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.

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.

I purchased all of the major review materials for the GRE and Magoosh was the most helpful. Specifically the in depth videos and large bank of practice questions were the best I found. The most impressive part of Magoosh, however, was the swift and clear responses provided by the support team on any subject. They even answered questions I had from other companies practice questions!

Magoosh did what it said it would do. It provided practical, realistic practice for the GRE, accompanied by fantastic lessons - which were both fun to watch and spot on in terms of preparation for the contents of the exam.
I had very limited time to prepare for the GRE. I joined Magoosh to do the best I could in a very short amount of time and it still made a huge difference. I didn't have time to take a practice test before the day of, but I have no doubt it improved my score.
The best part is, I actually felt intellectually fulfilled by the contents of the lessons. I realized, for example, that I really dig prime numbers. This is a far cry from being a dry test prep course. Nice job.

Practice Questions for verbal especially.
I referred to Practice questions for Math portion and also video lessons on statistics were great (I didnt refer to other video lessons on math due to paucity of time). I was a bit inconvenient in math-stats portion, but after the lessons, I was able to solve stats questions in actual GRE exam with 100% accuracy.

My final GRE score was higher than either my before or after practice tests. I learned a lot of the math I'd forgotten from high school, and a lot of answering techniques that helped me answer questions I otherwise would have either had to skip or spent too much time on.

Quiz and practice tests helped me to pace time-pressure properly, and estimated score section was very relieving. Also, solution provided for every problem was just awesome. Lastly, vocab and math formula e books were extremely helpful.

I found Magoosh's data-driven approach tremendously helpful. Being able to track the types of problems I was doing well on and those I needed help with made studying very efficient. And the video explanations were very clear and helpful.

Magoosh provided an excellent question bank, in addition to in-depth lectures that not only taught how to tackle problems but, more importantly, how to think about them. As someone who struggles more with Math, I had alot of practice to do to get a decent Quantitative score. The lecture videos were especially helpful in leading one through the logical steps of how to approach a problem, coming at it from multiple angles, and giving one numerous ways to think about how to do the problem, rather than just throwing a formula at out and telling the user to memorize it.

It helps me a lot on my verbal section. It's the most worthwhile 99 bucks I've ever spent. I should have bought fewer GRE books if I knew magoosh earlier.

Verbal questions especially text completions and sentence equivalence really help me a lot. The questions are very like real GRE questions and video explanations are very clear. I enjoy it. Also, I use flashcards, and it is really brilliant!
