You, Our Next Thriving Student?

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 helped me brush up on my math skills. I watched all the math videos, and I think they really helped me learn what I needed to know for the exam.

I think that the amount of questions and lessons available on Magoosh provided a rough study plan that was flexible, which was very helpful to me. Even though I knew I needed a study plan that was able to force me to concentrate, I also wanted to be able to adjust it as I went along, and Magoosh was perfect in meeting my requirements. In my opinion, the best thing was that every time I was stuck on a question or needed more explanations, I could reach out and get a reply very soon.

As a prospective Engineering student, I was pretty confident with math, so I was a bit skeptical about needing help. However, the Magoosh math lessons and questions went right back to fundamentals, and helped me develop some really simple skills and strategies which I wouldn't have otherwise used. Furthermore, through practice, lessons and flashcards, I was really able to boost my confidence in the verbal section. So much so that I ended up with a better verbal score than math score! Moreover - all this content was tailored to GRE-style questions. There were no real surprises on test day. My only regret is not beginning my study sooner - but the free study plans Magoosh offer give great structure, which helps to avoid both procrastination and panic!

Magoosh helped me identify specific mathematical topics to study

I especially liked the Text completion and SE questions from magoosh, the practice interface was wonderful!!! I am sincerely grateful to the model test provided, it was wonderful and mimic the test setting very well.

I was overwhelmed with choices about how to get started preparing for the GRE. Everything felt expensive, similar, and ultimately more about selling me things than helping me succeed.

But, when I stumbled across Magoosh, it seemed special right off the bat. It seemed like the dark horse of the pack: honest, smart, and friendly. The videos were the right length and tone... Just two site visits into my free trial had started, and I was hooked!

The best surprise: the testimonials were true, Magoosh slipped right into my life style, and I felt like I had the tools I needed to get to my goal score! I downloaded the vocabulary and math flashcards onto my phone, printed a study plan to keep in my bag, and watched the videos from my room. I was able to steal time here and there during my day, and the Magoosh tutors were always in my corner. It was fabulous, and I couldn't have done it without Magoosh! I even think I'll miss logging on to watch my dashboard improve, watch a video for a solution that blows my mind, or listen to Mike tell me that memorizing something would be "the worst idea." When I walked away from the test center with my new GRE score (much higher than my goal score), I knew all the time and effort had been worth it.

Thank you, Magoosh! Thanks for making and keeping things simple, straight-forward, on point, and dignified (didn't need to feel like I was free advertising walking around DC)! I will be singing your praises to all. Thank you so much!!!

Knowing that I had paid money for a prep program made me feel more impetus to use it. I enjoyed the video format for understanding what I'd missed on questions.

Learned how to take the test from a strategic perspective. The videos were fantastic!

The flashcards were awesome. I just did the common words set and had so many of the words on my test.

LOVED THE VIDEOS - ESPECIALLY THE MATH ONES. I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE 32 YRS AGO SO THE COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED. I APPRECIATED THE BIG PICTURE VIEW OFFERED BY MARK MCGUIRE.

It certainly help me a lot in my verbal part, but I only practice a small amount of math questions so I could not tell its efficiency

I only used Magoosh to prepare for the GRE. The thorough video lessons and the wide array of practice problems helped me overcome my weaknesses in both the Quantitative and Verbal Sections.

with lectures on math mostly

The vocabulary flash cards were extremely helpful, the math practice questions were more challenging than the actual GRE and the passage comprehension questions were comparable to the GRE (unlike some other prep courses).

I thought Magoosh had helped me a lot. I took a full practice test before the real test and got a 166 Q. But I didn't improve at all :(

It was very helpful in reminding me of math concepts that I hadn't studied for literally 20 years.

Practice questions on Magoosh are extremely useful. I spent only 2 weeks on GRE. Magoosh prepared me well in such a short time.

Magoosh really brought my Quant score to the next level. I was extremely impressed with out detailed the videos were. They underscored the most important concepts, and even gave a few tricks and shortcuts along the way.

I needed to seriously brush up on my math. The videos helped me relearn a ton!

Practice problems were very helpful

The math sections and overall feel of the exam. I had three weeks to study while still in school full time with a part time job. I didn't have much time, but I was able to improve my math score by 8 points and my overall by 9. I feel I now feel that I have better understanding of mathematical concepts.

Magoosh was fantastic! It helped me to plan my study time, kept me focus, and gave me the tools I needed to do my best. I used the website, but also apps for my iPhone and the Google Chrome extension to learn vocab. All of the platforms were attractive and user friendly. Most importantly, the videos helped me to learn math I hadn't used in many years! I went from completely lost in math, to quite comfortable in a few weeks.

Verbal Practice and vocabulary improvements.

One of the most helpful aspects of Magoosh is the format. Specifically, being able to attempt a problem and flag it for later review or immediately watch the explanation video via the link provided made studying much more efficient and enjoyable. Another strength of the Magoosh format is that it enables each person to tailor their preparation based on their personal strengths and weaknesses without wasting large amounts of time flipping through books and keeping additional notes. I can easily log in and use the question filters to see where I need to focus and which areas I have mastered. Overall, the system is well designed and works as intended.
