You, Our Next Thriving Student?

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.

Prepared me for question types and timing.

Loved the times quant section tests to practice pacing

Magoosh helped me get rid of bad problem solving habits and really taught me the ins and outs of the GRE. My biggest difficulty with the GRE wasn't the content of the exam, but rather the specific skills it tested. Getting used to not trusting the geometric figures, being suspicious of variables when it doesn't explicitly say if it's an integer or not, etc were all things I was used to assuming without thinking and this cost me greatly the first time I took the GRE. With Magoosh's help, I was able to break those habits with the constant drills and plethora of practice questions that aim to challenge those assumptions. Magoosh also helped me improve my verbal score by introducing unique approaches and new reading comprehension skills that I never learned in school. So grateful for Magoosh!

Great And informative videos along with test day tips and strategies

Review key math concepts

- loved the plan that was built for me
-really liked the videos!

Learning what to expect from different question types, strategies for each question type, math refresher

Practice questions

Great practice material and videos

Magoosh helped me become familiar with the types of problems that I would see on the GRE and have helpful tips on how to strategically solve them.

Lots and lots of practice questions with helpful explanations.

I have a long history of average performances on standardized tests despite years of working through several books from different companies, only to find my math score remained the same. I tried Magoosh as a last desperate attempt to improve my score before giving up. I was shocked and overwhelmed that after one month of Magoosh, my score improved by 13 points - my math score alone jumped by 8 points. The math video lessons were incredibly well formatted - working through example problems and providing a succinct but powerful summary at the end helped me remember key points. So many of the tips and tricks taught in those videos actually came up on the real GRE. In addition to the video lessons, I think the game changers that Magoosh uniquely provides are 1. Video explanations of answers - seeing problems worked out in front of you 2. Being able to ask someone follow-up questions (and have them get back to you so quickly!) and 3. The ability to sort the questions you got wrong by topic so it’s very clear which sections you need to focus on. I’m forever grateful for Magoosh and will always recommend it to those preparing for the GRE.

With math skills and vocabulary

Quant videos were solid, they covered everything I needed to know. I have an engineering background, but I graduated 7 years ago. Your videos helped me refresh my memory effectively

The practice problems were the most helpful. They are hard, sometimes downright frustrating. I gave up on them before my first test (Feb 2021), and only got 157 in verbal. (Quant was already fine at 169).

After that I decided to grind on your verbal problems, ensured that I understand the reasoning behind every correct answers and tried to get at least 90% in every practice session. After doing that, the whole verbal section started to make sense to me.

I used the set schedule to make my studying more efficient - in addition to the numerous exercises and practice tests

The video explanations where very beneficial for me since I’m an auditory learner. I took away more strategy from these than written test material from other companies. And access to practice problems very similar to what appears on the test.

Went up 6 points from first practice test

Magoosh was extraordinarily helpful in the following ways:

1. It provided a regimen that I could follow. I'm applying to graduate school in my 30s - the days of integer properties and quadratic equations had long passed. I was at a loss of where to even begin.

2. The instructional videos and problem explanation videos served as a very useful refresher for some long forgotten concepts.

3. Practice questions. I completed all the questions and revisited all the incorrect questions at least once. I would attribute 80% of my success to the practice. As frustratingly contrived as exams are, one can get used to them simply by doing lots and lots and lots of practice.

by giving me structured practice.

Yes

Large pool of practice questions with lucid explanations. Great interface, great study guides and easy to follow study schedules.
Excellent support.

Gave me the correct guidance and material along with practice tests
