Bought its premium which involves both verbal and quant. Had a initial score of 620 (not great) and was able to improve it to 660 in a month or so.

They run you through a TON of exercises to and track your progressive scores. Clear and easy to follow interface and can actually see your progress throughout the tests that you do. You dont have to sit through a test every time and can actually just do them whenever you have time and will save your progress. Its nice to see a predictive GMAT score as you go through the test one by one as well.

Only cons I see is more the support and phone application when I was using it. The interface to complete on the phone was clunky and didnt really sync properly to your account.

I'm no GMAT pro, but feel as though I should be one (4th time's a charm). Money is tight, but this resource so far is proving to be very helpful, and affordable. Having video explanations after each problem is super helpful. The price cannot be beat when you compare it to the other elite programs out there. It's very easy to sign up and start studying instantly. I encourage people to take advantage of such a great program. I was recommended to this by a friend who improved his score by 50 points which put him over 710. I didn't benefit as much as that friend of mine did, but I definitely got a better grasp of the general everything because of Magoosh. My best recommendation is that you take more than 3 months with Magoosh to have the best outcome happen.

I am yet to appear for my GMAT, but the resources of Magoosh was very comprehensive and upto date.
The focus of the course never shifts away from the core understanding of the concepts which is the most important part in the preparation.
The design of the course takes care of the understanding and the sequence you should follow for your preparation and you can trust it and follow it without worrying about a separate plan for your prep.
Although I feel the course best suits somebody who is starting with very little knowledge of GMAT. The videos does at times stretch towards a lot of basics. But you always have the option of rushing through it by reading the transcripts.
They even extended my course free of cost when I was not able to prepare during the course validity period.
Best of luck to anyone who finds this review helpful and ends up getting a score they desire after using Magoosh's products.

I studied for approximately two months before I took the test the first time. I used Manhattan prep books, OG15, Math and Verbal OGs, and Aristotle Sentence Correction. I studied probably 3 to 4 hours a day for two months straight and could only seem to increase my score by 20 points on my first GMAT from my practice tests.

I then switched gears and ordered the Magoosh Premium Prep. I went through almost all the videos and about 1/3 of the practice problems. It seemed to provide the missing key to unlock a great score. I went from a 660 on my first test to a 740 on my second test. I think Magoosh tied together all the info I had learned and was a great review to take the test the second time.

Improvements that could be made:
-Be able to download videos or preload them some how - I travel a lot for work and had lots of time on my hands but no internet access while on the plane.
-Percentage complete of video lessons/minutes remaining in each section

Magoosh is a good tool for GMAT aspirants, quant questions are very useful to students, In GMAT real exam I got some questions same as in magoosh quant. coming to verbal section this section is a quite different from math’s, It requires complete knowledge of English along with lots of patience to read passages. I felt magoosh passages are a bit lengthier than GMAT orginal exam.
Positives:
• Great flexibility to practice questions as we like,
• Magoosh score predictor is very accurate.
• Explanation of questions and their answers is very nice.
• Customer service is good, reply for doubts will be addressed soon.
• Magoosh YouTube videos like Tuesdays with Kevin are very useful.

Considerations: The only thing I feel wrong with Magoosh is the slow pace of English lessons.

Magoosh provides perfect tools to tackle all GMAT sections.

The lessons are short and focuses on main points and hence are a perfect resource to refer to for people who have short study cycles. The video are broken down well and the content is crisp.

The online tool is easy to use and provides good explanation for all questions. Question bank is exhaustive and provides variety of questions for each topic. The tool also help you to maintain your error log and hence is a great asset to learn from your mistakes. The best part about Magoosh is that is provides a clean user interface which makes it very easy to use it for long duration as well.

I took the Magoosh Premium course , found it very resourceful.
Especially the videos on CR, SC are the best out there.
Also, the explanations for the various practice questions were more than satisfactory and these were further complemented by their insightful blogs.
The only con is the Math lesson videos and the practice questions provided were very basic, nothing compared to the ones on the actual test. Few Math techniques being used are cumbersome , there are faster and easier ways of doing them (Example: Alligations and Mixtures ).

Overall, a very fine interface and an absolute value for money. If your main aim is to be economical this is the best option.

P.S:I also found the variable playback speed very helpful,especially since some of the videos are a bit slow.

I started using Magoosh (both the verbal and math) after I had already been using Manhattan for several months. I felt like something was missing from Manhattan--I was learning a lot but I didn't have enough practice questions to run through. Magoosh had LOTS of practice problems, and their video explanations of questions were AMAZINGLY helpful. I watched all of their lessons as well and felt like I learned a lot. My only critique is that their questions (like Manhattan's) weren't totally representative of the test questions. After I took the test for the first time, I switched to just practicing with real GMAT questions (I bought the tests & questions packs) and supplemented that with studying the lesson videos on Magoosh. I ultimately got a 690 on the GMAT, but that was from using Magoosh, GMAT practice tests and Manhattan in conjunction.

It was in June 2015 that I decided that I must appear for gmat exam in this year. But I was confused regarding the prep classes that I should take since the cost of prep was a major factor influencing my decision. A colleague of mine suggested me to purchase the premium package of magoosh. I purchased it for just around INR 6500 and started studying from Sept 1st week. I had scheduled my exam for 9th Oct and this was my 1st attempt. I knew that it was too ambitious of me to think that I could prepare in just a month's time, but I did anyway and I got a score of 730 with Q49 and V41. I am happy that the effort, time and money I invested paid off well :)

Good Lectures and huge Questionbase. However, the Video Explanations are not always in support of the Lectures and might even contradict them.
I felt that it was a good way of studying but unforunately it did not help my score as well as expected. Therefore, I requested a refund which was given to me promptly and without further questions. Also, the support in general is quite good as they always responded in time.

All in all, Magoosh Premium is a nice but not perfectly developed training course with good service features. If you want a better course which might help your score better, you have to pay a lot more though.
