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.

338 with a 6 on analytical writing.

the practice questions were essential! but in addition, i followed the math-intensive study plan which gave me exactly what i needed to do every day. i watched all of the math videos twice and then rewatched the tricky ones every morning while making breakfast. and the vocab flash cards were a huge game-changer as well.

but the biggest thing was just providing structure. i was working full time as a teacher (48+ hours a week) with lots of travel while also taking a microeconomics class. having the structure and knowing that if i stuck to the plan i would have a good showing was huge. and then having a guide for the day of and the days leading up to it were also huge. knowing what to expect the first time walking into the testing center relieved a lot of stress.

magoosh was a big help in practicing math problems and providing me with targeted feedback on subjects i struggled with. in particular, it was a big help for geometry and statistics.

magoosh was really helpful for me because the explanations for each question were broken down clearly and helped me understand what i did wrong as well as provided me with strategies to complete the question in the most efficient way. i really appreciated being able to follow a self-paced, pre-planned day because it helped motivate me to study each day and kept me on track. there were plenty of practice questions and tests available, and everything was super easy to use! a bonus is that magoosh has official ets practice sections, which is super helpful :)
