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.

magoosh helped me significantly with improving my math score, raising me from the 50th percentile to the 67th percentile. i feel that, given additional study time, magoosh would have assisted me in scoring much higher than this. unfortunately i did not take advantage of the program in earnest until approximately 1.5 months prior to the test, which limited my progress.

did 30-day daily study plan, watched all videos, did 3/4 of all practice questions in this short period of time i had to prepare. it clearly paid off. i've already recommended this to friends taking the lsat

yes, i used it primarily to re-familiarize myself with math concepts i hadn't dealt with since high school. it was very comprehensive and helpful. the overall interface is great, too.

couldn't be happier. fantastic product which thoroughly replicated the challenges of the test. the explanations and lessons were spot-on and focused on only what we need to know as opposed to extraneous crap like barron's (i read a page of a barron's prep book and put it away for good). also your vocab flashcards are incredible. god bless your team. i went from a 326 to a 335 solely using your one-month prep package and the vocab flashcards.

it helps a lot, for this was my very first time took gre test, i have so many things need to know. magoosh offers a perfect test sets to make me practice everyday. this together with manhattan gre test materials are perfect combo. manhattan has all the guides essential for the gre, and magoosh here has all the sample questions you need.

magoosh helped me focus on my timing as well as on the topics that i had more difficulty with such as probability and sentence completion. by memorizing the words that i was unfamiliar with in the verbal sections, i was able to solve problems on the real gre with ease.

it helped me know so many of the math tricks needed to work through the math problems as quickly as the gre demands. having a near endless amount of practice problems also helped a ton.
the vocabulary flash cards were clutch for my score on the verbal - without them, i definitely would not have known where/what to study in regards to difficult words.

it helped me improve my math score drastically! applying to engineering programs, i needed a math score in the 90th percentile. magoosh boosted my score into that range. the large quantity of practice problems (which were very close to the problems on the real exam) helped me reduce my time per problem and improve my knowledge of how to do each problem. the video explanations of each problem and videos of concepts tested by each problem taught me so much that several other test programs had completely ignored.

magoosh was instrumental in improving my score. i haven't taken a math class in many years and had forgotten many things, but magoosh was able to bring back that knowledge very quickly and effectively. the vocabulary flashcards were also a huge help. overall, i saw a direct and substantial improvement in my practice test scores as i progressed through the magoosh videos/flashcards.
