Question bank is incredible, the ability to do a practice problem, go back and see a video explaining it, then go to lessons that are related is hugely helpful.

Magoosh was recommended to me by a friend, and I'll be sure to recommend it to anyone thinking of taking the GMAT.
In particular I liked the huge database of questions with dedicated answer videos and the study guides that gave my revision some structure.

I loved the videos for reviewing my problems. Every day I did either 31 math questions in 62 minutes or 36 verbal questions in 65 minutes to prepare with timing. Then, I would review my answers with the great solution explanations and videos.

I'm a psych major so I haven't had any major practice in math since high school. I got a 540 and 31 Quant score on my first practice test. 1 month and a half later I surpassed the 700 barrier, Magoosh's math lessons were extremely important, I did about 8 lessons and 30 practice questions daily (all quant), plus the cheaper official CATs were amazing value as well. Overall I just used the OG, Magoosh and the official CATs for my practice and I got where I wanted in half the time I expected.

I benefited a lot from the chart explaining which math appeared on the exam, and the GRE formula book. I also used five tutor sessions, which were helpful.

Magoosh was a tremendous help. The math lectures were basically perfect. From the subjects covered to the order of subjects to the method of explanation to the length, there is nothing I would change. The focus on what matters for the test (rather than every little detail) and on the efficient way to solve problems was especially helpful. With respect to the adaptive online question bank, I particularly liked (1) the combination of written and video explanations and (2) the discussion in the text of multiple ways to solve the same problem.

I can't say much about your verbal offerings because I made only very minimal use of them. That was not due to any weakness in them but rather an assessment of my own needs going into the test.

Magoosh was great. I started with a 590 on one of the Official GMAT practice tests. Magoosh, one of the best and most affordable options, helped me achieve my minimum goal of 700 within 3 months!

Funnily I mostly used Magoosh for the math section (I felt I didn’t need to study much for verbal), but I think going through the videos gave me a lot of math tools and without that my math score would have been much poorer.

I can’t thank you guys enough! My jaw dropped when I saw my score because I couldn’t believe the jump. Your videos walking through each topic, and especially those for each practice problem, made a world of difference. The course offered the benefits of being in a classroom with a smart person while still being able to study solo. Also, as someone who is competitive with herself, I loved seeing my estimated score ranges on my dashboard.
