I have yet to take the GMAT, but thus far, Magoosh has tremendously helped me to get back into the game. When evaluating the verbal and quant sections of their prep, both are helpful, but quant is where they excel. Their quant videos and eBook chapters are great because everything is explained in a very simple way that helps you to truly understand why things are done in a certain way. Furthermore, they teach different ways to solve problems that save you time and pointless calculations. For their verbal section, this is where I would say they are just slightly lacking. I haven't spent too much time studying for verbal because I have done fairly well in that section, but when I have watched their videos and explanations, they tend to be more complicated than their other lessons. Anyway, I think Magoosh is a well priced and good option for GMAT Prep software.

The videos are very helpful especially when you are traveling to work etc , you can just listen on your phone. Helps lay a strong foundation.

The practice questions are also good. However, I found Magoosh useful to build only my basics and get 600+ on practice tests. Magoosh alone was not enough for advanced quant.

After Magoosh I had to use MGMAT to further strengthen my quant. Of course since I had already gone through all the Magoosh videos studying MGMAT was much easier.

I definitely recommend Magoosh to help with the basics and also the ease of use is very appealing. However, Magoosh alone is not enough if you want to cross 700
If they can add more advanced lessons it will be much more helpful.

Particularly if you can catch a sale (I think they do end of month sales), Magoosh is a great value. The conent of the questions is pretty much on par with MGMAT and Kaplan questions from their text books.

The ability to actually test on the computer and have a more realistic similation of the test environment is great as compared to using a book.

Particularly on math, I found the video descriptions very good. The are very to the point, quick and clear. Verbal videos are by nature a little less useful, but this was where utilizing the email support was great.

I personally needed a big pick up on math, I did every question and most of the ones I missed twice. At the end of the day, I got the score I targeted.

Magoosh course is very helpful as it provides the access thru your laptop or your ipad. I had a question and they replied back in one day. The courses are too the point and the video explanation is good. I have been spending 1-2 hours per day on the course I am seeing a lot of improvement in my English and I am able to understand the verbal problems much better.

Another benefit of Magoosh course is that it is very affordable in comparison and because it is relative new course so they are very very prompt in responding. Thank You

This was definitely a great investment, with the help of Magoosh my score went up by 100 points. The key is that you have to be really motivated and practice every day. The explanations are clear and easy to understand, and the practice sessions are adaptive, so you are really practicing for the GMAT.

Magoosh gives you tips to do math at a faster pace, and the reasoning behind it. Magoosh also gives you pacing tips, which for me was one of the greatest advantages.

The questions on Magoosh are really at a high difficulty, which helps you over prepare for the exam

Magoosh is definitely an amazing service. The course material is neatly organized and relevant for the GMAT prep. The amount of practice problems for all of the GMAT sections is more than enough.

But to be honest, the main strength of Magoosh is how they deliver the quality content - the instructional videos with tips and strategy are value for dollar on their own. When you take the incredibly helpful and friendly staff which is on call to help you with any difficulties that you encounter along the way, you are certain you cannot find a better deal around.

I took a live prep class which was like any other - it focused on teaching you math and making you practice verbal which is useful for repetition, but it has nothing to do with GMAT. Magoosh puts you in the right state of mind and explains the logic behind the exam. It teaches you how to do well with the right way of thinking, which I can tell for a fact is the most important part of taking the GMAT, since I scored decently high by seeing problems that need solutions rather than tasks that need to be solved.

All in all, 11/10.

Magoosh explains all the concepts very well. And most of the videos are around 10 minutes long. In addition, after you attempt a question, Magoosh will suggest lessons that relate to that question so you can see exactly where you went wrong.

The dashboard is another excellent feature. It gives you statistics such as percentage of questions correct, average time you take to answer questions against the time others have taken.

In addition, Mike and his time are excellent at answering your questions if you email them. Not only do they provide the correct answers and methodology but they also tell you exactly where you are going wrong fundamentally.

With a little less than three weeks prep time for the GMAT, I happened upon Magoosh. I watched a couple of their free videos and found them very easy to understand. Based on that I signed up for their premium product.

They promise a 50 point score increase. They delivered. The quality of their lessons and their practice questions questions--especially in the math, helped me put it all together--and quickly. I improved my score from 570 to a 620. Yeah, it's not a great score, but with my lack of math skills and limited time to prepare for and take the test--all while still working--they got me the score I need to get into the program I want. Thank you very much Magoosh!

The Magoosh system is working wonderfully for me. This is my second time attempting the GMAT and Magoosh offers an eclectic mix of content, practice problems and helpful answer explanations.

Each section is broken doth verbal vs math and from there there are significant drill downs into each subject type. The available problems also allow for adjustment from easy to difficult to adaptive allowing one to adjust their level with additional understanding of the material

In addition, each time I've reached out the the staff they've been remarkably helpful. I recommend Magoosh for those second-timers like myself or someone with a great base who needs a wealth of wonderful questions to choose from.

After first attempting the GMAT last year and receiving a score of 530 with especially weak math, I knew that I had to change my study plan. I had been using study guides and question banks but it evidently was not helping. I discovered Magoosh by looking for a GMAT preparatory site that had difficulty rankings for each question so that I could see where my strengths were.

As I had missed my choice school’s MBA application deadline I did not use Magoosh for several months. This was not an issue as Magoosh extended my access for a year at no extra charge.

The Magoosh lessons are extremely informative and provide examples for every situation you may encounter on the GMAT. They also provide tips and tricks to tackle every question that can arise on test day. The questions are of high quality and I found some of them to be harder than anything I faced when I wrote my test. Having a range of easy, medium, and tough questions allows Magoosh to be beneficial to anyone, no matter what their target score is.

Everything on their site is very intuitive, and you can make custom study plans from any mix of question types (data sufficiency, critical reasoning, etc). You can also limit the questions being given to you to either a random selection, adaptive questions, questions you previously got incorrect, or questions you flagged the last time you saw them. The site also allows users to set time limits, question limits, and the ability to see detailed solutions at the end of every question or at the end of a study period.

To prepare I studied the lessons and went through all of the quantitative questions. I flagged any questions I could not answer easily, and kept reviewing them until I could answer them all with relative ease. This helped develop my skills and improved my confidence and time management.

I cannot recommend Magoosh highly enough. I previously studied using well-known guides and failed, but with the resources provided by Magoosh and hard work I have been able to achieve my final score of 730.
