Both lessons and practice questions were really helpful. I followed 6-months study plan with some personalization and it worked out pretty well. I really appreciated video answers to every practice question - they helped to understand the details. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I knew right at the start that I wanted to study by myself, at my pace and convenience. I didn't want to attend classes; I wanted somebody who would offer great material and a handy guide to navigate through the material. Magoosh offered it best, and at their low price, it was really a no-brainer to sign up. The video lessons were useful in explaining concepts. The inexhaustible question bank was amazing - I could simply log in everyday and do a new set of questions. And I loved the video explanations on each question - they helped clarify a lot of mistakes. I started at 590. I ended at 740. |

I like the 3 month study plan. Tried following both beginner and the advanced level for more than two months before just practicing from all the materials. My favorite part was the response from the team when I asked the questions. It was quick and always enough to get clarity. |

It gave me so many useful tricks and strategies to tackle verbal problems. These tricks were ones I would not have gotten elsewhere. Also the video answer explanations were very helpful. |

Magoosh really provided me an extra advantage in filling in some of the more obscure gaps of knowledge. These lesser-known tips and tricks helped me get some of the more difficult questions correct on the GMAT. I believe that it was getting those questions correct that made a big difference in my score compared to the average test-taker. In addition, I completed all of the practice questions because each one of them had a detailed video explanation. It was similar to getting over 1000 individual lessons, which really helped in solidifying my understanding of a concept from multiple angles. |

The 3 Month math focused study plan was brilliantly organized and contained everything I needed to study for the GMAT. It's the reason I achieved the score that I did. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I used the Magoosh study plan as a basis for studying for the GMAT. I chose the math focused study guide since my baseline score for quant was much lower than for verbal. The math lessons and math practice problems were extremely helpful! Magoosh clearly has a deep understanding of the GMAT, and the foundational skills and tips I learned served me well on the actual GMAT. I brought my math score up from a 38 (on GMAT prep software) to a 48 on the actual GMAT. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I used the 3 month "advanced" study guide published in the blog. It was extremely helpful in keeping my study schedule regular and well rounded. The video lessons were perfect for me as I was trying to learn the strategy behind each question type (especially DS). The solutions for practice questions were thorough and easy to follow. Magoosh was the main tool that I used to improve my score over 130 points from the first GMATPrep practice test I took four months ago (630, 41M, 35V). Definitely will recommend to friends! |

Magoosh provided me with amazing video lessons that are far better than any book or text about the GMAT. Both quantitative and verbal lessons have logical approaches that help the student to practice them. |

How did Magoosh help you?
The lesson videos were excellent for providing practical insight into the various solution methods that are used to solve both quant and verbal problems. In addition to the lesson content, the study plans were useful tools to help focus my daily study schedule; without the tools I would have been wading through a sea of content with relatively little structure to follow. |

I really liked that Magoosh had a lot of practice problems with detailed explanations. It was really helpful for me to see where I went wrong and then apply what I learned to another similar problem. I also really enjoyed the video lessons since they helped break down the information into smaller more manageable segments. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I was strong in verbal and weak in quant when I started to study. Using your quant lessons and questions (I think I did around 500 quant questions and 200 verbal questions) I was able to teach myself GMAT math, and improve in the highest-difficulty verbal questions. Magoosh was basically my only resource until about two weeks before the exam, when I started using the GMATPrep software. I have recommended Magoosh to all of my friends who are planning on taking the GMAT. |

How did Magoosh help you?
It was extremely helpful for relearning all the basic math concepts I'd forgotten since high school (and really helped me get over a bit of math anxiety!). I was already fairly strong on the verbal starting out, but Magoosh helped me refine my approach and ended up improving my score from 44 on the GMAC practice exams to a 47 on the actual test. |

I'd say it was the single biggest factor in my success. The product itself coupled with your study plans that exposed me to NOVA Math and gave my studying structure are definitely a huge reason for my score. It's an excellent product and I think is the perfect combination of providing customizable help as well as forcing the student to work through things on their own. |
