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.

I was starting from zero with math and Magoosh taught me all the basics. If I had had a little more time I probably would have been able to raise my score even more. The vocab cards were really helpful and allowed for studying on the move.

I used Magoosh to relearn concepts that I'd forgotten over time. I also used it to address my major pain point in the math section, which was pacing.

The practice questions were harder than the real exam, which made me feel really confident while I was taking the test. I walked in on test day feeling prepared and honestly pretty stress free.

Really helped me nail down some math concepts that I'd forgotten. Helped me to feel comfortable with the tricks the GRE likes to impose on the Quant Comparision questions.
The verbal was also very helpful. On top of learning some new words, it just helped me gain an intuition for what words fit in various sentences... an intuition for were the line is on how synomomous a word must be in the harder sentence equivalence questions. Also, the reading comp questions helped me feel more confident in picking out passage inferences, etc.
I think it was as much about familiarzing myself with the types of questions GRE asks, and the common traps they employ, as it was learning new vocab words or math concepts.
Finally, my speed greatly increased on the math through learning some of the mental tricks Mike shows in his videos.
Thanks!

I found the video explanations after each practice question extremely helpful. I also liked following the advanced one month plan. I also took a ton of the practice tests which helped a lot with timing and stamina.
