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.

Studying vocabulary with Magoosh app is the most helpful. I can remember about 1000 GRE words in a surprisingly short time.
Moreover, it introduces all sections of GRE well and lets me know how to study each section. Comments on the mind control and study plan also make me familiar with the GRE test.

What makes magoosh a very unique product is the attention they give to subtle elements in all topics-elements the Gre loves to trap you in- along with a set of practice questions that mimic those which appear on test day. In addition to this, magoosh questions come with answer videos to each and every question, which ensures that one does not repeat the mistakes. I can confidently say that, if your target score is on Everest, magoosh trains you to be Hillary.

Most importantly, Magoosh taught me effective strategies to help break down problems, which were especially useful for the Verbal questions that had answers I lacked word-knowledge for. It also spruced up my knowledge relevant to Quant and Verbal.

I really liked the explanation videos after each question- they helped me to understand what I had done wrong in the problem and how to improve it.

It helped me to take a data driven approach. By checking the stats for the practice questions I can see where I am getting most questions wrong.

It helped me understand the structure of the verbal section, and the math videos really helped, both to understand concepts and become faster at doing them. I loved that the practice problems linked to related videos--it made it a really efficient way to practice, and I didn't have to watch all the videos straight through.

For the math section, the practice problems were invaluable. Not only did I get to practice GRE type questions, but I was also able to identify which concepts I had forgotten from high school and re-learn them via the useful video lectures.

I don't think i can thank Magoosh enough for their math and verbal prep, their vocab flash cards and their ability to make us feel organized and top of our game during our gre prep. Math prep from magoosh made me feel the questions on the actual gre were too easy. I was initially very horrible at verbal, i improved considerably with the help of their question bank and the video explainations - helps in learning how to start off a particular type of question and what to look out for and all those amazing strategies. I used kaplan for strategies regarding AWA. The study plan(1 month), a lifesaver for someone who does not follow study plans diligently....their study plan makes you comprehend that any slacking means you will not finish prep in time.
Once again great job guys!!

As someone with a quantitative background, I loved the verbal questions in Magoosh - they have detailed explanations, and really taught me how to dissect a complicated sentence or passage and understand the underlying logic. The vocabulary flashcards also covered most of the words that I saw on the actual GRE exam.
