Magoosh was incredibly helpful for me in my attempt to obtain a top GMAT score. I took the test 5 years ago, and scored a 620. Granted, I went in with no knowledge of the exam (didn’t know there was a quant and verbal section). I started using Magoosh because it seemed like a good product for a significantly lower price than the other tools offering similar score increases. I started using their 6 month beginners study plan, but things were going so well, that I decided to take a practice test to see where I stood. I realized that I was ready for the test, so I signed up and continued to use Magoosh every day to stay ready until test day. The videos and practice problems are awesome!

Although I've not yet taken the GMAT this course was helpful in breaking the v30 barrier in my prep. The course material is detailed at the same time very easy to understand. Moreover the scholaranium tests help you gauge the current improvement. From the average v24 on tests this has helped me shoot the verbal score to v34.

My target score is around v44-v45 with still the RC and SC courses pending & I highly recommend this product for Non natives so that they can easily work on their foundations rather than just beating around the bush with few tips and tricks provided by other prep companies. The course starts with building your basics of grammar -> transitions to SC -> CR -> RC in a systematic approach. You can try out their sample vids to check if the approach is useful or not and then decide.

As a non-native English speaker (and writer as you will see) I needed a course that thought me the foundations, the tricks and the strategy. Now I can say that e-gmat has been extreamly usefull learning tool of those 3 aspects.
- The foundations of SC, Cr and RC are very well covered in their concept files that start from the basic through advanced material
- The verbal live sessions really worth it. The sessions are very well prepared and designed to go deep into core aspects such as pre-thinking or the 3 process step for SC questions
- The strategy sessions tough you how to improve your score and gives you understanding on key things to keep in mind, like takt time
- Scholarium is a great tool for practice your weak areas and keep track of your performance

I signed up for the e-GMAT after reviewing them, Magoosh, and one or two other services. I needed help improving my score from a V38 so I can surpass my 700 in order to get closer to a 750. I already had a Q48/49/50 on practice and previous official exams, so I knew Verbal was where I needed to improve. I went from a V38 to a V41 by doing e-GMAT's Verbal section. Extremely thorough and helpful, with proper explanations, prompt assistance when needed, and practice questions with thorough explanations. They covered the most minute things that other programs I used did not cover. They really went down to showing you the how/why of each type of Verbal question type, grammar rule, etc. so if you truly want to break down and learn Verbal section, definitely do e-GMAT. For the price, it was totally worth it. Would highly recommend.

I decided to use Magoosh GMAT Premium since it is the most affordable course among other brands. I bought it with discount and paid only 60$. Magoosh provide application on smart phone which is really easy to use. I can study anytime when the wifi is available. I wish if Magoosh provide function to watch the videos offline, it will be much better.

For Quantitative section, Magoosh provides lots of great lesson videos which taught me many useful concepts and tips. The exercise in this section is adaptive and some of them are harder than the real ones.

For verbal section, Magoosh provide only fundamental concept videos. I think those videos are not really helpful except SC section. I am not a native speaker, so I think I need to build strong foundation in verbal. There are many exam in this section and I cannot complete all of them. Some are really difficult for me and they are not even similar to the real ones. In my opinion, Magoosh should update the lessons and exams since I don't think the video lessons help me to win the verbal.

Finally, since I work full time, I don't really have much time to study. I still cannot complete some of Magoosh exam. If I had more time, I think Magoosh would significantly help me. Thus, I recommend this courses if you need to improve Q scores. Magoosh really help me with Q section. I improve from Q 44 to Q 48. However, my V score become worse.

I have a long history with E-Gmat. In 2012 after getting 36 on verbal I found free webinar about GMAT strategies and after taking it decided to try the course. The course was great and after retaking the test I saw a better score – 39. Overall score was not enough for me, so I stopped studying for a while. In 2016 I decided to try again and came back to e-gmat, because I already saw that it was very effective. I watched again all the videos and did all the exercises and finally was rewarded with 44 on my last official attempt.
What I liked about E-GMAT Verbal
- It is easy to follow and it has all the information you need
- I am not a native speaker, so it was very beneficial for me, because it taught me things that we do not learn in school.
- A lot of practice material, which resembles GMAT questions very close
- Scholarium is amazing, so many practice questions and great explanations.
- I can see great results after using the course.

The course has been carefully crafted and covers all the topics which are tested in GMAT. It's quality is really amazing and also e-gmat team is really quick in answering queries pertaining to the course. Each and every question has been very clearly explained and their course also offers sufficient practice questions which are really helpful to develop a thorough understanding of the skills tested in GMAT. I took their SC and RC course but have also heard very good reviews about their CR course. I would really recommend their verbal course to the people who are struggling with the verbal section of GMAT.

I was already familiar with the GMAT format having taken the test 3 months prior after a classroom course. Magoosh has an amazing amount of content for the price.This course has all the tools you need to self-study for the GMAT including access to a lot of practice questions, detailed explanations for each question, and video lessons. This site isn't the only self-study course out there but I think its definitely one of the most convenient and effective.The video explanations after each question is wonderful. I'm confident this score will get me exactly what I need.. Anyway, I found Magoosh extremely helpful and I highly recommend it.Ultimately I think Magoosh was a big help when combined with the MGMAT books and I would recommend Magoosh to friends.

I started learning for the gmat few months ago and I 'm confortable with (I got a score higher than 46 on my very first simulation tests). However the verbal section is a nightmare for me. I got a V26 on my simulation tests and started spending more time on the verbal section. I suscribed for the Economist GMAT (which I recommand to learn the technics for the quant section), and worked on the material for 8 weeks. Even though it helped me a lot for the quant, I hardly got V30 on simulation test after completing the course. 2 weeks ahead of my planned test date I made my mind that I could not get the 700+ score that I'm aiming . I then followed the advice of my friends who highly recommand the egmat verbal online course.
This course is incredibile great. It shows the technics step by step to ace the verbal. From the SC , to the RC through the CR, the egmat course and the questions in scholarium, are the perfect material to understand deeply the basic grammar rules and the arguments construction, how to read critically the RC passage and better answer the questions.
It also greatly helps to work on the official guide in the meantime and to get use to the official questions by giving the questions of the OG as exercice to work on after each course. The cherish on the top are the detail explanations of the OG questions.
I'm now able to score 37 on the verbal section thank to EGMAT.

Ok,

I I started preparing for my GMAT in September 2016 and Signed Up for the Magoosh Premium.
The Maths part was good.
I was getting 620+ on Magoosh CATS and GMATPrep Exams.
But on my Actual GMAT, I got 550.
I would not like to blame Magoosh for what happened but yes, their course is not for everyone, especially non-native English Speakers.
Their Maths course is good and the Questions are also OKOK.
But, after a certain point the questions start to repeat themselves and you start to memorize answers.
I would suggest people to only go in for that course if you are looking for a score boost in Quant at an economical rate.

I would reccomend E-GMAT for Verbal and Manhattan Books for Quant to Everyone along with atleast 1-2 hours everyday on GMATClub solving concept questions and Solving OG Questions.
I am rescheduling my GMAT in August and going along with E-GMAT and Manhattan Books coupled with OG and GMAT Club Concept Questions.

Hoping This will make a difference.

Here is my final verdict on Magoosh

Verbal - **
Two Stars as for an intermediate learner their content is good

Quant - ***
Three Stars as for a beginner they can get you half way, not full way

IR - **
Two Stars as for an intermediate learner their content is good

AWA - *****
They can get you the 6 score in AWA
