A lot. Before I did the Toefl for second time I was aware that Writing and Speaking were my weaker skills. Thus, my focus was in those topics. And I improved a lot. Specially in Writing.

How did Magoosh help you?
It was great in regards listening and reading tasks. Although for speaking and writing was not that good. Perhaps because it is difficult to receive feedback in this sections as they cannot be assessed automatically.

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me with mainly Reading and Listening sections. I subscribed for only a week's access. I think listening section was more helpful for me. Practice materials were really nice and covered all the possible topics. With more and more practice, I was able to filter out the important from not so important ones while taking down notes. Reading materials helped as well. I am more than happy for a 25 on Reading and 27 on listening considering this being my first attempt with only a week's preparation. Could I ask more!!!? Thank you Magoosh

READING: i learned how to handle unknown and uncomfortable topics, manage time and extract ideas from passages correctly very fast.

LISTENING: Taking notes while listening, distinguish between important and unnecessary information, answer those indirect"implication" type questions where the answer isn't directly given in the conversation...like "what did the professor mean when he say....?".

SPEAKING: how to take very short notes, speaking by following templates, keeping track of time while speaking without losing the flow etc. The app that records voice and plays back did help me talk loud and clear, that i struggled to do earlier.

WRITING: the videos did help. mostly for the 1st writing task. learned how to relate topics of the passage to the lecture and then write them in a structured way without missing any significant information.

I think without Magoosh, I certainly would not have got a score of 105. Practice questions and video explanations are really helpful. So when I took my actual TOEFL test, I was able to do well.

Magoosh helped me practise reading and listening. I also went through a few speaking and writing topics. Gave me a good idea about the format of the test.
Magoosh is a play on the Old Persian word magush, one who is highly learned, wise and generous.
