It was the best vendor for customizing practices. I did all of the difficult problems and I think it set a very good foundation for what I could expect. The video explanations were very helpful since sometimes it's easier of someone explains it to you than having to read an explanation.

The organization of the Magoosh videos was great. The best part about the Magoosh GMAT program is the video explanations for each question in the question bank. This was extremely helpful as reading the explanations in the official guide can be particularly draining. Also, when doing practice questions, it was nice to be able to filter by difficulty level, answered vs unanswered vs incorrect, and practice with or without the time constraint.

The video explanations were incredibly helpful and real-time feedback about questions I got wrong and concepts I needed to explore further. I also got great support from the team when I reached out with a few specific questions. Other companies' material and resources can feel intimidating, but Magoosh felt friendly and gave me the sense that it was rooting for me the whole way. :)

I had a very limited amount of time before the exam and as many other students was struggling with the Critical Reasoning Section, but just listening to Magoosh lessions on that topic for one time allowed me to get into 94th percentile on Verbal and get an overall score of 730

Magoosh was extremely helpful! I'm not a native English speaker and was struggling with part of the verbal content. I used Magoosh for one week, right before the GMAT, watching videos whenever I could (on my way to work, before going to bed, etc.). I wish I found it earlier. The videos are very straight to the point, contents are easy to find and there are videos explaining every question, which helps a lot to understand the logic behind every topic. I think that's what made the difference in my score. Thank you so much!

I only purchased the verbal part of GMAT less then three weeks ago. I finished all my questions and the videos are very helpful. I have tried so many other stuff, but certainly, Magoosh is super helpful to give you a totally different understanding of GMAT and how to choose among those questions that you have no idea how to differentiate the tempting answers. Less than three weeks, I got 6 points increased on my verbal, I am very satisfied.

The lesson videos helped me brush up on material I had not seen in nearly a decade. The plethora of multiple choice questions allowed me to put my understanding of the material taught in the lesson videos to test and helped me grasp the feel of GMAT questions. My study experience was extremely enhanced by the videos provided for each multiple choice question. Not only did these videos help me identify where I was making my errors, but they gave me insight of how to tackle different types of questions.

The lesson videos and problem reviews were invaluable. However, the custom problem sets, which allowed me to create daily timed quizzes that were adaptive based on my progress, were most helpful for me.

Magoosh provided by far best practice material. Forget about anything else, it's just all empty propaganda. Magoosh will present you with relevant practice problems at such difficulty level that will get you in to perfect shape for the GMAT, in fact you will probably find the GMAT most difficult quant questions to be a bit on the easy side.

Maybe two most beneficial aspects of working with Magoosh for me:

1: you gave me an overview of the relevant topics for the exam. It was great to have this overview and the Magoosh practice site with me wherevere I went, it was just few mouse klicks away.

2: You pointed out to the tipical traps in the questions and errors commited by the candidates.

Many thanks for what you did for me and keap up the GREAT WORK!

I started out with only the faintest memories of high school math. I work in a very qualitative field so I knew I had a lot of ground to cover. Magoosh lessons helped me tremendously, building actionable test taking strategies on great fundamental lessons. I particularly liked the video answers for every problem.

Long story short, I went from a 610 diagnostic test to a 760 in the span of two months and I couldn't have done it without you guys!

To begin with, Magoosh has helped me immensely to set up a strong base for grammar. Grammar/Verbal preparation can sometime be so intimidating that one often wonders where should I start from. Magoosh with its structured approach sets up the base for verbal preparation beautifully and it really helps you develop an approach in tackling questions. I enjoyed every minute of the verbal lessons especially the sentence correction module. To encapsulate it in one word: Brilliant!!
There is little doubt that if I do decide to give GMAT another shot to improve my score, there is little doubt as to what my first choice would be!!
Keep up the good work and I enjoyed my preparation thoroughly.

Magoosh provided excellent resources that helped boil down the GMAT into easily digestible pieces. The most helpful resource is practice questions, and Magoosh had a large amount of those. I love the videos that follow each question. It was so helpful that practice questions identified which lessons were related to them so you could watch the full topic lesson if you needed to understand the topic further.

Magoosh is the best online prep resource I have ever encoutered; for a fraction of the price of many other online prep materials, Magoosh provided me with invaluable access to a series of videos to build my knowledge foundation, and further enhanced my understanding by tons of complementary prep questions. You are the best!
