How did Magoosh help you?
I knew nothing about the GMAT before logging onto Magoosh. I took the GMAT Prep practice test and miraculously did well so decided to schedule test for about 1 month out. I knew I could do well on math so I wanted to get good there quickly. I managed to get 50s and 51s in a week or so of practice working through problems with Magoosh.

Then I started practicing verbal in pieces (while mixing in math questions) and first did critical reasoning, then sentence correction, then reading comprehension. The sentence correction videos especially were very helpful to learn the structure of the questions quickly.

Mike and the team made everything very easy to understand. I took two different classes and supplemented with Magoosh. In the end, Magoosh was a better value and the ultimate reason I cleared 700.

Magoosh in general and Mike McGarry in particular enabled me to prepare for the GMAT in about 6 weeks. I believe that Magoosh is probably one of the best tools available for those who wish to prepare for the GMAT exam in a relatively short amount of time. I would go as far as to claim that the lessons learned in Magoosh will help you not only to prepare for the exam, but also to develop your intellectual capacity at work and in life.

I had took the Magoosh Quant & Verbal Course, and was mostly interested in Data Sufficiency, and Sentence Correction.
The Sentence Correction lessons were very helpful. Since, the SC questions had video explanations, it was very helpful in learning the correct approach to solve the questions.

The DS question bank is great.

Magus gave me valuable tips not only on how to approach the test but also things that did not even cross my mind. The study videos were a great help especially for the quant section.

The video explanations were so helpful when learning how to execute strategies. The course was way better than the Kaplan course I made the mistake of signing up for.

Before Magoosh, I was pretty clueless how to go about studying for the GMAT. I had the resources, the books and was singed up on the forums. But Magoosh helped to clearly structure my study schedule. It helped me drill down on areas that I was particularly weak in.

The lessons were all great, and they reaffirmed my feeling that an in-person prep course was not necessary for me, but what I liked most were the detailed video explanations to each practice question. I reviewed these in detail, for both questions I got right and wrong, to learn tips and shortcuts to the problems and I think this is what really paid dividends.

The very first thing i did after getting Magoosh was to follow the 3 month study schedule. The content in magoosh become more edible when the study schedule is followed. The content is great especially the Quant section . It gave me lots of practice and the feature to revise the mistakes and questions which took too long is really great.

How did Magoosh help you?
I purchased Magoosh to improve my quant skills which were a relative weakness of mine. Mike McGarry's video lessons were excellent - they are succinct, effective and practical. The composition of Magoosh's practice questions were very similar to what I encountered on test day. Customer support was fantastic - super responsive and considerate. Lastly, the accompanying iPhone apps for idioms and math concepts were well-built and really useful on the go. Magoosh was a core part of my retake process and without it I could not have achieved a 40 point improvement. For the price ($79 Labour Day sale), there is nothing better on the market - period. Thank you so much for your help!

The quantitative lessons were very clearly laid out and gave me the information I needed to know quickly. I only had three weeks between exams and it made all the difference.

Magoosh and team are the sole reason for my success! I loved how they have structured the program. It is amazing how Magoosh, with such a small team, responds to emails in detail in such a short time. True Excellence! :D
