How did Magoosh help you?
Very Comprehensive guide. Helped me a lot with the Speaking section. Lucas made the section easier for me with his short videos. This really made it for me. I also scored 30 on my Reading section. Magoosh passages are hands down the best practice materials to score 30. The Listening questions from Magoosh were exactly similar to those of the ETS. I didn't need much of a practice for Writing but there were 18 questions that I went through from my Magoosh dashboard. For me, Magoosh us the number one source for Toefl practice.

The explanations were key to understand my mistakes. That's what I believe makes magoosh the best; you improve your understanding of the specific things certain type of questions look for.

Magoosh helped me practice reading and listening extensively. Also, the lectures were of immense help. Lucas really helped me figure out how to make notes during the speaking and listening sessions. Thanks Lucas and Magoosh !

How did Magoosh help you?
A lot! Did a one week magoosh crash course preparing for the exam! And it worked out pretty good. I watched almost all your videos in higher speed, for efficiency matters :) And then did some practice tasks. I got a good idea about structure and the most important points to look out for. Without those my score wouldnt be as high.

However, I was disappointed with my reading score. The passages in the original toefl preparation book and on the magoosh site seemed to me not as difficult as the passage during the test. I had the 80 minutes reading part, and struggled sometimes with the "easy" questions (like vocabulary) and felt the time pressure...

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh offers a variety selection of practicing materials, which is extremely cool! The practicing question provided is harder than actual TOEFL test, so after working with Magoosh, I found real TOEFL exam really simple. Besides, Magoosh also provide scoring service, so I can know how well I've done in practice session, together with the advice of where to improve.

How did Magoosh help you?
The Magoosh GRE package which I took earlier, was much better than the TOEFL package. The TOEFL package seems very underdeveloped compared to that (it is a ridiculously high standard that you have set with your GRE course). While GRE package was aimed at getting 340/340, the TOEFL package never seemed to help the student aim above 110. But yes, it did give me a whole feel of the test and some very useful tips and tricks ! Thank you to MAGOOSH !

I could get a feel of the sample questions that can come on the actual test. I got a lot of practice. If I would have tried to do it on my own, I would not have been able to get enough practice within one month.

Magoosh definitely helped me get an idea about what to expect on test day. I think magoosh is an excellent way of preparing for toefl. I am looking forward to preparing for GRE with it. Lucas Fink has done an excellent job at explaining the answers to the questions.

Magoosh helped me for repeating practice into the listening exercises and for watching the most adequate response to the speaking questions. Although nor in the speaking section or writing section there is not evaluation, still it was useful to practice different writing issues and see ideal essays to compare with.

How did Magoosh help you?
Although I took toefl for just one week, but it really helped me to get the basics of actual toefl. I think if i would have taken it for one or two months my scores would definitely be more than 100. but because of my application deadline i could only take it for one week. but this score is more than enough for my application, I am happy that I took Magoosh... :)

It had a lot of material regarding the reading and listening sections, where actually my grades ended to be my highest. Templates for writing and speaking sections were useful too, as well as the descriptions about each speaking type question. Study plans were very interesting also.

Magoosh offered me a very good platform for practicing my TOEFL at much reasonable prices and at my home dekstop. I did not have to join in any classes for preparation. Questions and answer explanation videos were very much helpful. All the material provided is self sufficient for TOEFL preparation. Thank you Magoosh team, you are doing a good job, keep growing.
