see what stuck and what didn't.

The vocabulary flashcards probably bumped my score 5 points higher than it otherwise would have been.
The math flashcards were also great because it reinforced some of the general rules that came up in the videos, and helped me apply them to actual GRE questions.

(There doesn't seem to be a section for AWA scoring, but the AWA videos really helped me organize the way I think about timed writing, and helped me get a high score in that as well.)

I wish you could have a service that helps students to improve writing part or at least haves some lessons about writing part.
