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.

the biggest advantage of magoosh was the computer aspect. it sounds silly, but taking a test in a computer feels different than a paper test, and preparing with magooshs software helped in that regard.

magistrate helped me stay organized by providing a study schedule that i could easily add to my google calendar. the videos and custom practice tests were also very helpful, and much more engaging than a physical test practice book.

magoosh provided a centralized method of reviewing different topics prior that were a great way of remembering topics i had not covered in years. it also provided a wide array of flashcards to augment my vocabulary capacity as well as a plethora of practice problems to apply my knowledge.

it had been around 7 years since i last worried about a standardized test, and i had forgotten all about the tricks for quickly cranking through the math questions; magoosh refreshed my skills and added a whole lot on top. in addition, having the ability to watch videos for every question was amazing for anytime i got something wrong, but also for helping me find faster methods when i got stuff right.
