I was just wondering how useful Magoosh is and whether I should add that onto my list of GMAT prep materials? Currently, I am using the Manhattan Prep book series as well as the official GMAT materials.
Dear gmatnoobie1

My friend, I'm happy to respond. :-)

This is Mike McGarry, the GMAT expert at Magoosh. First, I will say that those MGMAT books are fantastic, probably the best material in print form that one could find.

Of course, I think Magoosh is wonderful, but what I'll say is don't take my word for it. Instead, find out for yourself.

Certainly you can look at our testimonials, to see what our students say.

You can also sample our resources for yourself. For example,
free GMAT flashcards for math & idioms
our free GMAT ebook

Our free blog has GMAT study schedules and a free GMAT diagnostic test. Here are a couple other sample articles on that free blog:
GMAT Data Sufficiency Geometry Practice Questions
GMAT Critical Reasoning Practice Questions

The Magoosh product has 150+ full lessons. Here's a free sample math lesson:
Multiples
Here's a free sample verbal lesson
Substantive Clauses
Magoosh also has 1000+ GMAT practice questions, with full solutions. Here's a free math question:
91! - 90!
Here's a free SC question:
With American cryptanalysts
When you submit your answer to either of those questions, the following page will have the solution, a video explanation, a text explanation, and related lessons. Each one of Magoosh's GMAT practice questions has all this, and our students find that this immediate feedback information accelerates their learning. All our subscribers can send in a question at any time, about any official question or any one of our questions, and we will give an answer by email, usually within 24 hours. All these samples I have given are just a taste, but if you like, you can sign up for a week trial and test the whole product: if you are not satisfied, you always can get a full refund before the week is up. My friend, you have all the access you need to make a sound decision for yourself. Get all the evidence you can and then trust your own judgment: after all, that is what an executive in the business world always has to do.

Whether you decide to explore Magoosh further or not, my friend, I hope you at least take full advantage of everything on our free blog. There's a lot there than can really help you.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
Mike :-)

Magoosh has a great question bank (Q:648 & V: 558). But my advice to you is that you when practicing verbal from whatever you choose, you need to analyze errors and wrong answers as possible as you can. it is really crucial to get high score.

I used OG and the Manhattan math books as my primary study resources, and then supplemented those with Magoosh. I found Magoosh to be incredibly useful -- it was great to have a large question bank on my computer, and the video explanations for all of the questions were super useful to me. I'd recommend it.

I'd also add they have very helpful study plans! Great if you don't now how to manage your time/plan out your schedule when you're starting to study.
