How did Magoosh help you?
Maths lessons and practice very helpful, I didn't really use anything else. I think Magoosh represents excellent value for money. I didn't have the time or finances to join a classroom prep class and found the Magoosh videos an excellent substitute. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh's program helped me take my studying to the next level. The comprehensive video explanations on the Quant and Verbal section for ALL questions (unlike Manhattan GMAT) along with the written explanations gave me two ways to understand a problem. Also, the ability to speed up the videos by 1.5x was a huge help as I normally work 12+ hours Mon-Fri so my free study time on weeknights was limited. I credit Magoosh for helping me breach 700 (Q49V36) on the second try only 7 weeks after my first crack at the test - a 620 (Q43V34)! |

How did Magoosh help you?
My previous GMAT score was 670. The custom practice was really helpful. I liked that I could specify what I wanted the questions to focus on and set time limits to get in the habit of pacing myself well. Video and written answers for each questions were also useful. Being able to flag questions let me go back to look at explanations for for questions I didn't understand but may have gotten right just from guessing. Overall I really like Magoosh and will definitely recommend it to friends. Thanks! |

How did Magoosh help you?
The combination of the original Magoosh content and the 12-week advanced plan posted by Mike was phenomenal. The learning videos created an extremely sound base of knowledge upon which to build the rest of my studies. The video explanations to the practice questions were extremely thorough and allowed me to take away the core concepts that I needed in order to properly apply myself on the test. The content of the questions very well mirrored what was seen in the actual exam. Having some of the content available on a mobile device was an incredible feature, enabling me to fit in some practice whenever I had 5 or 10 spare minutes. And again, I can't speak highly enough of Mike's 12-week advanced program. It is foolproof as long as you have the willpower - just do what he says, no excuses, every single day. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh really helped me because it provided a structured platform that delivered the required content as well as valuable strategies, in a very clear, precise and calm way. It kept me motivated and enabled me to focus my studies on the topics I had difficulties with. I can not judge the effectiveness of expensive prep courses, such as Veritas, but I can confidently say that Magoosh, in combination with the free question bank of Veritas and some additional GMAT practice exams, is sufficient to score in the low 700's for everybody. Depending on how good your logical thinking skills are, how well you are accustomed to the grammatical details of the English language, and how calm you can stay during test situations, I believe you can score even higher. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me immensely, I improved my math score to a consistent 49+ after just two weeks of intense study with Magoosh. As someone who learns better by hearing than reading and loves examples, it was the perfect resource for me. It also gave me a lot more improvement per time spent than other methods. |

Magoosh was incredibly helpful. By using this product, I learned a lot of the tricks on which the Official Guide was silent. I went through over 700 practice problems with Magoosh and learned some really valuable tricks. I did not take a GMAT course and I think Magoosh more than filled that void. What a wonderful product. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I realized that GMAT is not all about solving the questions but about understanding the concepts underlying the questions, irrespective of the fact whether you have got your answer right or not, And this is where Magoosh played a major role in my preparation. The video explanation for all the questions is something that really helped me escalate my score, Since it is really exhausting to review all the questions after spending good 150+ minutes solving those questions but once you get a video explanation its no more work. All you have to do is sit back and just watch the explanation videos which are really short & crisp. Moreover the quality of questions that Magoosh provides is one of the best in the industry. The question categorization and detailed statistical report after solving the questions are really helpful. At $99 with a score guarantee of 70 points you cannot ask for anything more. If one uses the resources provided by Magoosh judiciously then one can definitely improve his/her score. |
