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.

magoosh helped me do a quick review of all the material required for the test. though i didn't reach my goal, this was due to insufficient time and not to the quality of the product. i definitely plan to use magoosh again if i decide to retake the test.

before i signed up for magoosh, i took an ets practice test and got 160 on math and 162 on verbal. i spent most of my magoosh time studying for math, but my math score didn't change at all, so i don't really feel that magoosh did anything for my math score. with verbal, however, i feel that magoosh taught me how to look at the gre questions the way the question writers did. i stopped thinking, "what do i think the answer is?" and instead thought, "what do the question writers intend the answer to be?" that shift in perception really helped my verbal score. the magoosh vocabulary app was also helpful.

magoosh was great in preparing me for the math by having questions that were harder than appeared on the actual test.

on practice gres, my quantitative score went from the 18th percentile to the 48th percentile.

practice, understand the actual configuration of the test, practice in real time. very helpful video explanations

the video tutorials and customizable practice problems really helped me focus on my weaknesses.

good practice questions.

excellent practice problems

useful advices mostly for the math section

thorough math review and lessons provided good strategies for the verbal. the practice tests were good- i used mostly the custom ones. the vocab and math flashcards were also helpful. actual test was much easier than magoosh practice problems in math.

yes

in practice tests, practice questions.

i like the interface for practising. especially i could boost my verbal score

magoosh was awesome. the videos, study guides, flash card app all helped tremendously to boost my score.

it was absolutely critical in re-teaching me the math strategies and fundamental principles that i haven't used in years. the verbal lessons provided some great approaches to the reading comprehension and text completion questions. overall, this study program was extremely valuable, and i'm very glad i went with this choice.

my score improved by the equivalent of 20 points on both the quantitative and the verbal. more importantly, i was able to relearn much of the math, which i had not seen since i last took my gres in 2006.

magoosh really helped me. although i was expecting a better verbal score but i guess i didn't practice enough. i love the explanation videos and email help to be specific.

i was primarily aiming to increase my quant score to at least the 95th percentile. magoosh problems and explanations were exactly what i needed to succeed.

good practice qs and easy to reference videos. the quizzes are also nice.

study plans and supplementary material list, video lessons and extra questions, and setting up the practice tests with the extra experimental section were all helpful.

the reason i signed up for magoosh was that i needed more practice problems. problems were very good but i also enjoyed the lectures. i wish i had signed up for magoosh during my first attempt.

math instruction and practice - i learned more on magoosh than in high school math classes!

magoosh had some great tutorials and questions. the score predictor was also quite accurate. overall, i think it was quite helpful.

the math lessons were way more comprehensive than the manhattan books in terms of covering the topics. i wish i had realized the 1.5x feature early because mike mcgarry talks kind of slow, and i fell off the lectures early. overall, i had fun.
