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.

lessons were helpful especially for math. practice tests were harder than the actual test which
was good for studying

i did every single math problem on the website and it gave me a chance to practice all of the skills that i haven’t used in several years. the explanations were clear and helpful.

helped me review all the concepts, particularly for math. being able to filter the difficulty level to practice questions that i was struggling with was also very helpful

good practice questions and lessons about getting familiar with test overall. nice

increased my math score by 8 and verbal by 3.

because i was focused on trying to bring up my quantitative score, i tried to focus on those lessons and practice the most. i actually feel that i have learned more from magoosh than i have in previous endeavors in math including the books i had used to prepare for the gre in the past. i feel that magoosh' focus on "number sense" was right on the money - i lack number sense and so i feel that i built it up in myself so that by the time i took the gre i was able to recognize patterns that i never could have before. although i did not bring my grade up this time i really feel like i learned more than ever before - i also had a lot going on during the month i was planning to study including my husband having acl surgery and being in the hospital myself, so i definitely did not study as much as i could have. i am planning to continue using magoosh and probably will retake the test in 2-3 months in the hopes of improving my quant score. my quant score is one thing holding me back from a guaranteed acceptance into veterinary school so i will keep trying. i think magoosh is so great! video lessons are incredibly helpful and i think the explanations are so thorough.

it was a good way to refresh math skills i hadn't even thought about in years.

i used magoosh vocab app and verbal practice a lot. great practice. verbal is a little more difficult than actual test that makes sure you are absolutely prepared. the instruction for writing is also helpful.

with timing and just so many resources! the videos were entertaining and engaging, and there were many avenues for engagement and seeking further help and providing feedback.

gave me practice for some difficult questions

the studying techniques really helped.

i really needed to improve my verbal score, and that's just what magoosh helped me do! the vocabulary flashcards and practice questions were invaluable, and the video lessons were extremely useful.

magoosh’s lesson videos were great! they helped me a lot in the verbal section. plus the quality of questions was really good. it was a fun experience preparing for the gre with magoosh. the people at magoosh were also really helpful and supportive.

magoosh aimed my studying at specific question types and felt just like the real gre! i loved the feedback on questions and videos. such an amazing program!!!

practice tests and problems. great blog.

making the questions harder than they were on the actual test. the lesson videos were also very clear and concise, and i learned a lot from my mistakes on the very hard questions so that i wouldn't make the same mistakes on the actual test

easily helped improve my score dramatically in all areas.

magoosh gave me practical, easy-to-understand lessons about the things to which i needed to pay attention. i appreciated the difficulty of the problems, which allowed me to feel much more confident entering the test.

magoosh provided great lessons that told me about the tips and tricks of taking the gre. i needed a quick refresher on many concepts, and the video lessons were perfect.

structured study schedule

the brainstorming ideas for the written section were probably the most helpful. the difficulty of the math section also prepared me well for the quant section of the actual test. magoosh was a much more affordable and flexible option than most of the prep courses out there.

you guys have a good product. keep it up. :)

the option to customize the practise tests helped a lot.

good, concise overview of math concepts that focused on test-taking strategy.

the math lessons were supremely helpful, as we're all those hundreds of questions! i actually watched every single math lesson and did all but maybe 20 of the questions and it really prepared me for how the questions will sound, and which tricks pop up. i've always been great at math, but the logic that was taught went beyond memorizing formulas and really helped with the reasoning part of it. there's a lot of talk about how pointless standardized tests are and i'm sure there's a lot of arts and social science students who don't understand why they have to show math skills, but your lessons and questions focused so much on the reasoning part of it that i can actually see why unis would care about the scores on some level. you helped show me meaning, and that was essential to me actually learning.
