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.

Math was very helpful and helped me improve a lot, but it did not prepare me for the most difficult GRE problems I saw on the actual test. I did not find Magoosh’s verbal section to be similar to the actual GRE verbal. Magoosh vocab was too difficult and the reading comprehension was not similar

I am SO happy I decided to go with Magoosh - the study schedule helped keep me on track & accountable, yet was flexible when I needed it to be. The videos were extremely helpful, and I loved the score predictor feature.

Creating bite size study plans on day to day schedule. Great job at covering the basics and building on it incrementally. Great explanations in all the videos. From the instructional ones to the answer explanations.

Magoosh helped me brush up on math skills that I had not used in a while. I also liked the hints strategies they provided for answering quant and verbal questions. I only used Magoosh when studying and was able to exceed my expectations.

I was not good at the verbal section and Magoosh has been pretty helpful in my second try. I was able to memorized lots of vocabs. Highly recommend it.

The videos (especially math) were very helpful to learn strategies to quickly do math. Especially the videos tied to pratice questions that could be watched if you get a question wrong or were unsure about the topic.
