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.

It was specially useful in recognizing and solving the tricky questions in the Quantitative part of the exam. It also helped me recognizing the most common words for the Verbal part and practice with them before the exam.

A number of ways: suggesting where to get good articles to read, recommending reputable material, calibre of practice questions, pacing and the list goes on.

I enjoyed the assortment of study options and tools, and definitely appreciated the abundance of practice questions. I'm highly disappointed with my score (considering the programs I'm interested in and the amount of studying I did), but I can't say it was due to a shortcoming on Magoosh's part. I've just never been a consistently good test-taker.

The verbal reasoning questions were really helpful. And they seems to be more difficult than the actual test.

Magoosh's practice problems gave me the practice I needed to reach my target score. The level of difficulty of the problems included in the question banks prepared me well for the actual test. I also loved both the vocabulary and math flashcards and the fact that I could use them to study on the go. I found Magoosh to be a key driver behind my success on the exam.

Your video lessons really helped break down all the concepts required to do well on the GRE. The explanations provided were in an easy to understand format, particularly the math videos. The practice questions, while challenging at times, were clearly spot on given my score!

I took the GRE in October 2015 and started studying Magoosh in early September 2015, when I had a firm grasp on the Verbal section but did not know how to factor an algebraic equation. The practice problems and teaching methods, particularly identifying formulaic components in the lessons' practice problems, were critical to my understanding of math in a way I had never previously had.

Math review and math and verbal strategies on the test. Magoosh's score guarantee improved my incentive to study, though it turned out I didn't need it. Now my scores are in the range needed for the grad programs I want to apply for.

I originally planned to study for the GRE using only the ETS test guide, but I quickly realized that I needed more instructional support. Magoosh's video lessons were the perfect answer. They were informative, provided great examples, and walked through all of the information on the test step by step. Also, the on-demand video style allowed me to work around my full time job, which was extremely helpful. Furthermore, the bank of questions was an invaluable tool and the video answers provided after each question helped me determine what I did wrong and taught me the most efficient way to solve problems.

Magoosh gave me a lot of practice problems to do so I could get used to the problem format. I really liked how explanation videos were available for every problem. I was able to learn what to focus on and which subjects the GRE emphasized. Also, the lessons were very detailed and helpful, but the topics were explained in a matter that was easy to understand.
