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.

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.

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.

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.

It helped me understand how to organize my time on the test and also strategize given its underlying logic/tricks. Furthermore all the practice problems helped me review and learn new concepts, skills, etc., which was absolutely necessary for feeling confident and prepared for the test.
