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.

it was helpful to have a designated plan for studying. the lessons as well as reviewing problems missed was very helpful to solidify concepts.

mostly helped my verbal score and also with useful math strategies

good practice. hard problems made actual gre easier

the practice questions were really helpful, and the math lessons

magoosh did a great job helping me build my vocabulary and reading ability. i am also very grateful for your answers to my questions. you guys have built a very good team.

it was phenomenal help for all kinds of practice, from casual section sprints to whole test practice.

i love the way the lessons are organized. it’s easy to find lessons on topics you need to work on.

the questions and the lesson videos helped to brush up concepts

math was super helpful.

very easy and streamlined practice, clear timing data and comparison to what the average test-taker’s stats are. clear explanations. great test strategies. good awareness of the fact that we don’t have time for tedious calculations on the actual exam.

the video explanations for each and every question was very helpful (especially verbal) and i would argue is what sets magoosh apart from the rest!

adherence to a study plan and timeline

concrete practice questions and clear guided lessons

really helped me cover important concepts and understand the question types better

retaught me math, and in a way that i understand the logic of it far more than i think i did the first time learning it.

very helpful with verbal and writing sections. the mobile flashcards and online tools were extremely helpful

i signed up for the 1 month subscription after my first attempt. magoosh helped me raise my quant score by 7 points in 3 weeks :)

the instructional videos gave me really important information, but the most helpful part was the math practice questions. i did a few almost every day! practice makes perfect

geometry, time/distance problems, and understanding the tricks in quantitative comparisons.

taught me to think mathematically

great videos and lots of practice problems with awesome explanations

loved the study plan! not having to plan out what and how much to study myself made it so much easier to just get going and keep to a schedule. also the videos helped with strategies/math concepts and also the vocab flashcards

before i started my preparation, my english was abysmal. my vocab was wanting and i could not really understand sentences with heavy words. magoosh's free vocab ebook + chris lele's vocab workbook proved to be a panacea for all my inadequacies. i religiously studied those books and found them more than sufficient for my gre prep.

magoosh's lesson videos were really good and helped me refine my knowledge in various areas of verbal and quant sections. i solved each and every question which gave me a good idea of what to expect on the exam day. resolving all the wrong questions helped me understand my mistakes and boost my score. there are video explanations for all the questions which means you can watch them as many times as you want and understand what you did wrong.

also, magoosh's staff is just awesome. they are easily accessible through email and they respond really quickly (like, within minutes). they were always there whenever i had doubts or wanted some advice on how to improve. truly, can't thank them enough.

finally, magoosh proved to be a one-stop solution for everything i needed. i did not have to take up any extra books for my preparation. and don't forget to revisit the questions you got wrong. solving them is as important as eating your veggies. i mean it!

special mention to chris lele's vocab wednesday playlist on youtube, magoosh's free flashcard, and vocab apps.

gave me a strong overview of the types of problems and how to solve them. good way to ensure you have a structured study plan.
