The Magoosh GMAT Premium is the best course to build your basics.
Especially the Quant section helps you build the basics with the Video explanations instead of the dry written explanations. It is the most efficient Quant Prep courses available on Earth. I have tried almost 5 courses. Highly recommended to reach Q49 quickly. >Q49 needs proper timing and strategy that comes from giving a lot of Official Mocks and analysing them extensively.
Magoosh support team replies to your queries over the email that a lot of other courses don't.
Best way is to start building concepts with Magoosh Prep course and then move to only official material.
I bought Magoosh Premium subscription during the start of my preparation for GMAT as it was one of the cheapest options available in the GMAT test prep space. Magoosh can be a very good starting point as it really helps in building the basic during the initial stages of the prep. Now let me dive into the individual questions and provide a point of view on it.
Verbal section of Magoosh is not upto the mark specifically for the non-natives, cant really judge the course from the point of view of Natives. I would suggest non-natives to skip their verbal section.
Quants section is a great place to brush up your basic and practise low difficult questions. They have explained basic question of the foundation level in quite detail. It is one of the test perp company which comes very close to the GMAT level difficulty in Quants. But the platform lacks adequate amount of difficult questions. For quants one should supplement magoosh with gmatclub test and gmat perp question.
Magoosh course is very helpful for score improvement.I took verbal online course on the e.gmat. It is very helpful in learning about every topic from basics.It helped me very well to improve my SC,CR sections especially SC.
I am very happy with your practice questions They are very helpful in improving my verbal accuracy especially sentence correction.
Verbal: Live Prep sessions on approaches for SC, CR and RC are really good. My accuracy in all the three improved from 40-50% to 80-90%. The prethinking strategy and understanding for SC helped to reduce my time taken in solving them
I purchased the Magoosh Premium product after a short experience with it through a GMATClub trial.
What first attracted me to Magoosh was the guide - a clear 3 month plan that I could follow right up till the day I wrote. It was a plan that required a lot of work but one that was also flexible which was great for me a my job has irregular and often long hours.
The video lessons are really helpful and explain every aspects of a section in detail. At times it goes too much into the basics so its advisable to use your discretion about which videos you watch.
The best part of Magoosh is the question bank. Its got a good variety of questions of all levels on both the quant and verbal side. (although I would say the very hard questions were much harder than anything I experienced in the test). I appreciated the detailed answer analysis as well for each question, which went beyond a simple text explanation and actually had a video for every question and made it easier to understand the really difficult questions.
I used Magoosh in conjunction with another product but after a few weeks, I focused on Magoosh and am really happy that I did so.
This service was a game changer for me. I increased my score by 70 points from my first GMAT. I found the lessons were more specific and I was able to focus more time on those areas that I felt I needed extra practice. This allowed to target the areas that I need to improve on. After doing their list of problems, I felt their score estimator was quite accurate. The only downside I found was the rather monotonous voice that reads each of the lessons. It was very scripted and I would have to take breaks just to maintain my focus.
I purchased the Magoosh Premium program. I had heard from a friend that it was an essential study help and that it was extremely affordable. With that background I pulled the trigger and got started. I had less than two months to study (and my wife was pregnant, which didn't make things easier). I watched all of the Quantitative videos and did about 400 practice questions on Magoosh. When I took my first practice GMAT exam I scored a 590, with verbal in the 90th percentile and quant in the 30th percentile... I obviously needed to focus on the quantitative section. After my many hours of study, I ended up with a 46 on quant, which was amazing for me. My final score was a 690. I'm certain that I couldn't have done it without Magoosh.
arguably one of the best resource available in the market. It costs you 149$ but its worth every penny. Magoosh contains easy to understand video lessons covering every concept you encounter in real GMAT, the strategies are highly useful and with premium subscription of Magoosh gives you access to more than 1000 questions where each and every question is followed by a video explanation. In addition to all these, they have a fantastic email support by which you can clarify any of your doubts , they reply to you in less than 24 hours. Magoosh questions are of same toughness level as of real GMAT. Study schedules in Magoosh can be a lifesaver who were lost in preparation . I followed 90 day study plan verbal focussed , likewise there are other study plans which you can chose on your requirement. Magoosh Support is the best.
I used Magoosh for practice in timed manner and am really satisfied with the program. The test setting is real and questions are of moderate level. Verbal questions are pretty close to real exam and are created with high quality explanation. I must say it is closer to test than Kaplan or Princeton Review. The notes section may ve not as useful as I thought but the explanation videos are very helpful. I find how Magoosh teachers read, underline and talk about the thoughts while solving questions particularly easy to understand and effective in helping me understand how to answer questions better.
Also big thanks to Magoosh staff who helped me to extend my subscription to study for exam!
I took the gmat back in February 2017. I used the Magoosh premium product that i got from a promotion. For quant i relied solely on magoosh and i didnt even study the official guide. I left the OG for the last moment and then i skipped it. I got a Q47 only with magoosh. I used it mostly for quant in fact. The course has many theory videos that i revised 2-3 times. The course IMO is designed for beginners up to a level of Q48-49. The thing is that they are very good for this. Not all people out there are looking for a 760 and for them there is totally no reason to work on questions they will never see on the gmat. So magoosh has only some 760 level questions that a 650-700 level test taker will never face on the gmat. Someone who wants a score like that will save a lot of money if they buy magoosh and practise from it and the OG. Its not unlikely that you will get a higher score with this product, but i didnt. The course has around 700(this is only for quant) questions to practise with Video explanations that are very refreshing. I used the verbal part for practising questions from the verbal question bank. Also helpful. Generally, their practice platrform is very well designed and can help you make the quizzes you want to make, find your strenghts and zero in your weakensses.
The email support is just amazing. They will answer every question you have in regards of explaining a question or what fiction books to read for verbal practise. Their team is always there for you. (and this is rare out there especially at this price)
The course is provided for 1 year. This is special because most companies will ask a lot more money for only 3-6 months.
In the end of my 1 year subscription they were very generous to offer me a free 1 month extension until my exam !
It's a great course but it can do some things to improve. If the team adds more questions (they add questions every now and then ) the product will be even better. Also maybe they should allow students to comment under the videos and get answers from the instructors !
Overall,great price-quality relationship !
Magooh helped me build core grammatical concepts, that helped me solve SC questions in less than a minute. The free idiom book is an asset given to those who are preparing for GMAT. No course explained idioms in such a lucid way.
Though I am strong in quant, I went through the videos of quant and it helped me to solve the question in less than two minutes time. I especially like videos of P&C and probability. One thing I can simply say about magooh is that no test prep on this earth can give such a good course at such an amazing price.I simply say wow
