How did Magoosh help you?
I studied for the GMAT by myself, only doing exercises from the Official Guide. I took the GMAT one time and got a 680, but was aiming at 700+. I decided to take it again, focusing on improving my Quant score, and maintaining my Verbal score. The fact that you can take so many new questions, decide in which topics to focus, and have adaptive difficulty as you go was extremely helpful. I got to focus on what I needed to improve the most, learning from great video explanations after every question. I just took the GMAT again, after a month of working with Magoosh, and got to improve my Quant score, while maintaining my already good Verbal score. I got a 700, and really recommend Magoosh to those who don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on GMAT prep, while still getting great quality on the questions, and prep tests. I recommend Magoosh to people who have already started studying, and need more practice. |

Video walkthrough on tougher math problems was helpful. Also Magoosh's explanation of Combinations was much more helpful than anything I had seen before. Idiom flash cards are also extremely helpful |

How did Magoosh help you?
The flashcards were a huge help on a days before the exam.The study plans are well thought out and kept me motivated throughout. Mike's lessons were amazing. Even when I was practising questions from other sources, I could hear him in my head pointing out flaws and wrong answer choices????. The AWA lesson videos were great too. The grammar lessons for sentence correction really helped improve my ability to spot and eliminate the wrong answer choices faster. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Math basics such as doubling and halving were great. The videos presented an excellent basis for solving algebraicly, where other providers stressed picking numbers early on in the lessons. This was helpful for me because I have always been strong in math and preferred the fundamental approach. Sentence correction videos were very helpful, but i feel there could have been more about higher end questions where all answers are very different (maybe strategy). I liked the analysis in the rc videos but would have rather had different passages in different videos. I loved having the video explanations after videos, this is 100% the reason I chose to use Magoosh as my primary prep material. Hearing someone talk through an explanation is a great feature |

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. |

How did Magoosh help you?
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. |

How did Magoosh help you?
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. |
