Lots of repetitions, great explanations- way more thorough than anything you'll see in a book. Not to mention Davi was a rockstar in helping me upgrade when there was a technical issue preventing me from doing so. |

How did Magoosh help you?
It really laid out the foundation for math very well and I felt that a really had a good understanding of the concepts and logic. I previously studied using more haphazard materials and techniques. This made me feel much more confident in the math section. |

Tremendously. The video lessons went into excruciating detail about every piece of material the test covered. After watching all of those, I did practice problems every day after work until i ran out, and then used the official GMAT software for practice exams. |

1) Because the service was online, I could squeeze in practice in random "10-minute" gaps: waiting at the airport, riding in and uber, etc. Was easy to find an additional 30-60 minutes to study each day. 2) The 3-month advanced study plan gave me an organized way to tackle my studying. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Better representation of test like practice problems (for quant) than Manhattan. Video lessons were simple and to the point and good at highlighting good strategies. I did practice problems for both quant and verbal, but only used the math video lessons because I already had very high verbal scores. |

How did Magoosh help you?
My first practice exam I got a 610. I used Magoosh to learn my trouble areas and refresh my quant skills; I've been out of engineering graduate school for the last three and a half years. My approach was a combination of the Magoosh material and MGMAT's 6 practice GMATs. I began structured studying at the beginning of May. I studied close to 10 hours during the work week and a MGMAT practice exam (plus corrections!) on Saturdays. Beginning in July, I tapered to maybe 4 or 5 hours during the work week and focused more intensely on practice exams. |

1. Fantastic question banks with great video explanations 2. The grammar lessons conducted by Mike McGarry were absolutely essential in my prep. 3. The name "Magoosh" is fun to say. Try it. Say "Magoosh." Fun, right? |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh was able to break down complicated concepts into something simple. The tricks they taught (dividing by 5s, multiplying digits that end in 5, etc) were all easy to understand and cut solving time significantly. When I need clarifications on answers on the practice samples, they answered promptly and were able to clarify things for me in a way that 'clicked' with me. |

How did Magoosh help you?
- Although I am a native English speaker living in the US, I was struggling with the mechanics of sentence correction. I took a prep class but felt that I was lacking some foundations of grammar. Magoosh's SC videos were absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend them for anyone struggling with SC. I did dabble in CR and RC but was already quite comfortable in those areas. - I also found the Combinatorics and Probability videos were helpful in focusing on the principles rather than memorizing formulas - In general, I really appreciated both video and text analyses of practice questions - Android flash cards were awesome |

The simple user interface and question/review format meant I had an easy and much more flexible way to practice answering GMAT questions whenever I had some spare time--I did not have to wait until I could set aside half an hour or an hour to get into GMAT practice. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I learned a few new tips and tricks from the Math videos, however Magoosh's true value add to my education was the sheer amount of practice it offered. I was able to get more accustomed to the GMAT's style of asking questions, and it provided me with a medium to create a study plan. Studying on your own can be tough if you're not sure what you need to improve on and how to improve it, and Magoosh gives you that opportunity to fix your mistakes by offering a variety of questions and videos to help you. |

I found the Magoosh videos on basics extremely helpful for refreshing my mind on math topics. Sometimes a video is easier to swallow than shifting through another prep book. Video explanations of questions were similarly helpful and seem fairly unique to Magoosh. |
