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.

As a non-native English speaker, vocabulary is the first obstacle to GRE verbal. After expanding my vocabulary, I start to use Magoosh. The video lessons are very helpful and the practices are well designed and similar to the real test, although I think the VERY HARD questions are much more difficult than most of the real test, practice them a lot if you wanna get verbal 160+.

The lesson videos, especially the math videos, were incredibly useful in helping me to brush up on a lot of my rusty knowledge. In addition, Magoosh's practice questions and user interface are very similar to the one seen on the real test, so once test day came my nerves were much calmer due to the familiarity acquired by doing 100s of Magoosh practice problems. Many of the skills I picked up from the math and verbal videos will probably be useful to me even after the GRE. Everything is self-paced, and the comprehensive text and video explanations after each question help to guide you through them step by step. They're also great about responding promptly and thoroughly to your questions. I've already recommended Magoosh to several of my friends - it's awesome!

I've always struggled with math sections on standardized tests, and Magoosh is the only test prep service that has actually made a difference for me. I felt prepared taking the test and the videos gave me the confidence to tackle problems I probably would have given up on before. Thank you! (Plus, if you ask a question these guys are the sweetest! Each of them clearly understands teaching in the full sense of the word.)

I found the time saving strategies particularly useful in the math sections of the test. I did not use the calculator at all. It were really the little things which I learned from the lesson videos which helped me ace the math sections.

It pools all of the resources that I need to prepare for the GRE test together, so that I could stay focus in stead of being overwhelmed by a flood of prep books.

The videos were amazing resources - I viewed them all - multiple times! Big props to Chris and Mike (and the rest of the team!). I have a long daily commute so I spend 10+ hours in the car every week. While I couldn't WATCH the videos while I drove, it was helpful for me to listen to them during a time that would be otherwise wasted - and since I spent several hours of every day studying, even passive listening was a nice way to review as I started or ended my day.
Also, your apps were super helpful. I really enjoyed the verbal quiz app - this and the GMAT app were my constant companions as I walked around campus or stood in lines.

I didn't really have any idea of what the GRE structure was, what was on it, or how to study for it. Magoosh gave me a comprehensive, easy to use learning platform that took me from totally unprepared to exceeding my goals in six weeks. Really happy!

Helpful in every way. Where to start. As I had heard from reviews, the questions were really tough and well thought out. Some were ambiguous or very subtle but all over helped me reach a very high level for GRE. The help service is simply awesome. I have bothered you guys constantly but I got really helpful replies from all the Magoosh help guys. Thank you Adam, Carolyn, Sasha, Pete,Niloufar,Mark,Davi.etc I am sorry if I am forgetting anyone else, but the replies were all very nice and insightful.

Magoosh has been a wonderful mentor to me. I studied for around 4 months before taking the exam and I was able to get a decent score of 321. I would recommend magoosh to all the aspirants who want to take GRE. The time bound practice provided by magoosh helps to provide the test environment from Day 1.

I scored much higher than I expected, and I passed the verbal score that my school requires. Even though I'm a second language learner in English, Magoosh has prepared me for enough vocab for the test. Besides, the video lessons are extremely helpful, and Magoosh's study plan helps me to stay on track. No matter how I like to procrastinate, I still notice that there's much more I need to study and thus gain some self-discipline because of the schedule. Simply put, I'll definitely recommend Magoosh to my friends who are taking or about to take GRE now.
