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.

Break down the topics covered by the GMAT
Do it in my own time
The video explanations are the most digestible way to understand how to solve a problem

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.

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.

I started off with a strong foundation and used Magoosh to strengthen my weak spots. The study plans were very useful. The video explanations helped a lot as well. My highest practice test score was 710, so I was very happy with my score.

A good crash course refresher on topics long since dormant in my brain as well as the peculiar question types of the gmat. I greatly appreciated the math approach of building a foundation built upon fundamentals and not just a formula cram session.
