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.

Mike McGarry's math instruction was extremely thorough and paid dividends on the test.
As a history major who's done nothing mathematically in 7 years since graduating UCLA, I was more than prepared on test day.

Magoosh had a ton of practice questions that lasted me over 3 months. I did practice questions for both Verbal and Quant 5 days a week, and also studied only Magoosh Vocabulary flashcards.

Magoosh provided amazing videos to learn the fundamental concepts associated with each question type. Making me much more adaptive to the nuances in question types.
