How did Magoosh help you?
I spent several months studying for the GMAT prior to signing up for Magoosh. In the first few months of preparation, I used a range of GMAT prep books and only saw moderate improvements to my score. I then signed up for Magoosh and used a six-week study plan that I developed with the help of Magoosh. I found the video lessons and the customizable practice questions to be extremely unique and helpful. The large inventory of questions allowed me to practice (as much as I wanted!) question types that I was struggling with. On test day, I felt extremely prepared to answer the official GMAT questions. I completed the test with ease and saw a 100 point improvement with the help of Magoosh. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I only had three weeks to prepare for the GMAT. I hadn't done any standardised exams since college, which for me was almost a decade ago. During these three weeks, I worked a 12 hour-a-day job and travelled extensively for business, so my study time was very limited. Having looked around online, I signed up for the 30 day Magoosh package, which was the shortest course available anywhere. It proved to be a great investment. Without enough time to procure a copy of the OG, I used Magoosh materials almost exclusively, and got a 770 first time. The videos were concise, the iinstruction was professional and unwavering, and the practice problems were comprehensive. Especially useful features: video transcripts, allowing me to skip ahead, and ability to watch videos in accelerated mode. I probably still don't know what Mike's and Chris's voices sound like in real tempo! Thank you for a wonderful product, which I would highly recommend to others! |

I only used it for the math and IR parts so can't comment on the English. The lessons really helped with learning the relevant concepts and strengthen my math skills. The quiz mode questions were very helpful in simulating the actual exam. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Mike's plans were great! I started with the 3 month math heavy and then switched to advanced half way through. Hard and very hard questions were much more difficult than questions I saw on the test so I had a lot of confidence in the actual exam. Loved the videos as well and being able to watch them at 1.5x speed was a huge time-saver. Thanks Magoosh!! |

The videos with explanations for every single question were incredibly helpful. The instructors were all fantastic and, although I didn't need to, I felt that I could easily reach out to Magoosh if I encountered any issues. I also (mostly) followed the provided study guide, which was really helpful in timing everything efficiently. |

The videos at Magoosh definately help in building a solid framework about all concepts that are rested on the exam! Although I made some slight modifications to fit my schedule, the 6-month plan helped me tremendously to achieve a 710 on the GMAT! |

The video explanations and lessons were absolutely brilliant! They provided clear and concise approaches to all the different problem types one could face. The diagnostic review was very useful, as it allowed me to pinpoint areas of weakness. The blog posts on breathing, managing anxiety etc. were also of great benefit. |

I am deeply indebted to Magoosh. Magoosh 3-month advanced plan helped me to be consistent in my preparation. I followed it religiously and my score went up from 660 (Mock CAT) to 730 on actual test. Magoosh provided the necessary support and guidance throughout my preparation. Magoosh videos explains things very nicely which further helped me to strengthen my weak areas. Thank You Magoosh. |

I really enjoyed the combination of available options, ranging from the videos (with the option to track understanding within them), sample questions within the videos, and customizeable practice formats. Combining these really helped me attack my knowledge gaps from multiple angles. |

Video lessons were very informative and the practice questions were extremely helpful. The videos covered the GMAT syllabus very well. Many of the concepts shared here are not available in any of the other course material. |

With the limited prep time and inconsistent weekly schedules I had, Magoosh was the ideal solution – the mix of self-study videos and practice problems allowed me to learn at my pace on my schedule, digging deep on things I didn't remember while skimming the more basic concepts. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me by giving me an interactive study process. Watching the tutorials helped remind me of little tricks, especially for math. The vast amount of practice questions allowed me to practice those tricks. The answer explanations were the most helpful of all. By supplying the explanation as to why verbal answers were wrong I was able to understand the mistakes I was making and correct them. The math explanations helped me understand I was making stupid mistakes and assumptions. This helped me slow down and pay attention to the whole questions. I honestly tried to study with books before moving to Magoosh and felt flustered and stagnant. I genuinely believe Magoosh helped me get the 700+ score I desired. |

The key to preforming well on the GMAT is having enough material to practice. With over 1000+ practice problems, Magoosh was able to test my understanding of Verbal and Quant from every angle to make sure I was prepared. When I answered a question incorrectly, the thorough explanations were able to help me understand where I went wrong. If I did not fully understand a topic, I could use the suggested videos at the bottom of every practice problem to review the areas where I was struggling. I would highly recommend Magoosh to anyone planning on taking the GMAT (or other standardized test). |
