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.

Loved the study plan! Not having to plan out what and how much to study myself made it so much easier to just get going and keep to a schedule. Also the videos helped with strategies/math concepts and also the vocab Flashcards

Before I started my preparation, my English was abysmal. My vocab was wanting and I could not really understand sentences with heavy words. Magoosh's free vocab ebook + Chris Lele's Vocab Workbook proved to be a panacea for all my inadequacies. I religiously studied those books and found them more than sufficient for my GRE prep.

Magoosh's lesson videos were really good and helped me refine my knowledge in various areas of verbal and quant sections. I solved each and every question which gave me a good idea of what to expect on the exam day. Resolving all the wrong questions helped me understand my mistakes and boost my score. There are video explanations for all the questions which means you can watch them as many times as you want and understand what you did wrong.

Also, Magoosh's staff is just awesome. They are easily accessible through email and they respond really quickly (like, within minutes). They were always there whenever I had doubts or wanted some advice on how to improve. Truly, can't thank them enough.

Finally, Magoosh proved to be a one-stop solution for everything I needed. I did not have to take up any extra books for my preparation. And don't forget to revisit the questions you got wrong. Solving them is as important as eating your veggies. I mean it!

Special mention to Chris Lele's Vocab Wednesday playlist on youtube, Magoosh's free flashcard, and vocab apps.

Gave me a strong overview of the types of problems and how to solve them. Good way to ensure you have a structured study plan.

Provided structure

Learning the pacing was very helpful, and the verbal part in particular was very similar to the actual GRE’s. Simply having a similar set of questions available was a great guide.

Lots of good math questions!

Vocab flash cards were a godsend!

Good learning methods

I found it fun and I definitely became more comfortable with the test.

Yes, lifted my quant scores

So helpful! Schedules, challenging questions, great instruction, practice tests, and easy way to take notes. Prepared me well!!

The primary benefit of Magoosh was the wealth of practice questions.

Between my two exams I did a ton of math practice and watched nearly all of the math videos.

Fleshed out my Quant knowledge!

Going through the math videos was a great overview review of the math topics I needed. I also used the one-month study plan and loved having that guidance.

It was great to practice on the computer using the online calculator. Felt like the real test. The lessons were super helpful.

Being able to understand multiple approaches to problems and also being able to see explanation for any problem I answered in case there was a faster way. It helped a lot.

Math videos were great. I wish I had improved my score a bit more.

I decided to take the GRE pretty last minute (one month before my test date) and I was skeptical whether that was enough time to cover everything. Magoosh’s structure and thorough study plans and lessons made that more than possible.

Questions were useful, math lessons useful

Provided resources to help me better prepare for the exam and to be more confident while taking it.

The informational videos were so helpful! I hadn’t taken a math class since high school. Really great for explaining math concepts.

Test format and user interface familiarity, & a study schedule to follow! Math concepts and lessons, verbal question subtleties, vocab, how the test makers think, how to approach different types of questions, how to approach the writing section.

It made me confident.
