331

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 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.

TC and SE questions are extremely helpful in practicing the logic and building up the vocabulary.
The flashcards are helpful for building up vocab too.
I only did a few very hard math problems due to limit of time and confidence in doing math well, but these questions include all the tricks that GRE play in their math problems and very helpful for me to be aware of it.
The tutors are also very helpful in answering my questions, very patient and clear in their explanation.

Practice tests were very uselful to pace my timing, especially in Quantative Section. I also enjoyed studying from Magoosh Vocablury App and found it quite effective for the actual test preparation.

I had already taken the GRE and used another course. Magoosh provided me with a structure to review methodically and target the areas where I needed to improve. I only used the math side because I was very strong on the verbal without any prep so I cannot speak to that.

I had never taken the GRE before, and within 1.5 months felt really prepared going into the exam, thanks primarily to the practice questions and solution videos on the Magoosh website. I appreciated that the style of these practice questions closely matched those of the actual exam questions, and I liked the fact that Magoosh questions were a bit more difficult than the real thing.
