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 verbal questions were much more difficult than the actual gre and i was able to breeze through tough vocabulary. instructional videos on methods to answer questions helped take my score to another level.

practice problems that helped me understand and focus on my weak areas. the regularity that magoosh provided was extremely helpful. magoosh replicates the exam problems very well. i was surprised at the similarity of questions i saw on magoosh and the actual test. the best part is the vocabulary app; you have done a real good job of taking the high frequency words and building an excellent app.

the videos were very helpful for the verbal section. i would not have done as well as i did without them. the problems were very representative of the level of difficulty for the actual test.

i had about a month to study and used the one-month study plan and a one-month premium plan to prepare. in particular, i needed a crash course in math after several years out of school! the courses were excellent and the practice questions were incredibly helpful; i was working full-time and needed lessons that could adapt to my schedule, so this was an amazing option (and much more cost-effective than tutoring or classes). i would highly recommend it to anyone in a similar situation!

the maths videos saved me as i haven't done maths for 10 years. the strategies to deal with verbal questions definitely pointed me in the right direction. the video explanation of each question was extremely helpful. i don't think any other resources are necessary if you make good use of magoosh website and the flashcards.

the videos and the customizable practice questions were the most help to me. i hadn't done any math in 15 years and, while i still wish i had done better in that category, i wouldn't have done nearly that well without magoosh.

so many good practice problems! i also relied only on magoosh videos for advice on the writing portion and got a 5.5. i ended up doing 3 full length practice tests and found that to be most important in my overall success.

i benefited a ton from the magoosh gre vocabulary app. a lot of words in the app showed up in the actual exam. i wouldn't have ideas what they mean had i not used your vocab app.

verbal strategies presented in the videos also proved to be invaluable. the one single most important strategy that i learned for verbal section is "thinking up your own answers before reading provided answers". this definitely helped me in terms of averting confusion by all the similarly-worded answer choices.

getting a lot of practice questions and seeing myself answering them correctly also boosted my confidence going into the actual exam.

magoosh helped me by giving me strategies for studying. for english it gave me vocabulary to remember and directed me to places to read advanced material. magoosh also helped me break down complex reading problems and complex passages. for math it gave me strategies to simplify the math problems and do them faster. the main benefit of magoosh is it gives you a real perspective on what the purpose of each question is which helps you define how to tackle each answer.
