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 magoosh product is very helpful. the video presentation after each problem has made the solution to the problems crystal clear. it is like a real person tutoring you, at your own convenience. compared to other programs with out out video presentation, the magoosh program is superior.

magoosh helped me in several ways. the system taught me how to look at the questions, how to find the answer that was most correct, and reviewed my math skills. magoosh is by far the best test prep for your money on the internet, and it is also fun to say. magoosh!

reviews were great, however the strategies on utube from the cute guy on magoosh were better than the explanations on how to calculate on the math portion
that cute guy goes through how to do math problems buy guestimating in order to save time... i would have liked to see more of that on the site

i knew that in order to feel prepared for the gre, i wanted to take tests on a computer. by having hundreds of questions for me to go through, i was able to do just that. and, with the answers demonstrated in the tutorials, i was better able to learn from my mistakes.

as someone who learns much better from videos than strictly from a book, i greatly enjoyed the teaching style of magoosh. beyond the vast number of practice problems, explanations, and tutorials, the blog offers an always update source for new material and situations and i greatly believe all the content in combination contributed to attaining better than my target score.

i know that i made the best decision in choosing your product since i only had 2 weeks to prepare. the format of your practice questions exactly matched the questions on the exam, which left me feeling very confident when i typically would have felt nervous. i had limited funds and extremely limited time to prepare, but only using your product left me feeling like i had a private tutor sharing with me every strategy i needed to know.

i was able to do the questions and watch the videos during my lunch at my job. the best part was the practice questions, as i could as many or as few at at a time if i wanted. if i only had ten free minutes, i'd just do 4-5 questions, but if i had hours free, i could do an entire test. i really liked the flexibility of the program. the videos were very helpful on the math section because it was a long time since i had learned those concepts.

it helped me understand and predict the style of problems that i would find on the gre. the verbal portion of the review really helped me analyze the sentences and readings.

i felt that the verbal section would be my weak point, so i did a lot of verbal work on magoosh along with a few other online gre practice websites and an iphone flash card app. out of all of the practice materials for the test, magoosh verbal was the closest to the actual test and prepared me for the tricky questions. also, i would highly recommend the flash card iphone/web app that i used, which is offered by brain-scape.com. the words were relevant to the exam and i was able to learn approximately 1,200 words in about two months without pushing myself too hard.

magoosh was a tremendous help. the first time i took the new gre i had not used magoosh to prepare. the resources i did use (mcgraw hill and princeton review books) led me to believe that the quant problems would be much easier than they actually were on test day, and as a result i was not adequately prepared. i used magoosh to prepare for my 2nd attempt at the new gre, and i found the problems to be a better representation of the actual quant section (i did not use the verbal section of the site). also of significance, magoosh's mock test option allowed me to determine where i needed to be at what time, something i didn't know the first time i had taken the test. knowing how to properly budget my time was probably the single most important factor in improving my score, and magoosh's mock test option is the best way to learn how to budget. my score on quant went from 152 to 165.

mostly verbal - the level of complexity of the actual exam did correspond with the practice examples. math was useful too, however the quant section of the actual exam was not so complicated, and many of the actual math problems were different.

lessons, practice questions, and blog really helped me improve my score. they helped me improve my basic skills and speed. i also used a lot of the strategies i found in the lessons and on the magoosh blog for each of the sections and overall test. magoosh is the best gre prep product/material i have used in every sense. i also like how the staff is down-to-earth and quick to reply.
