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.

I previously scored a 670 because I ran out of time. Magoosh helped me get better at time management and get done with questions in a quicker way. for verbal, Magoosh helped me get better at identifying errors and at eliminating wrong options with ease.

Although I didn't follow it all three months, the math focused study plan was really helpful to focus me as I got started (I followed it through watching all the videos and then used Manhattan books my friend gave me to revisit the material--watching all the videos again was really daunting.) The math videos were incredibly clear and easy to understand, and I loved the way problems were interspersed in the explanations.

How did Magoosh help you?
There was a 6 month gap between when I first took the GMAT and my second attempt. Magoosh helped my get back to my old level of maths competency from my first attempt and helped my get to the next level for my verbal, which was exactly what I was looking for.

Magoosh broke down all of the lessons that I needed to learn into small, approachable chunks so that I didn't feel overwhelmed by having to teach myself all of the topics.

I started with a 550 in a practice exam and Magoosh helped me improve 160 points! I used the 3 month beginner's plan and I liked how everything was outlined for me. The practice questions were great and the video explanations were extremely helpful in helping me understand difficult math concepts. I also liked how responsive the Magoosh team was whenever I had a question. Overall, I thought it was a great course and I am happy I chose Magoosh.
