GREAT program. Thank you for creating a helpful and detailed program for the GRE. I wasted A LOT of money on a private Princeton Review tutor which did not help at all. Their online student center did not help much either. This program is WAY cheaper yet better. Thank you so much! Love the blogs and youtube videos too.
Very COOL Interface…. I was actually hoping for a dedicated “Lessons” section for a quick review of all the basic concepts….it really helps… I recommend magoosh for all gre aspirants !…..Worth every penny =)
Thanks so much! You guys have been a tremendous help in my GRE prep. Wish I would have found you sooner! Love the lessons because I need the visual support. This was much more helpful than all of the review books that I bought! Please keep up the great work. It was certainly worth every penny & I’ll be posting some reviews on Amazon.com for you guys to get the word out!
Thank you for making these lessons. I love how as a whole, they start at a very basic level not assuming that everyone taking the GRE has had the same amount of exposure to math. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has seemingly forgotten some simple mathematical rules and know-hows due to many years of disuse.
I found your ‘GRE Math Tricks’ videos on Youtube about 2 days ago. They are *really* great, and I plan on watching the videos you have for the GRE Practice Exam math questions. I’ve also speed-read through your blogs and am using your 7-day trial, and I can only say I wish I’d found you a month ago (as I take the exam in a few days). The little I’ve learned from you in the past few days has been tremendously helpful and eased some anxiety about the exam. Your current sale price is excellent. Thanks for putting some great thought (and character
) into your product.
Thanks Josie!
Magoosh is very well designed and user friendly. Overall, I found it very very helpful for my GRE preparation. Great job! Thank you all for your support!
Thanks Suriya!
Recently I just took my GRE and the scores are just at moderate level, and when I decided to retake the exam, and began looking for reliable sources. Out of the blue, I stumbled upon this Magoosh website. The most attractive part was on the way the lessons and explanation for each questions conducted; through video, which is a lot easier and more convenient compared to spending time reading and figuring the work out on my own. In fact within 2 weeks or so I managed to cover most of the basic topics and hopefully by the December 1st (next exam date), I could raise up my scores. Overall, highly satisfied with the product. Cheers

Good luck on your upcoming exam!
Hello, first of all, I enjoyed using the video explanations on verbal and math. However, I was wondering if you have some video lessons or strategies on the writing section as well. It seems that your program could be perfect if you can include the writing tips and explanations on issues and arguments. Thank you again for all the great strategies on the math and verbal section of the videos, though.
Hi Joseph,
Stay tuned, lessons on writing will be out in about 1 week! Thanks for the kind words.
I haven’t touched math since I passed out of school 12 years ago, and I have to take my GRE in less than a month. Magoosh is the only reason why I haven’t lost my sanity..yet. I love the way you break down mathematical concepts… you guys make it seem so simple. You also cover probability and permutations and combinations–something GRE prep books don’t cover in depth. One question though, what about functions of graphs, piecewise functions, and weird-looking formations on the coordinate plane, etc? Do you have any tutorials on that?
Thanks Anjali!
We have a section on Coordinate Geometry but we haven’t covered items like piece-wise functions as we haven’t seen many of those types of questions in official material.
The Magoosh GRE prep Program is the best out there. I have not studied math in 10 years so I have basically forgotten almost everything about math.
Magoosh helps me through every math topic with lots of illustrations and examples and if you find something hard to understand, just send them an email and they will help you right away.
Words cannot express what I want to say about this program because at first I was a little unsure about it, but once I had the trial version, I was glued to this program.
It’s easy and accessible any time you want.
I personally applaud Magoosh team for coming up with such a spectacular program.
P.S. Take the premium offer, it’s insanely affordable.
Thanks younus! Our team truly enjoys helping test takers.
This website should be on a billboard. I earnestly recommend this program to any one who is either scared or worried about taking the GRE. I also recommend it to those who have a natural drive to excel and want to, in slang terms, “beast or own” the GRE. I am a frugal person and this information is priceless. If you have even a moment of hesistation in regard to this software or blog or pricing, perish the thought. After you’ve used the resources that this site has to offer, pay it forward and recommend it to others. No sense in being lonely at the top =). (which is where, if you are serious, this program will take you) To the creators and collaborators of Magoosh- Thank you.

