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.

provided structure

learning the pacing was very helpful, and the verbal part in particular was very similar to the actual gre’s. simply having a similar set of questions available was a great guide.

lots of good math questions!

vocab flash cards were a godsend!

good learning methods

i found it fun and i definitely became more comfortable with the test.

yes, lifted my quant scores

so helpful! schedules, challenging questions, great instruction, practice tests, and easy way to take notes. prepared me well!!

the primary benefit of magoosh was the wealth of practice questions.

between my two exams i did a ton of math practice and watched nearly all of the math videos.

fleshed out my quant knowledge!

going through the math videos was a great overview review of the math topics i needed. i also used the one-month study plan and loved having that guidance.

it was great to practice on the computer using the online calculator. felt like the real test. the lessons were super helpful.

being able to understand multiple approaches to problems and also being able to see explanation for any problem i answered in case there was a faster way. it helped a lot.

math videos were great. i wish i had improved my score a bit more.

i decided to take the gre pretty last minute (one month before my test date) and i was skeptical whether that was enough time to cover everything. magoosh’s structure and thorough study plans and lessons made that more than possible.

questions were useful, math lessons useful

provided resources to help me better prepare for the exam and to be more confident while taking it.

the informational videos were so helpful! i hadn’t taken a math class since high school. really great for explaining math concepts.

test format and user interface familiarity, & a study schedule to follow! math concepts and lessons, verbal question subtleties, vocab, how the test makers think, how to approach different types of questions, how to approach the writing section.

it made me confident.

really helped with quant strategy! flashcards were wonderful

it helped me know what to expect and figure out my problem areas that i needed to study.

it helped me understand how to organize my time on the test and also strategize given its underlying logic/tricks. furthermore all the practice problems helped me review and learn new concepts, skills, etc., which was absolutely necessary for feeling confident and prepared for the test.
