One word: pacing. Using the program I was able to not only get where I needed to be, but get there on time. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Challenging questions which give an accurate idea of the concepts tested in the actual GMAT, and each with thorough explanations through video tutorials and written explanations. Timed practice tests were really helpful in giving me practice in time management as well, and to boost my confidence for the GMAT exam. Did 3 practice tests in the 5 days before the actual GMAT, scoring from 570 (on first day) to 650 and then to 670. Actual GMAT score was 740. Found this a lot more helpful than the actual GMAC materials. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. |

Different way of explaining material. I used Manhattan Prep before and felt that Magoosh helped fill in some of the gaps. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Before starting Magoosh I had no experience with the GMAT whatsoever. I followed the 4-week program very closely, though I did spread it out over 5 weeks, plus one final week of practice and review before the test. It helped me build my test-taking skills and strategize to perform at my best. The video tutorials for the Quant section were extremely useful in helping me brush up on concepts I hadn't thought about since high school. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I really liked the study plan. There was only 7 weeks between my first test and my second, and I just started using Magoosh about 4 weeks before my second test, but somehow I managed to stay focused and improve my scores by over 100 points. The videos were helpful in suggesting strategy, and I noticed the other place I struggled with was getting used to the computerized exam. The Magoosh practice sets really helped with this. |

How did Magoosh help you?
The online module helped with practice in the sense that it was very easy compared to getting a book out and flipping to the right pages and matching up explanations like in Manhattan. Given it was so easy I did a lot more practice problems which helped my score a lot. The video explanations (math more so) were very helpful. Also, the ability to set up custom practice and review work. All great stuff. |

All the Magoosh practice I did, from questions to flaschards to the actual practice exam, felt way harder than the questions on the actual test. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I followed the 3 month advanced schedule really closely for a few weeks, and then realized I really just needed to focus on math. I appreciated having such a large question bank to draw from, the app and flashcards to use, and the videos on the website. I am really happy that I used Magoosh! |

How did Magoosh help you?
All of the instructional videos, practice questions, and practice question explanation videos were extremely helpful. All of the content that appeared on the test was touched on at some point through the instructional videos. I also used the math focused 3-month study schedule. This was helpful in giving me a plan to follow and provided something to keep me focused and directed. All of the content in Magoosh was outstanding and if ever I had a question about something (even about questions from outside of Magoosh) there were quick and thorough responses delivered by real people. They were even great about responding to follow up questions to make sure I completely understood the question. |

Great breakdown of the underlying concepts Really GMAT-focused as opposed to "general maths" Very close to actual GMAT questions I've found Magoosh to be significantly harder than the actual GMAT! Great UX Love the video format & explanations for each question |

How did Magoosh help you?
I have been studying for the GMAT for a very long time. I went from a 640 to a 690 and finally to a 710. Magoosh was incredibly helpful in that it helped me learn different techniques in both math and verbal. I was comfortable with the more challenging math problems and knew how to tackle different topics. The various lesson videos were great! I also liked how detailed the explanations were for each practice problem. Other test prep programs don't have the level of detail in their explanations especially for their verbal questions. |

Get use to the kind of questions. Check theory elements that were missing to understand how to solve some questions. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me learn tips and tricks to get through problems that seem almost impossible to complete without a calculator at first glance. It allowed me to target my practice to areas I needed to improve in. It gave me resources that weren't available anywhere else to dive deeper to figure out difficult questions. |
