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.

Magoosh Verbal Section was like a lifesaver.In the beggining I struggled a lot when i faced questions in RC . But i think i overcame that fear and gradually built my confidence in RC, which happened through regular practice and by listening and explanations of RC questions and analyzing my mistakes.Questions of Verbal section are top notch and are very much similar to the actual ETS ones, especially the harder questions in SE and TC.Thanks to Magoosh and Thanks to Chris Lele for his helpful explantions.Quant Section provided me a lot of practice before the Actual GRE.

Magoosh has the best video tutorials, which include literally everything that can appear on the exam, the best practice problems, and allows you to practice in exam-like conditions. Plus they have the best team, extremely nice and helpful! If you have to choose one way of studying for the GRE I would definitely go for Magoosh :)

I had previously used other resources to study, so I mostly used the practice questions and the explanations to questions I wasn't sure how to do, or how to do quickly. Having over 1000 questions to practice from (I did around 750 in a span of 5 days) was invaluable to my preparation. The Magoosh math is slightly harder than the actual GRE math, so practicing with Magoosh made the GRE math seem relatively easy. I also used blog posts from Magoosh on the analytical writing section to help me prepare for the writing section of the GRE.

Magoosh gave me the strategies I needed to not only feel more confident about my abilities, but to address my weaknesses and improve upon them. I felt completely prepared for the test. The questions Magoosh gave me were 100% realistic and come test day I knew how to tackle the questions the test threw at me. Magoosh allowed me to get the score I needed for my dream graduate program and for that I am forever thankful! Best GRE prep out there, hands down.

During my first practice test, I couldn't finish the math sections on time. Using the Magoosh custom practice feature, I was able to take 20 questions every 35 minutes to simulate the actual test and improve my time management. On the real test, I finished all sections within time!
The video explanations were excellent, and the linked lessons for every question were very helpful when I encountered topics I wasn't familiar with.
Lastly, the ability to speed up videos was a nice feature as well.

Magoosh was indispensable in helping me reach my target score. I did my practice questions as 5 full length tests which gave me the needed practice for sitting 4+ odd hours at the test center without losing concentration or getting bored..!
Thank you Magoosh :)

The questions in Magoosh are close to what we get in the actual GRE.
Positives :
Great UI - Makes solving problems fun , Great explanations for each and every question, good mix of questions in terms of testing concepts as well as difficulty levels.
Solving all the practice problems helped me build up my confidence. The team was very responsive to any sort of queries that I had.

Strongly recommended.

Magoosh was amazing. On the test which I got, every difficult word was from the Flashcards app. Magoosh was the only test prep that I needed. One month of preparation was enough using Magoosh. All the lessons were very helpful and practice questions were almost same. Even the timing feature during practice helped me realize in which areas I was slow and had to improve. This was my first attempt on the GRE and I'm really impressed with what Magoosh had to offer.

I followed the one month Magoosh plan and it was really well structured and really helped me to achieve the goal that I wanted. The videos were very useful and the instructors are all very knowledgeable. All the tips and tricks they tell you along the way really stick in your head and I definitely utilized a lot of them, especially in the math sections! I was a little worried because I only had a month to study but sticking to the plan really helped me stay focused. I would highly recommend this over Kaplan which is what I used before. Magoosh is the future of exam prep! Thanks! :)

Magoosh exercises and videos were extremely helpful in preparing for GRE :) Had a happy experience studying with magoosh. The difficulty level of questions is much higher than the actual test so it makes sure you are very well prepared. Magoosh worked like magic for Verbal section ! (I was really weak in Verbal )

I can honestly say that Magoosh is THE best of all the GRE prep programs out there.I'm basically good at maths but magoosh helped me to fine tune my methods which in turn helped me to achieve the perfect score,and in the case of verbal I solely depended on GRE flashcards app and scored more than what I expected.I would definitely rate magoosh as a good product especially if you are short on time.

Magoosh the most comprehensive source for GRE preparation I have ever seen. I am a science graduate and never done math since since my schooling. But the in depth math lessons from Mike enabled me to get a satisfactory score. Magoosh helped me to score 312 in just one month. And a special mention about their support team. The support they provide you is awesome. You can get answers to your questions promptly and quite comprehensively..Thank you Magoosh for your excellent product :)
