How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me understand more about not just about how to approach math problems, but about how to approach numbers, how they behave. This approach took longer to grasp than I think other programs might, but ultimately I think served me better. I love Magoosh and will suggest them to anybody I know studying! Also, I loved Magoosh explanations of problems. Having the written or video option helped me so much, especially on the more difficult problems. I often wouldn't immediately understand one, but then the other would click. So having the two options of explanations was awesome. |

Magoosh provides a very comprehensive set of video lessons and question bank that helped me build a strong foundation on basic concepts. It also provided very useful strategies that helped me improve my speed of solving both the verbal and quantitative questions. I love how the website is designed such that I can customised my study to suit my needs (i.e. Custom practices that allows me to tackle questions in specific topics etc.) The various study plans provided on the blog were extremely helpful as well, and Magoosh apps made it much easier to study on-the-go. I had lesser than 2 months to prepare, but Magoosh made studying a breeze. The Magoosh team also provided excellent customer service and support. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh provided a valuable framework to guide my studies. As someone who wished to focus primarily on Quant during the preparation process, I went through each of the video modules sequentially which provided a very comprehensive review of the content. I began my GMAT study process with a 640 on my initial GMAT Prep practice test and was able to boost my score to 720 on test day. Thanks so much for providing high-quality content at such an incredible value! |

A huge collection of comprehensive and detailed video lessons really helped in my understanding of the various topics in GMAT (Special shout out to Mike McGarry and Chris Lele for their really entertaining lessons). The questions for practice and tests were of high quality and the video explanations provided were also good. |

The topic wise videos were quite helpful. It wasn't possible for me to follow a fixed routine because of my busy work schedule. But the online videos by Magoosh let me prepare at my own pace and time. |

Magooh helpef me build core grammatical concepts, that helped me solve SC question. The free idiom book is an asset given to those who are preparing for GMAT. No course explained idioms in such a lucid way. As, I am strong in quant even I went through the videos of quant. I especially like videos of P&C and probability very much. One thing I can simply say about magooh is that no course on this give such a good course at such a less price |

Math concepts were clearly explained and tips and tricks were incredibly useful. The practice questions are pure gold and being able to practice on difficult questions for the Math section made it easier during the exam. I paid the full $299.90 for the Magoosh subscription and it was worth every cent of it to get that 730. |

Magoosh's videos are a must - especially the math videos. I had been historically weak in CR and Chris helped me understand how to attack each argument. Working through the Magoosh problems were more than enough, especially coupled with the video explanations. Plus, the Magoosh help team is only an email away and would answer any further questions I had. Great product and would highly recommend to anyone studying for the GMAT. |

I highly recommend Magoosh to anyone who struggles with GMAT math. The videos explain everything you need to know in a way that's easy to understand. The study plans were also very helpful and made it easy to stick to a schedule. I wish I had used Magoosh the first time around and not wasted time trying to study on my own. |

I cannot even begin to describe my gratitude towards Magoosh. I am a Swedish student who is currently on two exchange semesters in Australia. My plan was to take the GMAT twice, once during the first semester (16th of June) and one during the second semester, allowing myself plenty of time and practice to reach the goal I was aiming for. With the help of the lessons, practice questions and their explanations available at Magoosh, I was able to reach and surpass my goal of 720 on my first attempt. My first practice test (with GMAT Prep) showed 600. After putting in 170 hours of studying over 9 weeks and relentlessly following Magoosh's study plan, I increased my score with 130 points. It wouldn't have been possible without Magoosh. |

Great videos with Mike and tons of repetition with quant practice problems. The quant problems I saw on Magoosh were more challenging than 95% of anything I saw on the actual quant section. |

The video lessons were just enough to teach me the concept without drowning me in too much information. The plethora of practice questions let me work on my weaknesses and ensure my strengths stayed sharp. I took an unorthodox approach and didn't use any study tool aside from Magoosh (note even the Official Guide) and was able to go from being embarrassed to take a practice test, to getting a score of over 700. |

Magoosh is a fantastic prep tool!! Before I started using Magoosh, I was practically existential in my despair over the task of preparing for the GMAT. I love the videos- both the lessons and explanation videos that go with the practice questions. I particularly found that Mike's combined sense of humor and aura of optimism to be inspiring. I found myself reading the long passages on reading comprehension questions and thinking, "How interesting. I never knew that before." Mike really inspired me to have the right attitude about taking the GMAT. |
