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 vocabulary flashcards helped improve my vocabulary significantly, which had a direct correlation on my verbal score. I am an immigrant whose first language is not English and I therefore do not have a particularly strong vocabulary, however, I scored a 163 on the verbal section, a success I directly attribute to Magoosh.

I really liked that there were so many practice questions and the score predictor--it gave me a better sense of what range I could score in. The study guide was helpful at first for me, to just get me in the routine of studying--I later adopted it to suit my own needs. The explanations were also great!

Great verbal practices, especially TC+SE. Quant questions are very useful too. I use the custom practice to adapt myself to the 20questions/30minutes pace.

Magoosh is actually much more difficult than the real test. After finishing the Magoosh Verbal, I took the GRE test and found it much easier than I had imagined. So I finished the test in a short time and got a relatively high score.

Those questions are really good! Some of them are harder than real test, which makes the long reading and math I met yesterday relatively easy haha! Also explanations in both video and text are awesome! Oh Adam also helped me a lot! I'm so glad I've chosen magooosh as my primary material for preparing!

Magoosh's videos were a HUGE help - having explanations for every single question helped a lot, and the lessons themselves were hugely informative. Having instant feedback on questions and video explanations made studying so much easier and helped me to identify where I needed to focus.

I loved the fact that I could take customized practice sections by customizing the time and also customizing for the questions that I wanted more help in. I really liked the video explanations and also how I could immediately see the definition of a word by clicking on the word during the review. Magoosh allowed me to practice anywhere and anytime and I felt comfortable with taking the exam because I became very familiar with the format of the questions.

The most important aspect is the practice problems. The videos and help functions are also really good. I am quite strong at math, but Magoosh helps me to find some weakness and guarantees that full mark. I am not a native speaker but my university offers all English courses, and I strongly suggest those who like me using Magoosh, which can be better than following those local agencies interpreting GRE strategies in other languages.

Since I work full time, the access to Magoosh study material via my phone was really helpful to study on my commute and at lunch breaks. I also found the given study plans on the blog very useful.
