How did Magoosh help you?
It helped me learn all the tactics and techniques regarding the questions that appeared on the actual test. Study materials here on magoosh are pretty similar to the ones that appear on real exam plus all the advice in different blog posts is sincere and kind of actually what one really needs to score well on exam.

How did Magoosh help you?
I believe i was already well prepared for the TOEFL, but Magoosh was really helpful with tips, tricks and strategies. There is no reason to list these things, because literally every lesson is of high value.

How did Magoosh help you?
I feel my case is very unusual. I learned that I have to take TOEFL just three days before the test. I knew nothing about TOEFL and had just two (mostly) free days to prepare. I didn't have time to try many tools, so I quickly decided to use Mangoosh exclusively. I spent the first day watching the videos from the "Lessons" tab, which helped me understand what the test is about and also to get to know its structure (although I had to watch them on 3.5x speedup to finish them in time). I used the second day to practice - I did the practice test and also a ton of practice exercises.
I needed the score of 100 of more on my test and at the end got 108 points, so I'm very happy with the result. Obviously, my English was good enough already, but I wouldn't be able to get a satisfactory score without learning about TOEFL on Mangoosh and without using it to practise.

How did Magoosh help you?
A lot, Just before learning with magoosh, my listening skills were at most 19. I just worked with magoosh for 2 weeks and mostly on my listening skills, and they improved unbelievably. While the listening part of TOEFL was hard, I could gain 27! I'm pretty sure If I had more time and could work on other skills as well, I would have gained better scores in all those 3 skills as well.

I followed Magoosh's 2 week study plan and was able to score 99 . Video lessons and practice questions are very exhaustive which not only provide you a clear idea of question formats as well as enough practice to hone necessary TOEFL skills .

How did Magoosh help you?
Wow, Magoosh really helped me with sections that needed a lot more preparation than I initially thought. These were undoubtedly the reading and listening sections. The explanations given were beautiful and helped me understand WHY my answer was wrong before and what to look out for. It teaches you technique. If you kind of space out during reading and listening like me, Magoosh is totally the way to go. The prep test is exactly what you need to get you the right amount of confidence so your performance on the test day is optimum. Also, please do not waste time looking for free tests online because they'll get you nowhere and they're not well constructed. Remember, you get what you pay for! and this is honestly, the best money I have spent for preparation. It's worth it!

Magoosh helps set the tone right. If you are able to do well on the Magoosh tests, you should be confident about doing well on the final test too. The level of difficulty, the set of questions and the tutoring provided was excellent.

Magoosh provided me with very clear and concise strategies to approach all the problems listed in TOEFL. In particular, I would like to commend Lucas for meticulously explaining the key strategies for the Writing and Speaking section. In fact, those guides were so effective that I finished my writing section 10 minutes ahead of time!

The best part of Magoosh is the pool of practice questions. But some of them, are tougher than one may see in original exam. The video lessons are also very helpful to get someone up to the speed quickly. Personally, I used only Magoosh and the one-month study plan.
