How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh's online was a complete guide to Toefl that I was. In just 4 weeks, I went from knowing nothing about TOEFL to getting the score I desired. I would not have been able to do this without magoosh. I would like to thank the entire magoosh team for creating such effective courses.

I got a 110 on my first attempt and magoosh is to blame for it.
I took the 1 month study plan. Lessons are crystal clear and aim for the key topics, extremely helpful. Also, the provided study plan was really helpful as one doesn't have to worry about planning it.

How did Magoosh help you?
Having used Magoosh for GRE earlier I knew it was going to be the most effective preparatory tool for TOEFL as well. And it was!
I think the most useful feature that Magoosh has to offer is the "Custom Practice" feature. This feature helps the test takers concentrate on the section of the test that they feel they need most practice with.

Well, To be honest I only used it for two weeks not a month....The description of reading, speaking and writing sections was informative....and the practice questions were super helpful.It actually taught me what mistake I am doing by providing elaborated answer along with video explanations in case of practice questions.

You people are awesome....they even extended my time when I requested them.

Magoosh helped me to know the exam and its sections precisely. All the explanations about pace of time, sections, type of questions, etc were essential to work on the right strategies. The exercises were extremely important to know how to control my time and to improve my (academic) vocabulary.
I strongly recommend studying with Magoosh!

How did Magoosh help you?
The preparation material and videos helped a lot. The practice questions were to the point and resembled the kind of questions one gets in real TOEFL exam. I had less 3 weeks(give or take) to prepare for the exam. The video tutorials/lessons were very good. Also, the practice questions were of huge help, and the answer videos for the questions helped me to better my score in the speaking section. I was really impressed by the fact that I could take these video lessons wherever I was-be it during traveling or during break time in office. I could not devote more than 3 hours daily for the preparation of TOEFL but the video lessons helped immensely and the practice questions made me confident for the exam. I would highly recommend Magoosh to anyone who is preparing for TOEFL/GRE/GMAT.

How did Magoosh help you?
I used Magoosh plus a couple of other TOEFL prep resources (Princeton Review for strategies and official ETS material for practice) to study for the exam. Out of which, I found Magoosh quite reliable as it is the most user-friendly way to study for the test. With a wide range of prep questions and video lessons, its study template is very convenient to use and hassle-free, even on the go. I like the fact that it immediately tells you if have answered the questions correctly along with detailed explanations for the wrong ones. Plus, studying online helps you get used to the test-like conditions as well.You can, also, review all the questions you have answered in one place . In my opinion, these features surely help to cut down on unnecessary prep time and study efficiently. As I was in a time crunch and needed an essential study resource in addition to the official guide, Magoosh was an apt choice.

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me a lot since I was clueless about TOEFL before I signed up. The dashboard is effective and easy to use, I started right away after logging in. The phone apps were also very useful, I was able to study from anywhere! I loved Lucas's way of teaching, it was clear and to the point. I personally think Magoosh is a better alternative than a face-to-face course, it's way cheaper and worth the price.

How did Magoosh help you?
I knew I would be ok with the reading and the listening, so I just did some of the practice questions everyday before the actual test to get familiar with the format. But Id always been secretly scared of the speaking and listening parts. I found the Magoosh app for speaking practice really helpful. The lessons on writing were a big help, too.
