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帮助我跟踪,价格远低于其他测试准备系统。我跟着一个月的计划,每天都很乐意做小碎片。虽然我无法跟上全职工作的步伐(如指导警告我),但我仍然相信Magoosh帮助了我很多。我学到了一般策略(没有自己的答案而不是看口头答案的人数),对时机的感觉,最重要的是,我一直有一个计划遵循,所以我无法猜测自己。

A lot! Especially at the beginning when I needed to get going with my GRE prep: learning all the maths concepts, learning about the content of the exam... It is much more lively and less painful to do this with videos from the Magoosh website rather than with numerous and heavy books from ETS or unofficial competitors! I would definitely recommend Magoosh around me and I'm also considering using the Magoosh prep for the TOEFL which I also need to take.

Question-by-question feedback on the time taken to solve the question, in addition to the answer, gives much more visibility into problem areas that one should work on.

The variety of questions in Magoosh's question bank, combined with video and text explanations which provided a logical line of reasoning, were very helpful. My favorite feature was that I could filter questions and only view my incorrect/flagged answers, which I would incorporate into a custom practice session. The lesson videos in math helped me recall several basic concepts, and in verbal, taught me how to rationally approach questions I was struggling with. The GRE Flashcards app proved invaluable, as almost all of the words I encountered in the actual GRE were covered there. Most of all, the warm customer service was very encouraging.

Magoosh has a lot of different types of questions and they are actually more challenging than the real test.

The detailed explanations that accompany every one of the nearly 1,200 questions were an amazing resource. I improved my combined score by 13 points, not only due to dedicated practice of the Magoosh questions, but also by reviewing the explainations. I never left a question feeling like I didn't understand the topic. This was a big investment of time and energy to watch ever video and do every question but one that greatly paid off in the end. Thank you Magoosh for giving me the resources and guidance to succeed.

Magoosh数学课程是借助我的量技能的乐器。Mike Mcgarry,Math Lesssons教练,并简明扼要地呈现每个主题,并用大量的巨大提示锐化数量。从评估测试到测试日,我将定价提高了12分。谢谢,迈克!
In addition, Magoosh's massive question bank with adaptive difficulty offers a verisimilitude unlike any study material I have encountered. No doubt adaptive difficulty is the best way to study. It was worth every penny!

当解决与填补空白和阅读理解有关的问题时,它帮助我抓住了所涉及的不同背景。通过使用定制实践测试在时间限制下练习问题帮助我改善了我的词汇。此外,与分析写作有关的建议也帮助了我很多。

练习问题的数量和各种非常有用。在问题类型似乎“点击”之前,它需要几百多个问题,所以我很感激有很多练习。计算机界面接近真实的东西,时间信息有助于我看看我是否正在播放。此外,研究时间表帮助了我看看有助于补充Magoosh的书籍。总的来说,我很高兴我选择使用Magoosh作为我的主要学习工具!

With my Indian background, I was always inclined towards math. Magoosh helped me this with around 650 math problems and that was all I ever wanted to for a long time! I actually only picked up on English and it was too late. But it helped me in a way which I found really amazing. Everything was organised and with each problem, you had related lessons. I'm actually kind of going to miss Mike's and Chris's voices!

I needed to get in the 70th percentile in Math for certain programs I am interested in. After using another test prep interface to prepare for the first time I took the GRE, I found myself scoring in only the 38th percentile. I scheduled a retake for about a month in the future and immediately started using Magoosh. After using the math videos, I felt that I understood the basic concept quickly (and possibly better than I did when I learned them 10 years ago). I was able to improve my math score by 8 points and get the 70th percentile score that I needed. Magoosh is a good option because they let you ask questions when you are confused and get an answer quickly via email.

Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without Magoosh. I had absolutely no idea about the GRE and I found out that I needed to take it right away. I used the one month study schedule, which really helped focus my studying and improve my progress. I watched all the lesson videos, did all the vocab flashcards and almost all the practice questions. The video explanations after questions are the best thing; the experts went step by step through the problems and really helped to break down difficult questions.

Magoosh教我许多新的数学概念和中欧iques, especially in integer properties, counting and word problems. I never knew there was actually a strategy for solving those problems about cars moving towards each other. I wish I had been taught all this in 5th grade.

Magoosh正是我需要做准备的东西!经过两年的大学之后,我需要一些严肃的清凉剂 - 特别是在数学上 - 以及包括解释的视频和练习问题是完美的。我只有五个星期的准备,所以我喜欢,我可以在需要使用magoosh的任何步伐。我知道我也没有做得几乎没有它!

Magoosh helped me in a lot of different aspects. First, I came into the test the second time around with a clear strategy of when to skip problems and when to go at them, understanding the format very well. Additionally, particularly on the verbal section, the strategies I learned from Magoosh frequently enabled me to solve problems that included words I had never seen. I felt like I was ready to tackle any type of question the test could throw at me after Magoosh and that confidence presumably helped my score.

Being an engineer, maths has been my forte. I needed guidance on the verbal section. Magoosh's videos on the verbal section were of great help. I found the practice questions to be of high quality. You don't really another study resource for the GRE if you subscribe to Magoosh. To the Magoosh team, sweet job at the product. Keep it up! Cheers. :)

I really benefited from the wealth of questions to practice with, this helped re-tune my brain for the quantitative part of the exam. The detailed video answer for each question was also invaluable for understanding, and closing, the gaps in my knowledge. Whenever I was dissatisfied with a video explanation for an answer (rare!) my questions were answered promptly by a member of the Magoosh team, awesome customer support.

Magoosh helped me refresh math concepts I hadn't seen high school in a clear non-intimidating way. Customer support helped with questions in a remarkably fast and friendly way. I was able to study on my own time so it actually got done. Having video answers was so helpful for someone like me who needs to hear and see to fully absorb it. I love Magoosh am so glad I gave it a try. I will recommend it to everyone I know!

For me, the verbal section has been the major cause for concern ever since the SATs. The main thing Magoosh really helped me out with was with the many practice questions it offered. Practicing these on a daily basis consistently for 2 weeks really got me used to the style of questions the GRE asks. It definitely seems like Magoosh has researched the GRE quite a bit more than other practice guides, because the questions provided for practice are very similar to those on the real exam. The best thing was that every question had video explanations that were given for every question - this really helped me understand the reasoning behind the correct answer to every question. The "Very Hard" text completions were great practice, as they exposed me to what I could expect on the harder verbal section.
Another cool thing about Magoosh is its customer service - it's really helpful! I am grateful because Magoosh helped me by extending my subscription - which proved to be very useful for me at the end.

I was focusing mainly on math because I'm going for a master in engineering and i am a foreigner. I practiced on all the 700 math questions and scored way better than expected. Magoosh teaches you about all kind of questions and it become almost routine. If you make a mistake you can watch the video explanation and understand where you were wrong. you can be redirected to a lesson that explain the math theory behind the particular question. Often times it is useful to watch the video even if you get the answer right to see how Magoosh solved the problem and maybe find a faster approach.
在两周的时间里,我已经准备好了测试,当时它就像每隔一天一样,只是嘎嘎作响问题。测试对我来说比我在Magoosh上找到的问题更容易。我真的很感激。

Magoosh helped me to get a deeper understanding of different topics (particularly the Math section).
The tips and tricks I learned through Magoosh helped a lot to get a better grip of the verbal section.
