Magoosh certainly helped me practice GMAT question types, particularly with the hardest questions. I particularly liked having videos to highlight strategies in my weakest areas. |

Fantastic math lessons really broke down the concepts and identified important test taking tips and strategies. Loved that there were video explanations for every question. For context, Magoosh brought my score from an estimated 680 to an actual 750 in 1.5 weeks. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh has been wonderful. I didnt have much of an idea about GMAT before I signed up for Magoosh. I read many reviews about Magoosh and also tried the 1 week free version of the product. Within 3 days I signed up for the full version. It was a great decision. 1) The lessons are very clear and teach concepts right from the basics. 2) All the lessons emphasize more on understanding the concepts then just learning equations or stuff, which really helps in over all learning. 3) The practice tests and questions are of good standard. There are enough number of questions to be prepared. 4) THE BEST PART OF MAGOOSH IS THE STUDENT HELP - you just cant beat it. Any doubt you have is cleared within a max of 48 hours. The explanations are detailed and clear. You are always encouraged to ask even the most minute doubt you have. 5) The blogs are also an excellent source of information. If you need to understand some concepts in even more detail, then these are really helpful 5) I used only the OG and Magoosh. I also relied on GMAT club to look for solutions for some problems from GMATPrep exam and OG. I was working full time, couldnt prepare completely and messed up a bit on the exam day. But still managed 720 (Q47, V41). That has been only because of God's grace and Magoosh. 6) The other good part is pricing. It is more on the affordable side. Most of the other preps are over priced. Also I didnt see Magoosh trying hard to prove that their product is better than every other product, unlike some others. There are even blogs where they refer to books of their competitors too. So overall you get the feeling that this is one product where they are equally concerned about the student too, then just their profits. 7) They also took some suggestions I had, for certain questions and modified them. 8) Places where the product could improve : -More analytics, -I had to increase the volume for a few lessons in Verbal -A search box None of these really affect you in a major way and there is a work around for all of those too. 9) There is lot more I could write. Also please note that I have used only Magoosh, so I wouldn't be able to compare it with any of their competitors. But if you are looking for an affordable guide to help you with preparations for the exam, this is one of the best places to start with, if not the best. |

Magoosh helped me a lot. I could easily review the areas that I felt weak at. The amount of material is amazing. I didn't have enough time to go through all of it, but if I had been able to study longer, then I'm sure I would've gotten a better score, especially in verbal. I must say that, I did a mock exam 4 days before the actual gmat and my score was 650. Luckily, I recognized my main mistakes and was able to review the corresponding videos before taking the actual exam, I believe this was crucial for my final score. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I only focused on studying for the quant section of the GMAT for my 2nd GMAT attempt. It is where I needed to improve the most. I watched all of the Magoosh math videos and worked through every math practice problem. It was a long and arduous process but I believe it really paid off. The math videos helped break down different techniques to solve complicated quant problems. I felt much more comfortable taking the GMAT quant section the second time around with the knowledge gained from the Magoosh math videos. I also thought that the video explanations for each practice problem were invaluable. Compared to text explanations in other GMAT study materials (ex. GMAT Official Guide), the video explanations clearly showed me how to arrive at the correct answer using the same techniques that were taught in the math videos. I would absolutely recommend Magoosh to anyone who needs help boosting their quant score. The fact that my scaled score jumped up 11 points in the quantitative section just from going through all the math videos and doing all of the practice problems is a testament to how effective Magoosh is really is. For the price as well, Magoosh can’t be beat. |

Magoosh is an amazing product. The 3 month advanced study guide kept me on track with my studying and gave me the confidence that I was doing everything in my power to be successful on the test. The lesson videos provided the theory behind the concepts so that I had a full understanding of each subject. I would recommend Magoosh to anyone taking the test. Thanks to Mike and the entire Magoosh team. |

Magoosh was the main product I used for preparation. It's been a while since I graduated, so I chose a 3 months' plan for beginners. Daily instructions made it really easy to organize the process and stay on track - just what I needed. I relied almost solely on Magoosh materials, and rarely consulted any external sources (except forums and CAT). Thus I think this is a great plan for those who don't have tons of time for preparation, as all you need for a good score is there in a distilled form :) Excellent content for a great price. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh provided an unbelievable platform to help me prepare for the exam. The questions (particularly the "Hard-Very Hard" quant questions) were much harder on Magoosh than the actual exam and the explanations were exceptional. When I originally started using Magoosh I was more focused on getting as many questions done versus taking full advantage of the explanations provided and the video resources. Additionally I followed the Magoosh "Advanced" study plan with a few modifications and it was incredibly helpful. |
