Magoosh verbal study course is really great including all videos. The questions are carefully selected which gives you feel of real gmat test. Video explanations are great. and explanation is good especially numbers . Practise tests can be improved by analysing data and giving tips where most improvement is needed. Also topic wise performance analysis should be done as in manhattan prep course. Team pays attention to students and replies promptly.also they were generous enought to extend my membership.idiom flashcards znd resources are really helpful. Ithink magoosh should also introduce awa questions which can be checked. Also no of ir questions available for practice should be increased.

Magoosh was great

I tried some practice questions that came with a Princeton Review book and also tried the trial from the economist. Both were horribly slow for the practice I wanted and honestly not good practice.

Magoosh was by far the best comparison to what the actual GMAT felt like. The videos on magoosh really helped me think through the actual problems and come up with actual strategies to improve on the problem types of was weak on. I probably went through some of the questions too quickly, but the video explanations were really good and the overall experience was highly enjoyable. Magoosh was good enough that I almost miss studying for the GMAT (almost).

80 pt increase-The Magoosh Effect

The course is very well structured and concise. Pay attention to the video explanations though, they'll be the most important part of the module. The tricks in maths section are applaudable, the dual explanations makes you find the faster approach, little tips like take sometime to understand the questions and find the best approach(for me it was a good 30secs per question) also contributed to my quant improvement.
I was initially skeptical of the verbal section as the verbal lessons seemed a lot of work and seemed too much in depth than needed.I was not hopeful of a 700+ score i made will to do every single question, saw every lesson and reviewed video explanations of every incorrect answer, the criteria to be eligible for the full refund (50 point improvement scheme). Well, this turned out to be a blessing. The quality of the material is very well reflected in my score.
More than that, the team was very cooperative, they even extended my subscription upon request.
Hence,i highly recommend this course.

Hi, this course is really wonderful. The video lessons were very helpful. All the GMAT topics were covered wonderfully! Also the OG video solution for maths came in handy.
The practice questions helped me a lot in finding out my weak areas. At the end of each session, it also suggested me some video lessons that helped me improving specific areas.
Another thing that really impressed me was their prompt response to my queries, be it related to specific questions or GMAT as a whole.
Magoosh played a very important role in my GMAT preparation.
I would certainly recommend this course to everyone, not just GMAT, but also for GRE. Wish you good luck for future endeavours and do join Magoosh. :)

One of the best features of Magoosh courses is the vast collection of high-quality GMAT-like questions. In fact, there were so many that for days, I just practised the questions without even reviewing the video explanations. However, I got an email from Magoosh that I needed to look into the amazing videos as well. The instructors apparently care for the students. The video explanations are lucid. Whether you require to brush up the verbal and quant concepts or you need to polish your already-built skills, Magoosh caters to everyone's need. The course also provides two mock exams. The course analytics is great as well, and as you progress, it predicts the GMAT score for you. Overall, I am very satisfied with this course and highly recommend it to others.

Good on quant but not so good on verbal

Since I'm a novice at GMAT, I took the course from magoosh premium after searched what online course that can help me to prepare for gmat exam. My target is pass 500 score mark in only one month.
I followed its one month guide, study both quant and verbal videos everyday, and do practice problem from its question banks and official guide. As a result, I can't keep up the study plan because I have a full time job and only have 2 hours on weekdays and 6 hours on weekends to study, while the study plan suggest that you should have 5 to 6 hours a day to study. So I changed the plan to focus only solving its question banks.
The quant lessons is very good, while the verbal lessons is not a game changer especially if you are a non native. The only drawback from the video lessons (especially verbal) is it use a plain text format for the presentation, so if you are a visual learner you are not gonna like the lessons.
Its question banks is top notch because its give you a video explanation on every questions (there are aprox 800-900 question). The explanation on quant is straight forward, it will clear your doubt and often a very hard questions can be solved by simple way. On the other hand, the video explanations on verbal question is not good as the quant's, especially in CR.
In the end, at the exam I scored 440, which is a very disappointing score.
Conclussion: few thing that I like from the magoosh is its quant lessons and its questions bank. If you are a non native who want to improve verbal, try something else.

