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 don't think I was ever bad at GRE math before I used Magoosh, but I kept messing up because I either read the question incorrectly, or because I just didn't know a simpler way to solve the question. Magoosh really helped with those issues. As for verbal , Magoosh's vocab builder app , the flashcards app , and the lessons on how to tackle various types of verbal questions prepared me well enough for the verbal section so that I felt quite comfortable answering most of the questions on there.

Magoosh was the primary source for all of my GRE preparation, I didn't look at any other material from any other source. Solving all the Magoosh practice questions trained me well enough for the actual test. Also Magoosh GRE flashcards app and Magoosh Vocab builder were very helpful amd were my only source for preparing vocab.

I was really rusty on math, and the video lessons were really comprehensive. The lessons on writing essays really helped me organize my time better. I felt so much more at ease with the essays because I learned to go in with a game plan. I also love the score predictor and the way you can customize practices. The detailed study plans also kept me from feeling too overwhelmed. Everyone I was in contact with from the Magoosh team was incredibly nice. They extended my account access because my studying didn't go according to plan last year. I really like how you can email someone for a detailed explanation of ETS study material (because they don't always give great explanations, if any). What drew me in, though, were the GRE blog posts. They felt so honest, especially the book reviews, and that (along with the free trial) was what gained my trust. It didn't feel like another company trying to sucker me out of my money.
