I still have a good amount of questions to take, but of the 10% I've done (I would guess) so far has been great for all 5 types of Q's.

I find myself rarely, or now that I think of it never (again so far) seeing Cr or RC questions for example and, even after getting the answer not quite agree with the reasoning (or find it's almost 'subjective'...).

For Q's I've been wrong on, I find myself saying "aha" after the explanation, instead of "that is nonsense".

Another item that MAGSH's Q-Bank avoids is the "Hey...this would never be on a REAL GMAT or an OG-question.

*Couple suggestions I would say re: what can easily be improved for better customization - First, I feel that the practice customized sets should let one create a set with however many questions they want in however many minutes, vs. only options for 5, 10, 20, 30, 37, 41 Q's in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, or 75 min

The second, tiny addition I would make if I could would be adding an Easy / Med / Hard filter for practice sets although most Magsh q's are med or hard anyway...).

BOTTOM LINE - GREAT MATERIAL, GREAT QUESTIONS (QUANTITY & QUALITY) & EXPLANATIONS i.e. AMAZING VISUAL AIDS - & IF UNABLE TO ACCESS - GOOD TEXT AIDS AS WELL

My first GMAT degree was 500. For that exam I studied for more than 4 months. I read OG book more than two times and solved all its problems but I always was feeling that something is missed in that book. Something that tells all the categories I need to know for Quantitative part or all the tricks. One week before my first exam I noticed that all I was looking for I could find in Magoosh but it was too late for me. After the exam the first thing I've done was to invest my money in Magoosh. When I was watching the lessons in Magoosh I had a feeling that I found the key that I was looking for more than 4 months. I have my next exam in 3 weeks. I hope I can use what I learned from Magoosh.

This is an excellent course for Math - clear, easy to understand videos that will help anyone in the 500 or 600 level.

Verbal has a great section of videos as well.

Their strong point is Quant and the question bank is one of the best I have seen. For $99 this is a great value for money. Do yourself a favor - don't spend $1000 on gmat courses. This is actually a great companion to the MGMAT books. See their study plans. You can get a good gmat score (700+) if you study hard.

The question bank for verbal is okay - use it to master fundamental s then move on to official questions.

Magoosh was very helpful for my GMAT preparation. I have yet to give the official test but I have already experienced a significant score increase. Starting out with a 450 before my preparation, I achieved a 110 score increase so far and I am not planning on stopping yet. I have been following the 3-month schedule for beginners and I can particularly recommend the daily consumption of the lesson videos that give you an in-depth view on the theory necessary for the different quant and verbal sections.
Magoosh also comes with countless practice exercises with answer explanations for every single exercise.
I found the quant difficulty level to be comparable to the quant section of the GMATPrep test. The Sentence Correction exercises however seemed a little easier.
Keeping this in mind, Magoosh is an invaluable method for boosting your GMAT score for an unbeatable price.

I love the instructional videos, you have the ability to break down and critique any of your weaknesses through their customization tab. However, the real beauty of this course is you can go at your own pace. It is studying made fun. I have never taken a course that was so intuitive and helpful. The other aspect that I love about this course is the team that is there to help you with any clarifying questions. They respond quickly and they are not short with their responses. They take the time to explain to you when you are confused. Thanks Guys!

Magoosh's materials are really detailed and well explained with a lot of practice questions. It helped me a lot to understand the various elements in the verbal section and revise my concepts on the maths section. I would recommend some more IR questions and some more full length practice tests as well. I'm completely satisfied with magoosh course and I'm looking forward to make it to the 700's! Best of luck Magooshers!

Cons:
-Could focus more on strategy
-Although the SC aspect of verbal is strong, CR and RC could be enhanced (although everything you NEED to know is covered)
-IR is covered in the same way as CR and RC, but it could be more comprehensive
-No AWA practice essays

Thanks a lot Magoosh!

The Videos at Magoosh specially on the Sentence Correction are excellent. All the topics are explained in detail and organised in a very easy to understand manner.

The topics align well with the way GMAC prepares the test as well as the GMAT official guide.

The videos on RC and CR are good too but are less impressive when compared to the ones in SC.

Practice questions are well designed and help one with good analytics to understand ones weak areas.

The Quant videos are great too specially the ones on Combinations and Probability. The course has been very informative and I recommend the course to any one who wants to prepare for the GMAT.

Excellent course - videos are very self-explanatory. I have been following the Magoosh study schedule and it has been super helpful. Would highly recommend this to anyone! i think the most helpful part of this course is the videos. I like watching them to understand concepts, especially if i get the answers wrong. If you are looking for a course to do at home - highly recommend Magoosh. The other added bonus is the support. I had a question about something and the response rate was very fast and informative, they are always here to help. I have my GMAT scheduled for end of December - will keep you folks posted on the score improvement! :)

I have been working with many different online courses through my GMAT studies, but have to say that my favorite one has been Magoosh. The idea of having short videos explaining each problem makes you feel like you are in a classroom that goes at your own pace. Overall the software is great for proving you with the data you need for reviewing your mistakes and makes sure that you can access the necessary theory for solving a problem with the click of one button. Regarding the video explanations on the theoretical side, I believe that they be more concise, I fell sometimes overwhelmed with the fact that I have studied for 3 hours and haven’t even finished an entire section. This video theory is good if you have the time to go through all of it. If not I would just recommend to start solving problems and then reviewing them individually with the video explanation of that particular problem. I will definitely recommend Magoosh to my friends. Since it has helped me reach my 650 goal in a timely matter and by really focusing on the subjects that I have not yet mastered.

Watching a video is an easier and a quicker way to understand problems. That is what Magoosh does. They have a collection of good videos for lessons as well as for all the questions. This helps a lot. Reading the solution to a problem is quite time consuming and one may not grasp the actual approach followed in the solution i.e. step by step. Besides, Magoosh has a good collection of questions and a large pool of practice questions with the flexibility to create custom practice tests. This is quite helpful.
However, it would be better if they could include some AWA questions in addition to the related video and also they could give the option to start a practice test with IR section included.
Overall, my experience with Magoosh is quite satisfactory and I would recommend it to others as well.
