Magoosh GMAT Course Reviews

I consider Magoosh Premium a must have for a student who is aiming at 700+. The program's main advantage is the videos where teachers explain every small detail, subtle things that in the end make huge difference. A student will have the chance to review the mistakes he or she made and approach the problems again. The website is advanced, you have the tools to comment, flag and save problems and videos for the future. I have spent $3000+ on private tutor but If I had known about Magoosh I would have not even think about going the old way. Go Magoosh!

Magoosh's online video teaching courses ranging from 2-5 mins, create wonderful foundation and knowledge for students in every aspect of gmat test. Moreover, the 1000+ exercises are close to real GMAT test and include comprehensive explanations and related video links to the courses. I have got 590 gmat score in my first attempt, which has closely presented from my Magoosh account evaluation board. Last but not least, thanks the Magoosh team for sending me warm message with support and notice once a while. The best way I could show my appreciation is to have a largely improved score on my 2nd GMAT test.

I bought Magoosh because I felt like the study plan they provided was feasible and I enjoyed the idea of the video lessons. Even though I am an engineer and would need little review on Quant, I bought the whole package as I knew I would still need some math review.

Quant
Magoosh provides great material for the applicants in need of even serious Quant review. The lessons are short and not too hard. The questions are well designed and can get seriously difficult. The explanations are very concise and clear. Very helpful in building the gmat quant mindset.

Verbal
Magoosh provides a comprehensive review of Verbal topics but I still needed some additional courses. I will not comment of the questions given that I am a serious believer in official questions only policy for varbal.

All in all, Magoosh was a great tool for my initial push by giving me some foundation on Verbal, a study plan to follow and some hard Quant questions for the practice and mock.

Magoosh GMAT prep material is something which I was really looking forward too!! Previously I was only referring to GMAT official guides and going to coaching intitute in Pune, India. But was not satisfied with the material!! There was always something which I felt I was missing. Later, one of my friend who was already pursuing GRE Magoosh Prep recommended me. I enrolled in for a week demo classes which helped me in identifying my lacking!!,,I'm really happy with the material they have provided especially of verbal section. The customized practice is the best feature of the software. The way the questions are been segregated according to difficulty gives one a chance to hone grey areas.

It allows you to focus on subject areas and then you can customize the questions. It has detailed video explanation and let you know if you're answering easy, hard, or medium questions. I love Magoosh. I NEVER took a Geometry class. I had no idea about Geometry till I tried Magoosh. I am now solving Geometry questions. I love this!! I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking to learn the fundamentals or for brush ups. The exam bank alone makes this worth the investment. I haven't taken the GMAT exam yet but it beats having to study out of a book. I feel like I am in a class with a professor teaching me.

I wanted to take a minute to review the Magoosh premium material for GMAT Club. I have previously used both Veritas and Manhattan GMAT (online course for Veritas and books for Manhattan) and I believe the Magoosh videos are the best prep material I have used to date. I really enjoy being able to select very specifically the lesson that I want to review vs. having to listen to a instructor touch on various topics. It really gives me a structured way to study for the GMAT and understand the concepts. Also, the way the videos are set-up lends itself to really learning the concepts instead of memorizing formulas. I give Magoosh 5 stars!

First of all, I would say that the Magoosh Gmat Course is fantastic.

The video lessons
1. are easy to understand
2. are correctly paced
3. use simple examples
4. provide practice questions
5. gives us a lot of insight into the subject

The exercises
1. are slightly more difficult than the actual test
2. help you practice as much as you want to
3. have video explanations that exactly tell us where we went wrong
4. direct us to the corresponding lessons that we might need to retake for better understanding

How to use the 3 month study plan:

Before taking the magoosh lessons, I took up one of the two practice tests given by GMAC. I scored 580.

I had less than 3 weeks left for the GMAT and I went through the 1 month study plan, which said do 5 lessons a day etc. I felt it was not organized well enough for me. So, I took the quantitative focused 3 month study plan. I made a complete list of all exercises available in magoosh. Then I referred to the study plan and marked each of the lessons with week, day and order within the day. I was happy to see that the first iteration of the entire set of lessons was completed in 6 weeks. The total length of the videos were approximately 23 hours (you may want to add a few hours for practice problems within videos and after every section). I targeted to complete lessons worth one week everyday. I actually ended up taking 8 days to complete the entire set of lessons.

On the 9th day, after revising my notes I gave the next practice test from GMAC and I scored 590. Yes, only a 10 point increase, but the reality was when I scored 580, I did not know the answers to many of the questions, but this time, it was my time management that led to a poor score.

After this, I did not take any other complete test. I had one week left and I decided to not postpone my test date. In the one week, the first day, I took 5 questions per session in quiz mode for each topic. Whether I got it correct or wrong, I viewed the explanation videos. I also kept a tab on how my pace was compared to others. I completed the entire set of subjects in 3 days. After that I followed the same strategy, but only for my weaker/slower areas (Statistics, Counting, Probability).

I followed a similar approach for verbal, but did not view all lessons. I just browsed through a few lessons and mainly the strategy lessons but I kept practicing and viewing video answers.

On test day I spent an hour in the morning going through my notes. I did 10 minutes of cardio and spent a relaxing 20 minutes in the steam room.

In the test, I struggled a bit for time, but not majorly. I ended up with a score of 680, which happens to be a 100 points improvement from nearly 3 weeks back.

I definitely recommend Magoosh for your GMAT prep. However, before purchasing and even before starting your trial, please spend a week working out problems from gmatclub for atleast 1 hour everyday. If you are successful with that, then go for the trial for the next 7 days and try to spend atleast 2 hours everyday. Try watching some videos and take up some problems from that section, to see how your learning helps. I am sure you will be happy with your practice. If you are, then buy the premium version. Be sure to make a plan before you start watching videos.

The Magoosh GMAT study program has been an amazing resource in preparing for the GMAT's. I have already increased my practice score by 50 points and hope to raise it another 30-50 before my exam. The video based learning system is brilliant as it really allows visually based learners to excel. I would wholeheartedly recommend Magoosh to anyone studying for any standardized tests. Magoosh tutors also provide answers to any questions that may nor be clear as you prepare. The 3-Month study guide has also been invaluable in setting up a schedule that is manageable. Before Magoosh, I was enrolled in Manhattan GMAT. I must say that their program is much more expensive and not as engaging as Magoosh's. Manhattan GMAT offers a very traditional base of learning where as I feel that the Magoosh process really provides a fun/ interactive & memorable learning experience. You will have to put in time and practice, but this program has changed my approach to and understanding of the GMAT drastically!

overall magoosh is very helpful, as there are tons of online resources, and tips.
havent dont the gmat yet, however planning for 2015.

I shopped around before selecting my GMAT course and I am glad I finally selected magoosh. If you are disciplined, fairly smart and capable of putting into practice what these guys teach you then you will get a great score. Attending the course doesn't circumvent any of the hard work you must put in (in your own time) but it does mean the work you do will the efficient. The online resources they provide are great, but attending the course in tandem really helps the key concepts anchor in you mind.


thanks magoosh