Each of their questions is power-packed

My first brush with Magoosh came when I watched one of their 'GMAT Tuesdays' verbal videos on Youtube. Being a non-native speaker, I was instantly impressed with their simple deconstruction of complex looking grammar rules. By the time I finished all their videos in the next few days, I knew that Magoosh is my savior.
And when I saw unbelievable discounts on their course via GMAT Club, I bought it instantly.
Although no. of questions in Magoosh Premium Course may appear insufficient when compared to other courses, each question of Magoosh is a gem. For an above average student like me this is big boon as one doesn't have to run through an unnecessary large no. of questions to learn a limited no. of concepts. While each question is designed to teach you a specific concept, the video solution ensures that you remember it on your test day.
I consider myself good at quant yet I was glad to see some very good quant questions along with some super quick tricks to solve complex word problems. This helped me score 50 in quant.
I consider it a must for every non-native speaker. Coupled with Magoosh GMAT Blog, Magoosh Premium Course helped me score 42 in verbal, boosting my score to 770 overall.

An ESSENTIAL component for any self-learning GMAT preparation

To be fair, I did not sign up for the Manhattan GMAT in-class course, and I know how popular that is, so I can't directly compare to that course, but surely like many people, I was initially hesitant about taking a self-learning course (who was I going to ask questions to? would it be enough?) especially since I really wanted to just take the test once and be done with it versus having to take it repeatedly and thus waste my time that I could be doing other things.

For me, thinking my experience:

DO use Magoosh if: you are self motivated to study. All of the concepts on the test are covered. The practice problems are great, the video explanations for each problem are easy to understand, and for those extra tough questions, they answer your email questions within 48 hrs. I don't really know what I missed out on by NOT taking an in-person class.

DON'T use Magoosh if: you need a structured plan to keep your butt on track. Having a full-time job, I totally that's hard. For me, I started waking up at 6 AM so I had an hr and half before work to prep every morning, and spent ~1-2 hrs in the evening. Of course, I also studied on weekends.

Altogether, materials I used:
- Magoosh Premium ($200 for 1 year)
- MGMAT CAT/ Question Bank ($75 online)
- 2016 Official GMAT Guide
- 2016 Official GMAT Verbal Workbook (bought mistakenly but still used lol)
- GMATPrep (2 free prac tests, 90 questions free with signing up for GMAT test)

To reiterate, If you know you don't lack self-motivation to get your butt up in the morning to study, then I can assure you that conceptually and in terms of content, Magoosh covers everything you need to know.

If you need a class to keep you on track and are cool with spending the ~$2k on an in-person class, then go for it. Otherwise, spend the $200 on Magoosh, create a plan, stick to it, and spend that $1800 on a nice gift-to-yourself after the test.

I got to know about magoosh from google while i was searching for GMAT preparation sources. That time i tried its free 7 days trial but was not convinced. After few months one of my friends reccommended magosh to me, after i was done with some 80% of my basics. But i was struggling with my score. initially it was Q43 or 44. Then i did practice questions from magoosh Quant , plus checked a few videos on Pn C, Statistics etc. This way I improved my score from Q44 to Q49 in less than 2 months and now I am trying to step it further to Q51.

Really liked the Magoosh gmat prep course. The questions were very relevant and best were the short video explanations to each question. The explanations really help you improve your concepts. I really liked the short video lessons for on each small relevant topic in quant and verbal. Their customer support team is very prompt and reply to any query/doubt within 24 hours. The website UI/UX is excellent and very smooth to use. I love the way they have set filters to choose which kind of questions to practice. I loved the course. Magoosh really helped me improve my concepts and get a good gmat score.