Wow! Thanks Dorothy! I’ve never heard “beast or own” before, but I like it
I like it when Magoosh takes a holistic approach and even encourages us to look at GMAT / LSAT materials, whatever that is useful.
Also, kudos to Chris for his videos on the verbal section. When he thinks aloud, he thinks like a student…so thats fantastic.
Also, the blog is a treasure trove of information! Highly recommend everyone to plough through it assiduously.
Would be great if we had more quality verbal practice questions (especially for sentence completion).. I mean the advice already given so far, i.e. read in-context from good sources is invaluable
Thanks for the feedback Sebastian! We’ll certainly look into adding more verbal content. Btw, we just added some AWA lessons yesterday!
I have never seen such lessons, they are really simple and helpful.
I really do suggest them
Thanks obie!
My journey with Magoosh cannot be explained in the short space here. I would suggest that you check out my blog at useducationdreams.blogspot.com. I have described (in fact, am describing) my whole learning curve for GRE and aid I got from Magoosh. I have created this blog after being a member of a GRE Club. What I love doing most is visiting other people’s blogs, reading their posts, and then commenting how Magoosh can help them, like with the recent AWA videos. Likewise, I have suggested many other things like study plans, vocabulary material, etc. available from this site. Magoosh was an indispensable aid to me, and hope it reaches everyone I want it to reach.
Thank you, Magoosh.
Thanks for being part of our community Siddarth!
I took my test today and got a bit higher than the scores I needed so I am very happy. My math was far older than the other posters mentioned so the Magoosh video lessons were invaluable to me. I’m not a fan of spending huge amounts of time or money on review courses so this inexpensive, individualized approach was perfect for me. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Jill!
I just took my GRE and I aced the verbal thanks to Magoosh tutorials. I used the 30 day study guide to prepare. Thanks!
Thanks Emma!
While the information presented on this site is very professionally presented I found that personally the math sections on my GRE weren’t representative of the material on this site. I would hazard to guess that this isn’t all that common, but my math section was full of data interpretation and very little actual math at all. It was frustrating.
Hi Darrin – Thanks for sharing your feedback! I’m sorry to hear that you GRE experience was so different that others – this is certainly not the norm. Did you face 3 math sections? If so, one would have been experimental and that may have been the one filled with data interpretation. If you’d like, send us an email at support@magoosh.com and we can follow up with you personally.

Its been almost 2 months since I gave the GRE, but I’d still recommend Magoosh to anyone who wants to prepare for the exam. It definitely is the best out there in terms of content, quality of questions and video explanations. The Math lessons were the best of the lot. Even though certain topics given in the ETS official guide were not covered, there is no reason to be concerned, since those topics were not questioned in the actual GRE.
The fact that you could customize your practice sessions every time you practice was the biggest plus point. My weakness has been not being able to complete the sections on time. But with constant practice on Magoosh, that was a thing of the past.
Besides having the best software for GRE prep, Magoosh has a wonderful support team. Whenever I’ve had an issue or some query, the support team was quick to answer and help. Thank you a lot for everything.
I just got to this problem in the Math practice: In a group of 200 workers, 10 percent of the males smoke, and 49 percent of the females smoke. Quantity A was the number of male and female smokers and quantity B was the number 59. I understand your explanation of the problem, but can I assume in a math problem that if they suggest there are both male and females, there actually are? I believe this problem would be different if there were in fact 0 females or 0 males. Thank you very much for your help!
As a side note, I’ve looked at books and classes (although not for the GRE) and this program is by far the best I’ve seen. The problems are on point with what the practice test on ets.org was and I think you have a great system. I’ve recommended it to the other four people I know working on their GRE or GMAT. Thank you.
