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.

the video lessons were really helpful for review and to learn some concepts and methods that are not taught throughout the world.

magoosh was extremely helpful as it has video explanation for every question. i was particularly weak in verbal but magoosh is helped me in learning and practice verbal, i didn't just learned for the gre but also improved my english using magoosh.

it bumped my math understanding and speed up and taught me tricks and tips to stay calm and move quickly.

i knew the kind of questions that would be on the test! i had seen the question types and watched videos to know how the verbal passages would be shown to me. practice tests showed me that to expect on the day of the test. i was more anxious about getting to the test center on time than i was to actually take the test!

so much.

the essay videos helped a lot. i enjoyed having the videos and explanation after every practice problem as well.

also, you guys are so great with customer support. i always get feedback of my questions super fast and the responses are super helpful. couldn't ask for anything more in relation to customer support.

you also extended my account for 10 extra days for free which i really needed. i'm super appreciative of it.

magoosh was the only test prep service i used, so it taught me everything from test strategies to key concepts. the first gre diagnostic had a score of 316, and magoosh helped me get a 330. in fact, the magoosh prep is so accurate, my actual score reflected my two most recent magoosh practice tests. other free practice tests i used online (ets, manhattan prep) had far less accurate score predictions.

it's super easy to use. i can take advantage of even a 10 minute break to do practice questions.

by re-teaching me some basic math and reading skills, especially how to apply them to solve problems on the gre.

i need at least a 70th percentile quant score to get into the grad program i want. i also had barely two months to submit my application from the time i decided to apply, and so had hardly any time to prepare for the gre.

my first attempt at the gre... wasn't good. i had been studying the ets books backwards and forwards for about three weeks, but on test day i got really flustered and ran out of time badly on the quant section. i also had a hard time answering all but the easiest quant questions, even though i thought i was pretty well prepared. my quant score came out pretty average, but to me it was a disaster.

i decided to try again in a month, and knew i was going to need outside help to get my quant score up. i chose magoosh because it was the cheapest program i could find, but i have been amazed at how comprehensive and helpful magoosh has been. i watched all the quant videos i could and answered as many questions i had time for. thanks to the app i could even study at work!

i figured out pretty early on that the reason why my first attempt had been so terrible is that all throughout my schooling i had been penalized heavily for using mental math and tricks to make problems easier, and had learned to rely on calculators and formulas instead. thankfully, magoosh was able to reprogram all of that.

thanks to magoosh, the second time i took the gre was much, much better. i managed my time well and spent much less time on each question thanks to all the mental math tricks i learned from the videos. questions i would have had no idea how to answer a month ago didn't slow me down at all.

my score is now well above what i need to be accepted, and i really wouldn't have been able to do it without magoosh.

(note: scores above don't include my writing section scores)

i literally did 450 or so magoosh verbal problems. they are so hard and thus push me studying all the time to at least feel not bad for myself. when i took the actual test yesterday, i realized that difficulty of verbal section was a joke comparing to very hard and hard level problems i encountered in magoosh. the magoosh keeps me humble and never feel settled when preparing the gre.
plus, the vocab prep software was very useful. i think i saw some of those words in the actual test.

the questions is of good quality, and i'm familiar with gre level vocabs through the problems

the study plan was extremely useful, particularly when coupled with all the realistic test prep questions.

the number of questions available was a great resource to practice. the different difficulties and practice tests made it easy to focus and improve.

magoosh let me study in my short but frequent amounts of free time. it helped me learn the gre and improved my verbal score greatly.

excellent video lessons, good prep questions

the lessons on magoosh as well as the videos explaining all of the questions were instrumental to my gre experience. i studied primarily from magoosh content, only supplementing with ets practice tests, as well as some kaplan practice questions and tests. i had a little less than a month to prepare and magoosh really helped make sense of the material with as little stress as possible. though what i really needed was a high verbal score (and thus focused mostly on achieving that), the magoosh math lessons offered a solid refresher course. would definitely recommend magoosh to anyone faced with the daunting prospect of studying for the gre.

it boosted my motivation to study (doing questions and seeing my results on the dashboard became kind of addictive), it gave me a very good idea what to expect on the test and how much time i will have. also, the videos helped very much, especially the explanations to each question.

it helped me a lot to understand the structure of the exam, learn new words and strategies to answer questions in the most efficient way. before magoosh i would take too long to answer simple questions and i would always be overtime.

it's been over 15 years since i was in school; magoosh not only helped me re-learn the material but also taught me new approaches and gave me some tips on tackling different types of questions.

with a lot of appropriate exercises. it helped me get fit and evaluate my own performance and fitness level.

gave me a plan to follow easily, great practice material, and insightful approaches in video lessons

i improved the scores by practicing incorrect questions and watched video lessons.

magoosh provided example questions that helped me feel more comfortable with the material. the practice questions were also excellent guides for studying and relearning the material.

i always thought i was pretty good at math (though not really verbal), so i was a bit disappointed when i got a 159q 157v on my first practice exam. magoosh gave me the tools i needed to bring my score up a ton on both math and verbal. the lesson videos taught me all of the tricks to use, and the practice problems really helped me apply them. going into the exam, i was really nervous, but it turned out after watching every video and doing every practice problem, my work really paid off! i ended up with 169q, 165v, which was even better than i ever thought i could do! :)
