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.

the vocabulary app helped with the verbal section!

helped repeat topics i struggled with

magoosh was helpful in introducing me to all the concepts and question types i would encounter on the gre

practice questions

handed

it kept the level of practice problems difficult yet relevant to the actual gre right from the get go, so when the test day came, i really felt no kind of pressure. the video explanations really helped. the vocab flashcards were more than enough to tackle all the verbal problems. i also benefitted immensly from the zoom classes

the videos were great! i watched them on my breaks at work and it was a great way to make studying fit in with my busy schedule.

taught me math concepts i forgot and had practice tests for me to see my progress. used the vocab flashcards too.

it helped me a lot with its lessons and exercises. the lessons are well organized and have very good examples for each topic.

lots of practice problems were very helpful

organize my study

helped me learn useful strategies and math concepts

magoosh took the stress out of studying. i was unsure of where to start or what topics to focus on, so having magoosh decide for me was a great help.

the lessons (particularly the math) were very comprehensive and the practice questions were a huge help for actual test day. i followed the beginner one month study plan and thought it was a really good pace and length.

magoosh helped me learn about relevant concepts in an incremental manner with specific examples for each lesson.

the test prep product is a very good mixture of self learning and coaching services. the lessons serves an instructional purpose while the wide variety of sums in practice sessions gives one the ability to work on sums at your own pace.

the timed sections were extremely challenging and helped me to prepare for the real thing. also, the videos were super helpful and digestible

understanding the test

feel for the type of questions. refresher of basic math knowledge.

the instructional video lessons and solution explanations were what sold me. i loved being able to watch and listen to math question explanations. the one-month study guide also gave me important structure to stick to as i got closer to my exam.

make me a better idea of the questions

learned a lot

prepared me for question types and timing.

loved the times quant section tests to practice pacing

magoosh helped me get rid of bad problem solving habits and really taught me the ins and outs of the gre. my biggest difficulty with the gre wasn't the content of the exam, but rather the specific skills it tested. getting used to not trusting the geometric figures, being suspicious of variables when it doesn't explicitly say if it's an integer or not, etc were all things i was used to assuming without thinking and this cost me greatly the first time i took the gre. with magoosh's help, i was able to break those habits with the constant drills and plethora of practice questions that aim to challenge those assumptions. magoosh also helped me improve my verbal score by introducing unique approaches and new reading comprehension skills that i never learned in school. so grateful for magoosh!
