I was very impressed with Magoosh for many reasons. The material was great - very informative, relevant and realistic, and video explanations for every problem are provided. Even better was the format, which allowed you to take dozens of computer-based specialized quizzes and section tests, allowing you to focus and hone your skills. The customer service was the best I have ever experienced, with responses usually coming within several minutes. Amazingly, Magoosh extended my subscription for free, since I had not used it much before it was due to expire (I was still focused on my work/research at that time, not focused on GRE prep). After studying for several months using Magoosh almost exclusively (I used Manhattan Prep flash cards too) I got a 323 on the GRE (4.5/6 on AWA), which was higher than I really needed. I would recommend Magoosh GRE premium to everyone, it is a wonderful product!
Magoosh is an exceptional service for GRE preparation. I was on a “crash course” (2 months to take the GRE for my first time – while continuing my full-time job, studying on evenings and weekends only). I signed up for Magoosh and dove into my studies. After 2 months, and after my GRE, I can declare the following: Magoosh is a fantastic GRE prep service, delivering everything they promise, and more!
The Magoosh training methodology is exceptional. The videos lessons are complimented with on-screen pen work following along the script, reinforcing learning with both visual and audible stimulation – a proven method used for decades, and mastered by Magoosh. The lessons are only a few minutes long each allowing for short study sessions and have options for up to 2x speed dubbing to allow quick review of topics you’re familiar with.
The Magoosh practice questions have very thorough explanations for how they got to the right answer, and they also directly link to an appropriate lesson for review if you need more help. The Magoosh website also allows personal notes for each question (and lesson) so you can guide your own memory through your own personal challenges. When I took the GRE, there were no questions that surprised me - Every type of question for both math and verbal were represented in the Magoosh products.
One area Magoosh needs to improve is their Analytical Writing system. The ETS website has published their entire question bank for this area, and Magoosh should do 2 things. First, use those questions directly for their own practice, and second, build a detailed methodology to attack those specific 300 questions. I've provided this to Magoosh, and look forward to them updating their service to be better into the future. Even with this, the score remains 5 out of 5!
Y'all, I decided on a whim that I wanted to apply for a grad program I thought I would never get into about a month and a week before my GRE score would be due. I was bad at algebra and was so overwhelmed by all of the content out there that I had no idea where to start but my practice scores for the quant section were sitting around 137 and I needed a minimum 150. I crammed with the one month prep plan and I PASSED with a 158 on quant. (My verbal was not a concern but it was nice to have all of the practice) It was so comprehensive, they plan it all out for you, and all you have to do is put in the work that they lay out for you. Absolutely worth it 100% will always recommend. Best option hands down!!!
Magoosh provided a study plan that helped me stay on track while studying for the GRE. I tried to use a book of practice problems, but it wasn't until I had the study schedule provided by Magoosh that I really was able to study in an effective way. It also is significantly cheaper than some of the other courses out there and I found it very helpful. The lessons helped me learn content I had long forgotten, and also gave lots of helpful tips and tricks. They only provide 3 practice tests, however I supplemented with the 2 free tests from the ETS website and it was sufficient. I found the math practice problems harder than those I actually found on the test, but I felt prepared because of it. Definitely recommend!
Course is well planned.. Great for beginners and retailers too. Course offers comfort of study and very helpful for non native speakers too.
The ease of use and customization as per your weak areas helps improve score faster.
Easy to use on any gadget helps take course at any place.
Ample of material and questions are available for practice.
There are 200+ videos on each and every topic for Quantitative, Verbal and AWA. There are 1300+ practice questions. For every practice question you answer there will be a Video explanation as well as Text explanation for the same. Even if you have personal doubts, you can always mail them. They reply in a day or two most probably and are really supportive
I have been referred to Magoosh by my sister who have gone through each and every question of Magoosh which has helped her score above 300 in GRE. This has ultimatey also helped her get to the college she desired for. The explaination they offer for every question really makes life easy :-) I would suggest every student planning to give GRE to refer to Magoosh. Its all self explanatory and student friendly.Its mobile app GRE VOCABALORY which i have donwloaded on my mobile is also really helpful. One can refer to the app and strengthen your vocab while you are travelling etc.
For a month and a half I spent hours watching the lesson videos and doing practice problems. When I took the GRE for the second time my Quant score actually went down. My verbal score increased slightly but not as much as I had hoped. Magoosh has a lot of positive reviews so I was very hopeful when I choose the program but I was left very disappointed. If I could do it again I would have chosen a different program. I am going to use the scores I have now to apply to the programs I want to get into because I dont really have time to retake it again before applications are due. If I do not get in this round I will be taking the GRE again and I will not be using Magoosh to study.
Excellent tutorial, I have seen many video of magoosh on Youtube, I am quite interesting in taking this course, so I could improve my GRE score. Which would help me in achieving my dream school in computer science. My aim to score 320+ in GRE general exam. I have taken few mock tests online, Quantitative is not problem for me, I am facing difficulties in Verbal section mainly in Reading comprehension and Sentence equivalence section. My many friends have taken Magoosh GRE course improved there score. I am looking forward to get better assistance from magoosh team in achieving my dream goal

When I began studying for the GRE I had not only I been out of school for a decade, but I studied English in college. So while the verbal section was pretty easy for me, the quant section completely blew my mind. Even in this anonymous review I'm too embarrassed to confess my first score on a quant section. Having come across Magoosh on r/gradschool, r/gre, and r/gradadmissions, I decided to give it a go, as I was in desperate need of help. I began at the beginning and watched every single video, took notes, and completed the practice questions. Magoosh's great explanations and tips for success on the test completely transformed my performance, and my score went up dramatically. The customer service is also absolutely top notch. They answered all my questions patiently and promptly. I can't recommend Magoosh enough, especially if you need math help.
