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.

Good practice questions! I only had a week and a half to prepare so I just drilled questions over and over. When I first took the practice GRE I got a 152 verbal so a 9 point improvement in under two weeks is huge.

Magoosh was instrumental in preparing me for the GRE! I had a little over a month to prepare, and although I was nervous about refreshing myself on years' worth of high school math in such a short time, the 30 day studying schedule was perfect for my needs. I loved how it efficiently tackled every aspect of the test, ranging from foundational math knowledge to mock essays and plenty of practice questions. Magoosh offered an incredible amount of flexibility; I could work at a time that fit my needs, customize practice problems according to difficulty and subject, and rewatch videos if needed.

I especially appreciated the video lessons; Mike made re-learning high school math less painful (and at times fun!) while Chris offered wonderful strategies to tackle the essays and those dastardly triple blank vocabulary questions. They were a great source of comfort whenever I was doubting the material and how ready I felt for the exam. :)

Moreover, I appreciate your entire team + the work you all put into your products! Thank you for creating study programs that are accessible and affordable, and for helping me along my graduate school journey. I am officially a Magoosh fan!

The math videos saved me! I studied for around three weeks and watched all the math videos following the one month study plan. Super helpful and will definitely recommend to people! The vocab flashcards were also great, so many of the words showed up on the test! Thanks again!

The study schedule was well-paced, rigorous but not soul-crushing. All the explanation videos were very informative. Both experts from math and verbal are incredibly clear and highly skilled at what they do. Chris, I venerate your vocab work and Mike, I love you 3 x 10^3. Thank you both and thanks Magoosh team!

Magoosh provides brilliant videos on both verbal and math that covers all the GRE concepts. The questions --in addition to the Official ETS guides-- prepare you thoroughly for the real exam. Moreover, the dashboard gives you a good estimate of your final scores and helps you understand how much additional efforts are required to achieve your set target.

I completely relied on Magoosh for my preparation, and that has done wonders for me! I simply loved the online portal, with some amazing features like daily schedules, customizable quizzes, estimated score, and much more. These truly helped me analyse my performance and work on the topics I wasn't initially comfortable with. The lessons gave me some really handy tips to go about cracking the GRE. I can't express my gratitude enough, thank you so much Magoosh!

Magoosh helped me a lot by teaching me the esential ideas and methods, especially for Quantitative section, which seriously helped me cut down on the time it took me to solve a question. Magoosh provides one of the best prep courses at an unbelievably cheap price. I couldn't thank Magoosh enough for helping me achieve my target score.

Doing the Magoosh quantitative problems and listening to the in-depth explanatory videos saved me from overlooking some lesser-known subjects, such as combinatorics and integer properties, while broadly honing my skills and speed. Verbal sections also helped: they gave me a better sense of how to interpret written information and match that semantic pattern. In summary, had it not been for Magoosh, I would not have been able to efficiently polish my initial deficiencies. On the GRE, time is a precious resource, and the confidence I built by using Magoosh allowed me to ace the exam.

I started this process with no idea what this exam entailed, or how to study for it. Perhaps most critically - completely lacked confidence that I would be able to achieve anything near a satisfactory score. Magoosh was a complete life saver as it helped me break down the time I had to study, space out the material at a comfortable space, and build up my confidence that I could in fact perform at the level I need to. There's absolutely no way I would have made it as far as I did with out Magoosh!

Magoosh was a LIFE SAVER. As a nurse, my erratic hours make studying difficult at times, but the program was able to be a guide that I could stick to. Before I started my prep, sometimes the biggest issue was just how I should organize learning such a variety of info, but Magoosh absolutely saved me here with the day by day guides.

It gave me a good checklist of things to do every day that I could just go through. That was nice because I didn’t have to think about what i was planning on doing, so I could focus on just studying. I also liked the amount of practice questions and the videos for each question.

Magoosh provided me with the best possible and complete study material. The videos, especially those of Maths, explained the concepts in a crystal clear manner and taught some very useful shortcuts for solving even the hardest of the problems. I highly recommend Magoosh.

Magoosh is the absolute best - it’s the perfect balance of flexibility and structure for people working full-time, in that I was able to tailor their study plan to fit my existing schedule. The Magoosh material not only helped me to relearn concepts I hadn’t seen in years (especially the math), but also was crucial in teaching me how to approach different kinds of problems, and how to learn from my mistakes over time. I’m so grateful for the program!

I was looking to improve my math scores (I am applying to engineering graduate programs and the math scores are the limiting factor for entry). Magoosh gave me the chance to run hundreds of math problems and really cater my studying to a few specific topics that troubled me. I was able to improve my math score by 6 points, which sets me up well for my graduate school applications.

I briefly used Magoosh to prepare before I took the GRE in December 2017 after completing a Manhattan Prep course. Although the practice questions were helpful, I wasn't sure how to tackle learning new content because there wasn't a curriculum. When I started preparing for the GRE last month, I used the one month advanced dashboard that guides you through which lessons to complete. It was incredibly helpful to have a study plan that suggested lessons and the types of questions I needed to practice.
