How did Magoosh help you?
I feel like I already had a very good grasp of the English language but there were certain reading between the line moments that were resulting in quite a lot of mistakes. This is where Magoosh was of immense help. I believe the difficulty level of Magoosh tests is quite high compared to the actual test. |

Magoosh helped me in understanding the format of the test. The questions on the actual TOEFL matched the kind of questions I practiced through Magoosh. I am glad that Magoosh has helped me achieve a good score in GMAT as well as TOEFL. |

How did Magoosh help you?
The questions are very similar to those in the toefl, sometimes even more difficult. This helped me a lot, because at first I thought I was not getting any better. Then I took the official ETS practice test and noticed that I actually improved my test skills significantly. Thanks a lot for taking the time to help students to achieve their goals. |

Magoosh helped me to know where my weaknesses are and how to work effectively on them.The study plan was exactly what I needed to actually study (I usually spend more time planning how I will study than the time I spend to actually study) .Lucas videos were just amazing and to the point. My advice to customer service , please keep being awesome , to help other students achieve their academic goals. |

Magoosh helped me get a lot more familiar with the TOEFL, and more importantly, it helped me put together my own templates to use on Speaking and Writing sections, which worked very well. After all, TOEFL isn't just about your English ability; test strategies and tactics matter a big deal! |

How did Magoosh help you?
Although my English language skills were already top-notch, I had just a couple of weeks to familiarize myself with the test format. Magoosh made this real easy through its videos. I especially struggled with the speaking section, where I struggled to include the right content and utilize the few seconds well. The answer structures provided by Lucas came in handy there. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Hi guys, Magoosh has helped me in multiple ways from personal guidance to tutorial videos which helped me build the basics to tackle TOEFL questions. Magoosh helped me by channelling my hard work in the right direction by providing full length practice tests, which I think is the best feature of Magoosh and the reason for my score. My initial expectations was scoring in 90's but little did I know that with help of Magoosh I could land up in the 99th percentile. Thank-you team Magoosh and Lucas. :) |

The videos explained the concepts of the test really well and were helpful in enabling me understand what the test usually asks for. The practise questions were also another avenue from which I was able to glean information with regards to the format of the test. All in all, with the preparation from Magoosh, I was able to confidently walk into the test despite having had less than a week's worth of actual preparation. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me become familiarized with the format of the TOEFL test and get a lot of practice. Also, in my view, some of the reading and listening practice questions in Magoosh are harder than the questions in the actual test. Hence, when I took the test, I felt very comfortable and my pace was much better than I expected. |

How did Magoosh help you?
The lectures and reading passages in Magoosh are more difficult than those in the real TOEFL test, so when the test day finally come and the test appears in yor screen, you feel relaxed and calm, since you are able of understand everything more easily. This was really helpful for me. In addition, I used the vocabulary Flashcards a lot, which helped me significantly. Not only I learned new and complex words, but I also discovered that some of the words that I already knew because are similar in spanish (mi native language) are considered "hard words" in english so I began using them in my writings. I think this made my essays look better. Finally, the grammar lessons were and useful tool when I needed to refresh some old knowledges. |

I really liked Magoosh. Particularly, its practice sessions are quite similar to what you get in an actual TOEFL test.

Though, I have not got enough score that is required to apply to universities, but I am really thankful of you guys and I would love to refer magoosh to anyone. |
