How did Magoosh help you?
All the way - Magoosh was fantastic. I knew that, regardless of my score, I would be recommending Magoosh to friends for any standardized test-taking needs. My final score only affirmed my belief. I used Magoosh almost exclusively, supplementing with only a set of seven practice tests from another company and some OG materials (that I probably should have reviewed more than I did).

Your lessons were so approachable. I found myself watching lessons, taking notes, doing problems, then returning a month or two later to repeat the process after taking tests and doing more problems.

Finally - Mike McGarry is an absolute gem. Even though I've never met him in person, he is easily one of my favorite teachers I've had throughout my life. His explanations are so clear and simple that he makes even complex problems approachable and manageable. Between his superb blogs, video lessons, and question answers, I don't know if there is a better standardized test teacher in existence. Magoosh was a great product, but to be clear, Mike was the differentiator. Without Mike, Magoosh would have been good but not great. As much as I love the branding and culture Magoosh seems to have, if Mike were elsewhere, I'd probably follow.

Thank you Mike and thank you Magoosh. Using almost exclusively your program and the OG, I was able to far surpass my GMAT goals!
