Magoosh Student Review

This is a survey response from an actual Magoosh student after they took the GRE.

Dec 23, 2021

What was your overall score on the actual GRE? 331
What was your math score? 157
What was your verbal score? 170
How did Magoosh help you?
I am a non-traditional student (almost 40!), and it had been nearly 20 years since I had used a lot of the required math skills on the GRE. Mike McGarry was a wonderful instructor, really teaching you the why behind the various concepts, and helping to develop your number sense, which I found hugely useful. I bumped my math score nearly 20 points from my first practice test to the actual GRE. I had an overall score of 331, which was well beyond my goal of 320, and Magoosh was a huge part of that.
Magoosh is a play on the Old Persian word magush, one who is highly learned, wise and generous.
