How did Magoosh help you?
Yes a lot! It was my first time to do the test, so it allowed me to get to know the exam, its different sections and practice. I used Magoosh for my GMAT exam, so I didn´t hesitate to buy the program for the TOEFL, I only studied for the test using Magoosh and nothing else, not even the official guide. |

I took the one week plan for TOEFL. The questions are harder than the actual TOEFL which is good because it prepares you for any challenge..The best resource for speaking and writing are the videos offered by Magoosh. Thanks guys :) |

How did Magoosh help you?
There are loads of practice material available on the Internet and most of those are deceptive, falsely encouraging or simply sham. Amidst this, Magoosh exposed me to the actual level of the TOEFL, and with their variety of practice questions and video lessons I found myself constantly improving. TOEFL is not as easy as it is portrayed to be by a lot of people. Hence, I would highly recommend Magoosh to students. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I don't think I would have gotten 103 had I not been enrolled in Magoosh TOEFL. The format of the test is pretty tricky and learning it all by myself would have been painful. Plus the practice questions especially of listening and speaking sections were of tremendous help. The lesson videos by Lucas really helped a lot, so did the his sample answers in Speaking sections. The 'Help' tab on the right bottom, the stats about correct and incorrect answers and the Review tab helped immensely. All in all, I'm glad I chose Magoosh to help me with the TOEFL! Thank you Magoosh! |

How did Magoosh help you?
It helped me so so much! I don't think I would be able to have such a high score without Magoosh. It helped me learn about TOEFL in real meaning. I bought membership without knowing what TOEFL was at all but woth Magoosh I got introduced to TOEFL and scored on every progress! I learned about many different techniques from which I got to choose the best one for myself. Something I could find nowhere else but Magoosh was my scoring in speaking and writing. The scoring was awesome, the detailed feedbacka given by Magoosh experts helped me really much. I developed myself a lot and in the end my hest sections came to be speaking and writing. I am very content about the Reading Practice format. The way the system compared my pace to others, gave explanatory videos about every questions and so on gave me a different method of studying for reading. The Help tab was always replied and I really liked that I could communicate whatever I wanted from there and I would get valuable response. The satisfaction emails arriving after each question were really evaluated! I once marked NO for satisfaction unaware, and I definitely got a response asking me how I could be helped better. Thank you for the email welfares 2 days before the exam. :) The montly study schedules helped me a lot too. They gave me a path to follow from the beginning to the end, which made it easier for me! I truly appreciate everything about Magoosh and am thankful for any way that it has helped me improve myself and succeed in the actual TOEFL! Thank you thank you thank you! |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me immensly in clearly understanding the pattern of the exam. This assisted me tremendously in being prepared for the different sections that the TOEFL consists of, therefore, helping me score better. Moreover, with very limited time and limited resources at my disposal, Magoosh's material was all that was available to me. Hence, with high quality video lessons and test practice material that the team at Magoosh puts together, I scored better in my exam than the model practice tests taken. A big thank you to the team at Magoosh! You guys are AWESOME! I can now confidently apply to my dream universities in the USA and UK:). Cheers! |

The video lectures were awesome with extremely helpful tips and strategies to tackle all the sections. The grammar lessons by Lucas and Chris were extremely helpful which made my English a lot better. The practice questions were challenging which really helped me to improve and build my self confidence before the actual test day. What's more, the vocab app was spot on and one really important section was the TOEFL blog which provided me with a lot of tips, helpful guidance, and some additional practice as well. I owe my scores to Magoosh!!! Cheers to the entire team - most importantly Lucas Fink !! |

How did Magoosh help you?
The Reading Section Lessons are excellent. Although I did not practice much with the listening and speaking. I think I could have scored 5 points higher on the total score If I would have practiced those 2 sections as well. The Writing section tips were helpful in giving a meaningful structure to my essays. I highly recommend Magoosh to people who like self studying. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh was my main base to prepare the TOEFL. I took the month trial hoping to make over 83 points in the test and I scored 93. My main problem was the reading task, where I usually scored around 17 points during my practice. Magoosh helped me to improve from 17 to to 24 points in the reading and I'm very thankful for that! I would fully recommend Magoosh for my friends since it builds a strong base to tackle the test in a proper way. |

How did Magoosh help you?
The strongest points about Magoosh were that they have tons of practice questions AND follow-up explanation videos. I had already been studying English for several years, so my reading and listening skills were decent. However, there are some TOEFL questions that are tricky and may trip you up if you don't know how to navigate that. Lucas' videos help you do just that is what I found. As for how closely the questions of Reading and Listening from Magoosh reflect the difficulty level of the actual questions, I'd say, it's pretty close - about 85%? It's not 100% because I find the actual questions are a tad easier. Some people might say that's good, but to me it wasn't because it made TOEFL out to be more difficult than was needed. Another thing that I really liked about Magoosh are the sample speaking responses. I was enrolled in another TOEFL prep website, and personally the tips and techniques on there weren't much help because it seemed like the response I was supposed to give to get a high score pretty much felt like giving a verbal essay. It was pretty daunting and unmotivating. With Magoosh, it was different in that the kind of response Lucas gives in the sample response videos is relatively informal and casual, which made me think, "Hey, I can do that." Of course, I could never do what Lucas does and does so well on test day, but what matters is his tips are really practical and actionable. However, there's something I'd like to touch on regarding this, which I'll talk about in 'How could we improve Magoosh?' As for the writing questions from Magoosh, I didn't get around making use of them not because they are not good, but because I just didn't. Writing was the area I practiced the least. |
