How did Magoosh help you?
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.

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.

It's been 17 years since I graduated college. 17 years since I've taken a test. 17 years since I've done any math without Excel or a calculator. The main thing that Magoosh gave to me was the focused study and instruction. The videos are fantastic. I would recommend Magoosh to anyone.

I didn't go straight through and do the while program but when I ran into a problem type I was unformfrotable with in one of the GMAT company books, I'd use magoosh to figure it out. It was very very effective for that.

Very concise videos, and the question bank is very useful in nailing down concepts. I will be taking the GMAT again because with a Q49/V37 I feel like I can easily make some improvements in my verbal score. I will continue to use the quant side to stay polished and look into Magoosh Verbal to master that side of the test.

Magoosh was great in three main issues: i) great math videos; ii) great math problems with awesome explanations and iii) great verbal problems (other verbal problems in the internet are confusing!).

It was tremendous. I got a 480 on your first practice exam- it's impossible to describe how helpful you were. I plan to take it again later and will share more with you

Magoosh helped a lot in teaching the intuition behind topics that are tested on the GMAT. This helped me learn, not just memorize, techniques, which ultimately improved my timing on the exam. Additionally, the study schedules were extremely helpful in guiding my day to day study schedule.

I used Magoosh as a supplement to the MGMAT books. I ended up doing all of the quant and SC questions. The video descriptions available after each question were tremendously helpful.

The general videos and the videos explaining how to solve specific practice questions were hugely valuable! Easy to understand and made the quantitative portion (the most challenging for me) much easier. Loved that I could watch them on the go on my phone. Math flashcards were good for review, too.

Magoosh is the only prep I did between my first and second time taking the GMAT, and it helped me boost my score from a 690 to a 770.

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped by providing a structured plan that made it easier to allocate my limited time. Although life sometimes got in the way, I knew what needed to be done to adequately cover all of the material. The combination of the written and video explanations to all the questions helped to reinforce concepts.
