How did Magoosh help you?
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.

The videos for the lessons and solutions to the quant problems were tremendously helpful. It all felt very approachable and manageable. The software interface is great as well, selecting which problems to study and where to focus was great. I truly couldn't have done it without Magoosh.

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. Having different options in terms of the study plans was awesome and versatile and having a specific guide to follow gave me the motivation that I needed to sit down and get the work done.

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.

Magoosh video lessons helped me to solidify the concepts needed for GMAT Verbal. I particularly love the Sentence Correction video lessons. These videos are great companion to the Manhattan SC book.

Besides, when I was very disappointed after taking the first MGMAT exam, I sent an email to Magoosh Help, and found them very responsive. The Magoosh Help is a great option to have when you need to make sure you are doing everything right.

Just listen to Magoosh experts and follow their advice. Be patient and you will see the improvement in your results.

Definitely was a huge help. The math lessons were really welcome for me, since math isn't my strong suit. The IR questions really helped me prepare for that section too. All the video lessons and the way the practice test is structured, plus all the video explanations helped me immensely - I went from a 620 in my first practice test (before Magoosh) to 720 in the actual test!

The explanations to the math questions and the tailored video lessons were extremely helpful. I improved over 60 points over my GMATprep score. I took the GMAT twice; the first time I had not studied verbal at all, but the second time, I watched all of the verbal lessons and my score went up by 50 points. The AWA videos were also very helpful--I like how they are all short, manageable videos while also ensuring all important topics are covered. I got a 6 on my essay just by watching those videos.
