How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped identify tips and tricks that are particular to the GMAT, whether those were a type of geometry problem that is common on the test or sentence structure that the GMAT doesn't like. I learned a lot from watching the videos and reading the descriptions under the practice problems. |

The online question bank was the most helpful tool that I used in my prep time. The video explanations were unlike anything offered from other vendors. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Eh, I watched literally 0 verbal videos, but I think Magoosh may have helped me on the quant a little - the 710 above is an official GMAT practice test score. I may have needed a bit more time with the material! May retake :) |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh really helped with every aspect of my preparation. The lesson videos, as well as the answer explanation videos, really aided in my progression. The practice tests were spot on and I really appreciated the instant feedback. My highest score on a Magoosh practice test was a 650, and I received a 660 on the GMATprep practice test. These two practice tests seemed harder than the actual GMAT, which really enhanced my confidence during the test...at no point during the test did I feel like I had no idea what I was doing. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh was a fantastic resource to improve my GMAT score. I made a large jump relative to where I was scoring after having gone through a Veritas Prep course before medical school, which was also 10 times more expensive than Magoosh. Even while in medical school, I was able to work through these problems efficiently and score well despite having to balance other academic commitments. Without this course, I would not have received the fellowship making business school free. Thank you Magoosh! |

I really like the test questions bank! It includes questions of every aspect covered by GMAT as well as monitors the computer adaptive feature of actual exam very well. The expected score that the system calculates is very similar to my actual score. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I found the format of your quant practice to be very engaging. The ability to answer a question and then immediately receive conversational instruction on the skills/methods required was great. This format was much more effective for me than working problems in books, where I was constantly slowed by flipping pages between solutions and answer explanations. Furthermore, watching someone write out steps in real time is much easier to follow than deciphering written solutions. |

Definitely the reason I scored how I did. I went from a "below average" of the OG diagnostic test to a 740. Magoosh is responsible. |

I used the one month daily study plan, and it was awesome. The practice questions were fantastic and most were harder than what I found on the GMAT. I got a 650 on my diagnostic scored a 690 on my final practice test, then 720 on the actual exam. |

How did Magoosh help you?
1. The lesson videos, especially the Verbal videos, were clear, concise and well structured. 2. The 'Hard' and 'Very Hard' questions were a blessing in disguise. They were challenging but they made the actual GMAT questions seem easier. 3. I found the study plan to be very useful. It kept me on track in spite of my busy work schedule. 4. The flashcard apps were great and I was able to 'study-on-the-go'. I used the apps frequently in the gym. 5. The blog was a great place for 'extra material', which complemented the study material and questions. Mike McGarry, you're a legend. |
