Magoosh is simply amazing. Magoosh provides well-organized lecture videos for every concept tested in GMAT, alongside with problem sets with full video explanation for every problem. These video solutions are my favorite part of Magoosh, since I not only get a chance to test my newly learned concepts, but also learn the most efficient way to approach every problem type. Magoosh also gives you other external resources, such as 1 month, 3 month, math-heavy, verbal heavy study schedules, numerous booklets with essential information, and many more. I've picked up the Premium package, and I sincerely believe that you will get the most bang for your buck if you go with Magoosh.
Magoosh is an awesome tool to prepare for the GMAT. They have video lectures, as well as video explanations that are quite helpful in figuring out why you got a problem wrong.
Overall a great course, but here is my constructive criticism:
The only downside I found was that the daily study plans weren't too organized. They talk about doing the "next 20 problems in the OG" so you really have to keep track of what number you were on. I also think there is a bug in regards to there problems -- once you redo your incorrect problems they show up as correct and boost your overall score. A lot of little things can be improved, but the overall concept is good!
I really like Magoosh. Definitely the best bang for the buck I found in terms of test prep. I have not taken the GMAT yet, but Magoosh GRE took my Quant from 65-pct to 75pct and my Verbal from 87-pct to 97-pct.
I am looking forward to a similar improvement on the GMAT.
I highly recommend Magoosh. Compared to other test prep software I purchased, Magoosh provided the greatest improvement per dollar cost. The videos are very helpful the quizzes are highly customizable for your specific needs, and the simulated tests do a very nice job of imitating the actual test feeling. Try Magoosh!
So far this has been a good product and I am happy with my purchase. The one downside is I subscribed to it thinking it would contain everything I need to study for the GMAT (Tests, Books, etc) however when I went in to look at its study plans they rely on you to buy the MGMAT series, and the GMAC official guide which end up being about $200 extra. However had I known this before I still probably would have bought the subscription.
I like its structure. The price of this program is still much cheaper than any in person class, which I am not sure is necessary for all test takers.
I have using magoosh for a month now and it is one of the best resources to learn I have come across.
The magoosh team is helpful with useful timely tips. They also reply back in time the next day and are very interactive.
The best part is the solution videos. So every time you commit a mistake you can check the video instantly knowing your mistake. The mobile version is good to revise concepts on the go. The score predictor is an excellent tool to gauge your performance and aim to improve it with every question you solve.
GMAT is still 3 months away for me. Hoping to work it out with Magoosh and achieve my desired score.
I think Magoosh has one for the best resources available to prepare for GMAT. It has more than 800 questions to practice for types of level and topics, which provides much needed flexibility for preparing for a particular topic initially.
I was surprised to see the awesome level of RC questions especially the ones of very high difficulty. Sentence correction section has some great insight on to look out for errors in the stem before going through the answers. They also have great support team, which gets back to you whenever you contact them.
If you're lost and don't know where to start from, I would recommend Magoosh.
I signed up for Magoosh for several reasons. First, it was discounted to $100, a very attractive price for such a comprehensive program. The next thing that brought me to Magoosh was the 50 point score increase. Little did I know that I not only would exceed the 50 point guarantee, but that I would also break 700!
With Magoosh, I increased my official GMAT from 630 to 700 in just under 6 weeks!
Magoosh was absolutely instrumental in my prep. I've always considered myself a pretty strong math and verbal guy, but the GMAT was a different monster. Magoosh's videos were very engaging and the instructors clearly explained all topics. If you are around the 40 range for your quant score, I would highly suggest buying Magoosh, if only for the fantastic math videos. I scored a 40 on my initial GMAT, and with Magoosh I was consistently registering 47-48 on practice exams (and that was with only about 4/5 of the math videos watched).
The verbal is also highly educational. I am a native speaker, but the Sentence Correction videos especially provided many aha! moments that helped me break the 90th percentile (40V).
The videos were short enough so that you could easily sit down and crank a few out if you are crammed for time after class or work. I would highly recommend buying a notebook to take notes on all of the video lessons to review later. Watching just 10 videos a day and working about 15 problems a day was exponentially helpful to my 70 point score increase.
I can not recommend Magoosh enough. Thank you Magoosh!
I started using Magoosh after unsuccessfully using another competitor's program. What I really liked about Magoosh is the in-depth question bank, as well as the video explanations. I really do think that's what makes a difference - being able to see a visual explanation of the problem makes it easier to understand and remember the problem, and steps taken to derive at the solution (at least IMO). overall, I would recommend this program and for only $99, you can't really beat that price...definitely well worth the price!
The only negative thing I will add about the program is that I didn't find that the problem sets had enough geometry and critical reasoning questions...
I shifted to online prep companies after spending over a year in self-study since then I felt I needed focused professional guidance. Like all employed fellows, I have to manage time as and when I can manage. I finally opted for Magoosh Premium since OCT 2013 and have been using it frequently.
I've mostly used the Quant section and found it to be helpful. I need to devote more time to the verbal section, but it looks okay. The explanations after every question are helpful. I think Magoosh has helped me to pace up in attempting questions. The interface with the timer certainly gives you a perspective of the test environment. I still have a long way to go but overall I think Magoosh is a good course for the price they are offering.
I have been enrolled for the Magoosh Premium online for the last 2 months. It has been a great support from then.
Though being an Engineer by profession , had forgotten the 10th Grade Mathematics. But, Magoosh has helped me revisit and also enjoy the same. Especially, few topics like probability, which were once a nightmare. Now, I am pretty confident with the help of Magoosh.
The topics start right from the scratch , which enables any student understand the same irrespective of a math or non-math background.
Yet to explore the whole set. Would continue to have fun learning at Magoosh.
Thank you once again.
