Hello, Magooshers!

Thank you so much for your amazing work.
I found Magoosh extremely helpful for my TOEFL preparation.
Since I knew absolutely nothing about the test format, your videos explaining the specifics of every question type helped me a lot. I also enjoyed very well-designed practise questions for each section. Thanks to your careful selection of materials, I was three times less nervous during the actual test than I could be because I was pretty accustomed to what I was supposed to do.

I strongly recommend Magoosh to other students and I am going to try the GRE preparation course in a few days.

Good luck and take care!

Helped me get an organized view at all the sections for studying. It is one thing to study and a completely different to have your study material organised. Magoosh made my life much simpler when it came to keeping up a track of my studies. Made sure that I could concentrate on the areas where I was lacking in performance.

I did a fast one-week preparation of the Toefl, as I took it two years ago, I am working 12 hours a day and preparing GRE, so I needed to be efficient.
The Magoosh videos were good to remember the format of the test, and the practice tasks are very similar to the real test.

How did Magoosh help you?
It has been a great experience studying for my TOEFL exam with Magoosh, I'm really glad that I opted for Magoosh, considering the short time I had before my exam. I really like Magoosh because:

1) The preparation material is more than enough. So its a one point solution for that.
2) Lots of practice questions and that's the 'key to success', the simulator on Magoosh helped me to specifically target my weaknesses
3) Quite close to the actual TOEFL test
4) Lessons are to the point and easy to comprehend

I had only 15 days to prepare and I am working full time.So it was a herculean task for me to squeeze out time,especially in the weekdays.Heartfelt thanks to Lucas and magoosh for the well-structured video lessons which gave me a clear understanding about TOEFL .It really helped me to figure out what will in be store for me in the actual test and I somehow managed to get 106 within such a short span of time.

I already had an excellent experience from Magoosh while preparing for the GRE, so I thought it would be a good decision to prepare again from them for TOEFL.
The entire team is quite experienced in what they are teaching as well as very patient and cooperative when it comes to customer support.
The tutorials are very well articulated, presented and easy to understand. Both tutors, Chris and Lucas are amazing.

Magoosh helps me a lot with my first TOEFL TEST. I was extremely surprised with my score. It offers various templates that are very helpful in speaking section. Besides, Magoosh concludes abundant topics in reading and listening section. Finally, I had accomplished all the writing tasks that Magoosh offered in its practicing mode and they indeed boosted my writing and typing ability within one month. I would like to appreciate Magoosh for helping me reach my ideal score for my first TOEFL TEST.

I can't thank enough Lucas, Chris & the Magoosh team. As I was preparing for my GRE too, I had a very limited time for TOEFL prep. I prepped for around to 10 days. During my prep, I realized my weaker areas were Speaking & Writing. Being a non-native speaker, I had my own apprehensions for Speaking. The videos by Lucas on speaking & showing how to answer to every speaking task elucidated me. It made me understand that what should be spoken and what should be eliminated from your answers. I had written essays during my high school, and now after 5 years I was not sure about my flow in writing. However the templates created by Lucas was my catch. Getting a score of 25+ on Speaking & Writing Sections was a dream & a deep desire. Thank you Lucas and the Magoosh Team for making this come true. Lots of Love.
I highly recommend prepping with Magoosh. It's your go-to excelling on the TOEFL test.

I used only Magoosh and not to forget the free TOEFL resources from ETS. I had a 5 day preparation. I knew i can handle Reading and Listening part as i did some GRE preparations initially and i watch sitcoms and movies a lot. The happiest part is i scored 28 in writing, thanks to the videos by Lucas. I could have done better in speaking. I was bothered and was bit shy during the speaking session and forgot to structure my speech. Overall, I now realize my potential is '110'. I was disappointed and expecting 100 after i gave the test but I am happy now!. I felt extremely comfortable during the exam after doing your practice exercises in Reading and Writing sections.Thank you Magoosh. Hoping to replicate this in GRE too.
