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.

The video explanations of specific questions along with links to relevant video lessons were a great way to learn the subject matter. I really liked the vocabulary flashcards mobile application and I definitely used the study plans on the site.

I used all of the math lessons, which were extremely helpful. Magoosh's practice questions and practice tests were more difficult than any other GRE prep books that I had found, so I really felt prepared for the difficulty level of the actual test. The blog was also useful. I adhered to the 4 week study plan and I found it really helpful to have all of my days planned for me.

Unlike other prep courses that just teach you short cuts and superficial understanding of concepts, the Magoosh teams goes above and beyond explaining those troublesome math concepts. I needed help with my math section and I came to the best place. No need to spend thousands of dollars on other companies. Went from a 151 practice math to 160. I'll take that any day... :)

Special thanks to Mike McGary!

Harder practice problems than the actual test and detailed explanations

helped a lot in understanding logics in verbal questions

I picked up some neat tricks from the verbal lessons on how to tackle reading comprehension.

excellent practice questions

Magoosh was a great help in managing my time during test.

good

Video lessons were excellent, running the gamut from "a helpful review" to "I would have had no idea how to do that." The plethora of practice questions accurately simulated the varying difficulty of questions on the actual GRE, and in some cases were much harder. I barely touched the other resources I had acquired to study for the GRE.

The review videos on the fundamentals of math were great, I didn't remember much from high school math so they were invaluable.

It gave me structure to study and made studying very bearable while I was also working 40 hours a week! I really felt like I had a team working with me. Also, having a study plan laid out ahead of time was very helpful. The practice tests and surplus of questions made me feel very prepared by the time I got to the test, especially since they were formatted in a very similar way as the computer-based test

Magoosh helped me review math concepts that I had not used for a while and helped me practice for the specific question types on the GRE.

I liked the clear explanations on key concepts provided by Magoosh's videos, and the ample practice that I received, even during the lessons themselves!

Concepts were taught in a fundamental way which helps a lot.

Math videos were extremely helpful. I really liked the way they go beyond testing skills and really delve into the mathematical principles and reasoning behind the questions in a friendly and clear way.

The viedeos on AWA tasks, although few, cut right to the point and provide a simple and flexible structure for building or analyzing arguments.

I really appreciated the flash cards for vocab and lessons following each question. Big help!

The video tutorials were really helpful, and I liked how the bank of questions could be customized. I watched nearly all the videos, did hundreds of questions, and a practice test. Overall, it was a big part of my prep and really helped!

Videos for verbal

Math was never much of an issue for me but practicing on Magoosh helped me revise whatever I had forgotten and helped me become more agile at solving them For the Verbal section I can't overstate how useful Chris Lele's explanations. I don't think I would have been able to improve without his lucid explanations.

I used Magoosh to improve my math score and take practice exams. The lessons, practice exercises, and mock tests were all great and I could hardly be happier with my results. In particular I think that the lessons, which were in-depth and focused on thorough comprehension rather than rote practice, were a really important factor in my improvement.

The timed practice problems with clear explanation videos really helped.

It helps me understand the preferred way in dealing with verbal section, which helps a lot. Also, it have some tricky math problems which makes me more curious in the real test. The reading and math problems are excellent prediction for the test.
