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 exclusively used the math videos this time around, as it was very important for my program that my quant score was above the 60th percentile. Both the video lessons and the test question with video explanations helped immensely. I went in to the test more confident than last time, and I scored better as well! I've always struggled with geometry and algebra, but I was able to get up to par with the help of your videos.

The best way to practice for a standardized test is to take it over and over! I think Magoosh allows students to pick up on the feel of the GRE by offering a boat load of questions that are very similar to the ones on the actual test. This is especially true for the verbal section. Perhaps I would have gotten a decent score without studying, but by drilling question after question I was able to understand the nuances of the test and criteria, which to be honest sometimes are a bit subjective. Thanks to this practice and Magoosh's explanations, I was able to get a perfect score.

I didn't have time to watch all of the videos, but there were certain ones I found very helpful. From the first few verbal videos I learned the most important points; look for specific clues and make the choice that is most directly related. Also, don't be afraid of unknown words. I learned the basic and common words in the Magoosh flashcards, but didn't make it through the advanced words.

The videos on the writing session were great. I used the exact timing and brainstorming strategies given.

Magoosh helped me strengthen my english and helped me prepare well for the verbal part of the GRE. Being from an engineering background, I required little effort for practicing math portion for the test but magoosh provided me with good resource so as to brush up my math concepts. The videos by Chris for the AWA are fantastic and they helped me score a wonderful 4.5 , which I would've been a hard task to achieve without magoosh. The verbal videos helped a lot understanding and preparing for the verbal portion. The videos were to the point and provided short tricks to solve the question easily.

Overall, the magoosh experience was wonderful and was worth every penny.

I could practice in a real exam setting, with the computer and time limit. It helped me to improve my answering pacing a lot, specially in math. In verbal, it basically built my vocabulary knowledge. I would memorize 8-10 flashcards each day. English is not my first language so it was essential for me to do that.

I registered for a test that was less than a month away. On top of that, I had no study schedule or any idea as to where I should start studying. Magoosh was helpful in outlining a study schedule, and helped me highlight my strengths and (more importantly), my weaknesses.

I cannot, in any way, skimp on lavishing you with praise. Magoosh was extremely helpful and played a huge part in my final score - especially in Verbal. I sampled question sets that my friends used from other providers such as Barron's, Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc. and I must say none of them could mimic the questions and answer choices standard of the GRE like Magoosh has.
And that's not all. The support is impeccable. In every single instance that I had doubts about particular questions and mailed you guys for help, you delivered. And the service was adequate every time.
Providing an excellent combination consisting of a great set of questions, great user interface, prompt replies to queries and superb support in general, to me, Magoosh is the ideal practice station for the GRE.
