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.

I liked the video explanations, both for the questions and the concepts.
I went through all the math, and flag ones that I was particularly stumped on. I went back through the math and did all the ones I got wrong. Then I went back through and did all the flagged ones. I wish I had time to do this for the verbal.
I really liked the flash card app and how it randomizes the cards.

Both my math and analytical writing scores improved significantly as a result of using Magoosh. I scored in the 98th percentile on the writing portion and the Verbal and improved my Math score by 5 points. The video tutorials were fantastic.

Magoosh practice sessions were great. The lesson videos are outstanding, especially for the math. These lessons were both rigorous and at the same time understandable. I felt like both abstract concepts and real world examples were emphasized during these lessons, a combination which really made the material "stick".

I started Magoosh around two months before my first test. For verbal I mostly used the flash cards whose vocabulary was remarkably well-matched to the test. I encountered dozens of words between both tests that I had learned from Magoosh and very few (less than 5 per test) that I did not know and were not covered in Magoosh.
For math, by far my weaker subject, I watched all the Magoosh lessons and did a few hundred practice problems. This was excellent preparation. The problems were, on average, harder than those on the real test and covered all of the same material. Again, little to nothing on the tests was not covered in Magoosh. The similar interface, mix of problems, and timing features on Magoosh allowed me to practice not just the material but also test-taking strategies.

it was great for the math section! the techniques were extremely helpful and made the test a breeze. if I made any mistakes, it was probably due to an error in calculations rather than being confused

The explanation videos and the ability to play at 1.5X speed were extremely useful features. Well organised content. I scored 320 with ETS diagnostic test and I ended up with 331 after relying on Magoosh materials. I am very impressed by the quality you guys offer at such an affordable price.

In so many ways...it gave me confidence in retaking the GRE which also gave me the gift of peace of mind. I was much more relaxed taking the exam this time around, which allowed me to think more clearly and panic less. I looked forward to studying the verbal sections and used it as a treat after studying for math, since math is much more difficult for me.

The math lessons were great and a big help. Also the practice tests were a very good tool. I used the 30 day intensive study plan, but focused almost exclusively on the math lessons.

Magoosh gave me all the lessons I needed to learn the basic concepts, and the practice to master them. Having the dashboard and options to review certain topics was very useful, as was the practice test - it was the only one I used.

I did all the practice problems I could on Magoosh and watched all the lectures for the questions I got wrong. Magoosh really helped me to think strategically about how I unwrapped each problem and analyzed what was the core concept being asked and identified the best approach.

In all ways possible.. I wouldn't have been able to score anything more than a 310 if it was not for Magoosh. Both the Math and Verbal tutorial classes were so helpful.
