You, Our Next Thriving Student?

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.

it really helped me to have a comprehensive plan and something that told me what to do on every single day to prepare. i gave myself six weeks to study (magoosh videos for four weeks and then practice problems for two weeks after that) and my score went from a baseline of 314 to 329 on the actual exam!

Taught me about the test

Magoosh helped me identify areas for growth and offered videos focused around those specific topics. I liked the feature of giving quizzes after math sections so I could decide whether I felt ready to move on or if I wanted to keep reviewing that topic. The practice GRE test I took also predicted my scores pretty well: I received the same Quant score on the real GRE, and I was able to bring my Verbal score up a few points because I went through all the words on the Magoosh Vocabulary Builder app.

1. Great lessons with relevant information
2. Brilliant practice questions and explanations
3. The vocabulary flashcards were a great resource

Used it to cover the fundamentals of math and can’t say enough about how helpful magoosh was. I think there was some gaps in my foundational math skills and these videos were incredibly helpful.

Would be happy to recommend this to anyone, and I’m positive if I had another month to study my score would’ve been even higher.

On my first practice test with Magoosh I got 312. Slowly but surely I worked my way up to higher and higher scores using their 3 month beginner plan. Their lessons were amazing, the ability to watch at double speed made it easy and convenient to review concepts. Their video explanations of every single question, accompanied by their written explanations were interminably helpful (notice the use of the GRE word they taught me). They also provided links to the lessons that could help you when you got questions wrong, so you didn't have to go search through all the lessons trying to find the right one. Their blog was also incredible, and their live courses were so much fun and informative. Their customer service was also AMAZING--they would respond to a question I had about a problem in minutes. Their study buddy feature is also a fantastic resource to take advantage of. I did a couple of gre prep books/programs before Magoosh, but I continued to struggle with concepts that were immediately elucidated with a Magoosh explantation. I do not doubt that it was really Magoosh that enabled me to get such a fantastic score. Truly, can't say enough good things about Magoosh (not sponsored, I swear!!)

Magoosh adapted to my learning needs and gave me a realistic interface to work with to prepare for the GRE. It was also good for someone like me who only had three weeks to prepare for the exam!

I was looking for a test prep provider for my GRE exam that could prepare me for a high score, especially in the quants section. I came to know about the great resources and tests provided my magoosh and enrolled for the 1 Month Premium plan. The level of the material provided was perfect for my need and with the always-available chat facility, I could clear my doubt on the spot and without a hitch. Also, a big thank you to Mike McGarry and Chris Lele for the awesome content and engaging videos.

Helped with AWA! Provided some nice structure to think about the verbal sections, instrumental in getting my scores from 154 when I started studying verbal to 167.

It helped me to develop a more focused study plan and feel like I had a pathway. It also helped me to understand math problems in multiple ways, to actually understand the logic.

It was invaluable for this exam. It helped build math skills i had not used in 8 years. Im very grateful to Magoosh!!!

Quant: I benefitted most from the mental math tips and tricks. I work with numbers all day in Private Equity and had never heard of these helpful hacks. Super.

Verbal: Working through nearly all of the Magoosh verbal question pool helped me immensely. I included a running list of all unfamiliar vocab words I encountered, and drilled them daily. I also liked the strategy videos for sentence completion.

General: Having your team available to chat, responding instantly during business hours, was incredible. Great for when I got tripped up in wrong answers to think through the correct answers in real time with a real person.

Magoosh structured my studying and I felt accountable to the schedule. Magoosh provided the actual content and concepts for the Quantitative section that I did not see in other prep materials. Even though I didn't do that well on the actual test, I did better in the ETS practice tests I did and would have probably gotten virtually every Quant question wrong if I hadn't used Magoosh. I wish I had done better in Quant, but wasn't expecting above 156 or 157 at best, and was thrilled with my Verbal Score.

Videos explained a lot about how to complete the tasks

Magoosh was the only resource I used to study, aside from a few other vocabulary resources. I felt extremely prepared to take the GRE after using Magoosh to study. I especially found the math tricks and tips very useful. I was able to make signifcant improvements to my verbal score from when I first started to test day. I even scored 11 points above my goal score of 320!

Magoosh accurately mimicked the questions and digital format of the actual GRE, which made me feel more at ease on test day. The lessons were a succinct way to weed through the fluff and determine what info I actually needed to know. While I spent most of my time on practice problems, the user interface across all Magoosh GRE prep materials was consistently straightforward and *dare I say* friendly.

The videos were super informative. Very strong foundation to have

It gave me a good idea of the GRE, the way it is conducted, what should one focus upon, simplified the concepts that weren't too clear to me. Above all, it gave me a lot of practice.

Improved my vocabulary

Magoosh taught me strategies on how to approach GRE questions! I also really liked your study schedules — they helped me stay on track and study regularly for the big test! The amount of material presented on a day-to-day basis was never overwhelming but always enough to think about.

I completed all of the practice problems for both quant and vocab, and memorized all 1000 vocab cards. The explanation videos were very helpful, and I felt well prepared for the real exam.

Magoosh was extremely helpful. The platform is modern and easy to navigate and the practice questions are indistinguishable from genuine GRE questions. But the custom practice and item analysis really sealed the deal for me. Once I could identify weaknesses, I could watch answer videos and brush up on lessons. The whole experience is really robust, and aside from PowerPrep practice exams to understand the exam interface, I rarely used anything to study besides Magoosh. Highly recommend!

Provided great structure with clear lesson plans. Good sample questions. Great format and pacing.

They helped me learn a lot of topics I didnt already know on math and other tricks to make it easier. The explanations for all the practice problems also helped me learn how to better approach questions I got wrong. I didnt concentrate as much on verbal and writing, but it was helpful to have tons of practice questions so i felt comfortable with verbal, and I loved the vocab app. The videos for the writing section helped me get a good idea of what the gre was expecting and what topics the prompts would be about. The schedule also helped so I wasnt overwhelmed when I started studying because it gave me a checklist to follow every day.
