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.

Magoosh was the real game changer for me. The lessons are meticulously designed from very basic to advanced level. The practice problems are equally well designed. I actually loved the various selection and filter options while solving practise questions.
Magoosh was my primary source of study and I had depended very minimum on any other resource.
Thank you to the amazing team.

Magoosh was like having my own private tutor! Literally taught me everything I know about the GRE, and the study schedule was so helpful. I wouldn’t have succeeded without it!

Magoosh helped break down the math section into bite-sized, manageable pieces. It gave me the confidence to take on test day, knowing I'd covered everything I could possibly see on the exam.

Magoosh helped me know what to expect on test day and review all of the relevant concepts. Magoosh gave my prep direction and focus with ample opportunity to practice the necessary skills. The best part was the Magoosh had me preparing for an exam that was much harder than I experienced so on test day I was pleasantly surprised!

I had begun my preparations with the thought that math would be a breeze and I would struggle with verbal. However, after going through the practice questions I realized that I was lacking in math too. Magoosh helped me get better in both areas through mocks and lessons.

Prior to starting with Magoosh, I took a paper practice GRE, and got a mediocre Verbal score and a really atrocious math score. Magoosh was recommended to me by a friend, and I tried it out. Magoosh helped me relearn math concepts, and more importantly taught me how to pace myself and gave me the tricks of the trade to deal with the test. I have better fundamentals and a lot of sneaky tricks for calculation and estimation now. Thanks a ton, Magoosh really helped me beat the GRE.
