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 really worried about verbal. I am a non native English speaker and I didn't understand the sentences. The verbal videos and question explanations are really good! Thanks ! :)

As someone completely unfamiliar with the GRE, I couldn’t have asked for a better product than Magoosh. The lessons were concise and gave me all of the information I needed. I walked into the test extremely confident and walked out a very satisfied customer.

It was useful to have structured help. The quality of the questions on Magoosh was harder/better than the test itself which helped.

Not gonna lie. I basically only did your verbal questions. I improved 5 points on verbal alone.

Hey! Paying for Magoosh was such a good decision. I don't know how I would have understood the math otherwise. I haven't seen another resource that explains everything so well and yet so succinctly and efficiently. Mike's math lessons are absolutely golden. I thoroughly enjoyed them and learned so much from them. The verbal lessons were good too, but I didn't really need them as much. Also, the personal support was nice and I didn't even know that that was included when I signed up (maybe you should advertise this more?). Thank you guys and all the best!

Taught me strategies to solve math problems and mental math short cuts. Taught me strategies to narrow down verbal question answer choices. Overall reduced my question answer time.
