How did Magoosh help you?
I can't thank Magoosh enough for my 710! I used a combination of tools but I credit Magoosh with much of my progress because of the detailed, easy-to-follow explanations. There are a lot of services that offer practice questions but Magoosh helped me clearly understand what I was doing wrong and taught me strategies for how to work faster and smarter. Also, the ability to customize practice sessions by category and difficulty was incredibly helpful when I needed to zero in on problem areas. |

I think Magoosh helped me a lot with the Quant section, though I made a few careless mistakes during the actual test (clicking wrong answers). |

Magoosh helped me to improve my math skills. I liked that the question bank could be set in so many different ways, so that you can focus your practice on your weakest areas. |

Awesome, I had very little for preparation and the excellent video lessons as well as the practice questions with video explanations took my score from mid 500's to 680. I owe everything to Magoosh. |

The lesson videos explained the mechanics behind the necessary math very well. Having video explanations for each question was a huge help also. Previously, I used another self study online prep course and they only had written explanations for answers. For some reason, written explanations did not register as well with me and I wouldn't always understand how they got from one step to the next. With the video explanations for each problem/answer I was able to SEE and HEAR the process, which helped me understand the logic/math much better. Also, the help team was great and always provided timely and thorough advice. The question bank was great with a nice range of easy to very hard. I loved the "score predictor" aspect because it gave a nice guide of where I was, and whether I was improving or not. Turns out, it was rather accurate (my score predictor ranges were 41-47 and 35-42 respectively, I thought no way I'll get that high on math and no way I'll get that low on verbal. Well, I got 44 and 38, literally smack dab in the middle of each range). Lastly, the study plans were awesome. Gave a nice organized structure for my approach. I used the 3 month math focus. |

Magoosh was extremely useful for me in improving my GMAT scores from 570 to 640. The video lessons are an excellent resource, the questions are very similar to the actual GMAT questions, the answer explanations are well organized and clear. Support is EXCELLENT, they reply in a timely manner and provide useful clarifications and insights. I strongly recommend anyone who wishes to improve his score to join Magoosh. You won't regret it. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh played a primary role in getting a much better score the second time around. The instruction video lessons and 900 questions with videos were a tremendous help to me. Magoosh was exactly what I needed. I improved in every section as a result of Magoosh. I just wish I found it before I wasted my time using the Kaplan and Princeton review books like I did the first time around. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me tremendously. I owe much of my success to Magoosh. It truly gave me that confidence in feeling prepared to take the GMAT. Before I signed up for Magoosh, the quantitative section gave me a real hard time, especially DS questions. I used Magoosh's 3 month math-specific study schedule to tackle my weakness in Math. I did all the problems, reviewed them daily, and made sure I understood where I went wrong. I just got done taking the actual GMAT exam today and I received a score of 660 (47Q, 34V). I've never received higher than a 43 on any of my practice exams. I am so happy. All the hard work paid off and Magoosh played a large part in my success. I thank everyone at this website for their help! I can't thank you guys enough! I'm done with the GMAT! tHANK YOU MAGOOSH! =D |

Your product was fantastic because it allowed me to see the broad range of types of questions asked on the GMAT, and it showed me answers to questions I didn't answer correctly. In addition, it took the answers a step further and explained the steps needed to arrive at the correct answer. The written explanations and videos were also extremely helpful. |

I think it helped most in my pacing strategy, and the explanations and videos helped a lot. The best part, however, is that you can set the preferences for the practices to be adaptive, which helps you get in the GMAT zone. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I used the Magoosh videos and practice questions as my primary method of study. I found it very effective at summarizing key concepts and materials tested on the GMAT. The lessons were concise yet provided enough detail to understand the topic. I only had 2.5 weeks to prepare and having been out of University for 7 years I was very rusty on the math concepts and theory. I fit my GMAT preparation in during lunch hours, evenings and weekends while balancing work. I credit Magoosh for increasing my score by 110 points. |

Helped greatly in refamiliarizing myself with the math section. I did not get to use the product fully before my test date, but I'm certain my score would have been a lot higher. Videos are a great way to learn (better than what the competition offers). |

The math videos were outstanding. They offer a solid review of the basic concepts tested in the GMAT. I reviewed my notes several times a few days before the test. The interface looks cool and highly conductive for study. The problems offers excellent practice as well. Much of my prep time is devoted to the Medium and Hard Problems. If I had more time, I could have tackled the 'Very hard' problems. The verbal also offers good practice especially for RC. Although I focused on Quant on much of my prep time, practicing on some RC Passages and doing a lot of CR questions a few days before the test did gave me a good warm up before I appeared for the actual test. Cheers to the highly dependable Support Team as well. Over-all, this product helped me a lot in my preparation for the GMAT. My score is perfectly fine for my pre-experience masters. I will definitely revisit this product once I decide to pursue an MBA in the future and decide to take the GMAT once more. |
