How did Magoosh help you?
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. |

It has probably the most organised set of questions.The variety offered is of immense help. Magoosh along with Gmat forums should be more than enough for any candidate. |

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. |

How did Magoosh help you?
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. |

How did Magoosh help you?
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. |

Yes! The intensive study schedule kept me on track. When I started working to study for the GMAT, my scores were in the high 500s to low 600s--my math skills were definitely under cobwebs and I couldn't hit a consistent verbal score. Even though I focused on the intensive math program, my verbal increased a ton as well. My highest practice score was a 700, but I ended up scoring a 740! |

The 3 month Verbal Focused study plan for Non-Native English speaker provided me a road map for my preparation. Special thanks to Mike McGarry for his awesome video explantions of the Verbal Questions as well for his Lesson videos. I will also like to thank Kevin for GMAT Tuesday Videos. I also appreciate the prompt reply from Magoosh help team whenever I asked for help. Thanks Steven, Jonathan, Sarah, Bertrand,Nick and Adam. Apologies if I have missed some name as the list is too long :) |

What I really liked about studying with Magoosh is that I could do so flexibly while still working a full-time job. I appreciated the focus on problem sets, which were easy to review and try again later. I felt like I had watched most of the video lessons, but in fact there were still some that I never viewed. That's a testament to the volume of material available and the ability each test taker has to customize the program to fit their needs. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh gave me the tools necessary to always reformulate the question I was being asked. I think that understanding what is the question really asking is 50% of the resolution of the problem, and the video explanations for the problems were so complete that you could always understand what was the real question and what was the shortest path to get to the answer. This helped me in particular in DS and CR. Moreover, the lessons on SC and in particular parallelisms made me increase my verbal score up to 41, which is pretty high for a non-native english speaker |

I only had a month to study for the GMAT and in the first three weeks I was also working, so there wasn't much time to study. Still, by watching all video lessons and did lots of exercises on Magoosh, I managed to get a score of 750 which I definitely wouldn't have gotten without it. Thank you guys so much! |

How did Magoosh help you?
I received late notification about an important MBA opportunity and only had one month to study for the GMAT. My sister recommended Magoosh after her successful GRE prep using the program. I spent almost all of my free time during that month studying with Magoosh and achieved a score within the range I needed on my first (and only) opportunity to take the exam. I would never recommend cramming GMAT prep into one month if it isn't absolutely necessary, but Magoosh helped me make the most out of my limited time. Can't thank you guys enough for putting out such an incredible program! :-) |

How did Magoosh help you?
As a native English speaking Physics graduate, I felt I needed a review of concepts essential to GMAT quant and plenty of practice questions with fully worked answer explanations - and didn't want to pay for a whole load of extra features that I didn't need or want. Magoosh fit the bill perfectly - the lessons and question answer videos were all really clear and well structured. The price point is also very attractive. I scored a 740 on my first try (an improvement of 50 from the first practice test that I took early on in the GMAT 'experience') and the only resource I used was Magoosh. Thoroughly recommend. |

Magoosh simply kicks ass. The combination of very well prepared videos and questions with explanations of the solutions just did it for me. I feel like it didn't just get me a great GMAT score, but also actually made me smarter and more suited for the business world. Studying has rarely been so fun! |

The videos were extremely helpful (esp Mike McGarry's). It's so much easier to understand concepts/solutions through lecture as opposed to test prep books. |
