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.

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.

Gave me insight on what to expect, allowed me to focus on what I don’t know and helped me to actually learn from my mistakes.

Magoosh helped me with breaking down the math formulas in a way that helped me to understand the concepts. The vocabulary app was also very thorough in helping me to prepare. Magoosh also provided a large amount of practice problems for me to get comfortable.

I am a currently in a job, so it was hard for me to maintain a daily schedule and stick to it, before magoosh. Magoosh helped me a lot by providing a daily routine, which I could follow.

Oh my gosh - magoosh made it possible to start studying immediately and stay studying for 6 months! You took all the guess work out of selecting what to study when. I felt totally taken care of and partnered the whole way. I loved all the videos, the inside scoop on what to expect.

I focused a lot more on the Math. Given that the Magoosh problems are tougher than what was in the actual test, I think getting proficient with Magoosh really helped me in the actual GRE.
The videos and explanations were definitely very thorough and helped me develop a new Outlook on how to approach the questions.

Interactive interface allowed for quick reference checks that would otherwise be cumbersome in a book. Also practicing in front of a computer screen really helped prepare for the actual exam. Mike, the math guy, really killed it in explaining each step.
