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's best feature is that it offers over 500 practice questions for both math and verbal—all with video explanations that explain the logic of each question.

Magoosh offers a helpful structure for keeping your GRE preparation on track in an easy online platform that gives you a projected score and makes improving feel almost like a game you're playing against yourself.

The math questions, in particular, seemed much more difficult than the ones I actually faced on the test. Whether that was an artifact of the types of questions I happened to receive, I was grateful for the extra challenge in practice (as discouraging as it felt at times). Thanks!

I am working full time at a software firm, that eats a lot of my daily time. Without Magoosh, my trial towards GRE would have been just a fool's errands. No doubt, Magoosh is now the most trusted partner for anyone with higher studies plans. With its structured and methodical approach, dedicated instructors and wonderful materials, Magoosh was definitely a life-safer to my GRE prep. And, I thank everyone wholeheartedly at Magoosh for being there. Wish you all a wonderful journey ahead.

*my special thanks to Chris and Mike; you guys rock!

Extremely helpful in preparing for both the material on the test and the test itself. Provided insight and understanding to what would/would not be tested, how the test is scored, strategies for test-taking, etc.

- All the math content was very clear, well-developed, pacing was just right, with really good practice questions.
- The hundreds of questions - the practice from these was invaluable!
- The Analyze an Argument videos were great with the fallacies outlined.
- Verbal strategies and the verbal videos were actually fun, Chris is a very engaging speaker.

Getting me back up to speed on the basics, clearly outlining the fundamental concepts underlying the problems AND showing me intelligent approaches to problem solving.

Adaptive practice was very good to tailor my training.

The note function was great. (I wish I was a bit more saavy on the notes at the beginning; I failed to utilize them as effectively as possible.)

All in all, it was very good to get me back in the game and improve my score. I had to deal with some personal crises during my principal GRE study time that took away from my efforts, or I would have been able to certainly score even higher.

Magoosh has a wealth of helpful resources at an affordable price. I really liked the dashboard statistics, the ability to customize timed practice sessions, and the vocabulary flashcards. Magoosh's customer service was attentive and prompt.

Thank you for the tough standards laid out by your questions. The pitfall questions are very much akin to what appears on the GRE.

Vocabulary, especially sentence completion.
I think Magoosh questions in Verbal sections are harder than in the actual test. So when I become pretty comfortable answering your questions, I feel much more confident when I'm taking the actual test.

I believe using magoosh has improved my score by 10 points each on both the sections. Magoosh has all the material required for a solid gre prep. and their study plans help a lot too. Most important- give as many tests as possible..my quant score increase by atleast 5 by giving lots of mock tests.

The Magoosh prep program was clear, concise and complete. I work full time so don't have a lot of time to set aside for in-person coursework. Happily, the Magoosh materials enabled me to easily fit studying into my work breaks and evenings. It provides a manageable way to study for someone who is really busy. The materials were also more difficult than the actual GRE, which made taking the test a pleasant surprise. I ended up scoring higher than I did on any practice test, and this was despite multiple interruptions and loud noises during the exam. I'm so happy I chose Magoosh instead of the overpriced in-person courses.
