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.

i felt so prepared going into the gre because i knew what to expect. the practice questions helped me become familiar with what i would be asked and how to think about the answers and the videos helped me discover topics i had no clue about.

as someone who graduated college 6 years ago, it was good to re-visit that problem solving approach that standardized tests are looking for. magoosh definitely helped me re-learn what i had forgotten in my 6 years post graduate to succeed on the test.

mike mcgarry's math instruction was extremely thorough and paid dividends on the test.
as a history major who's done nothing mathematically in 7 years since graduating ucla, i was more than prepared on test day.
