How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me to understand better little details about the exam, therefore I put more attention to things I didn't the first time I took the toefl.
While studying for the toefl is almost impossible to learn more english than you already know, practice is essential to get a good score and Magoosh is a great tool to do so.

How did Magoosh help you?
Im a foreign Pharmacy graduate and I needed certain scores on each section in order to get my certificate and qualify for the pharmacy licensure exam. I know I have high understanding of English, however, the speaking section got me. I tried other reviews online and paid so much just to be stuck with 23 on speaking until I found Magoosh. It gave me a plan on how to knock this speaking part down. I love their very informative lectures. They have a lot of practice exams. Also, my favorite part is that ypi can ask them to score and have a detailed feedback on your practices. It's like having a private tutor but paying for a lot less. I'm glad I have found Magoosh. They have all the materials and people that I needed. Thank you Magoosh! You helped me reached my goal!

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh made learning fun, rather than boring. The guides/teachers, the support team, and even the layout and display of Magoosh webpages made me feel I was in a friendly and warm atmosphere and my learning was an interesting and fun-filled journey, rather than some boring lectures. (I wrote a thank you note after completing my TOEFL test on 7th May and I am going to state similar thing here.) First, I want to thank Lucas Fink for those great video lessons, and video and text explanations of practice questions. I don't think there can be any other videos even close to Lucas' videos. He is one of the best teacher I have come across and I am thankful that I became one of his students. Chris' grammar lessons were awesome. As a non-native speaker, I had many questions regarding usage of various grammatical topics, and he solved those questions with 10-15 minutes videos. Besides, he made it look very simple. Finally, I thank the support team who answered my questions. Once again, thank you everyone, and my decision to study with Magoosh has become one of the right decision I have ever taken. Thank you for giving such a great experience and making learning so much fun and exciting which helped me score 104 in my first attempt to TOEFL with only 21 days preparation.

Magoosh helped me to get used to the TOEFL format and provided more than enough practice questions. Since I did not have much time and was not really willing to sit for a 3-4 hour mock test, I really enjoyed doing your practice questions whenever I got the time to do some.

How did Magoosh help you?
Thanks to the lessons offered on Magoosh, I was able to learn the test´s structure and also practice listening and reading sections, in order to have an idea of what could appear on the real test. After I saw the videos, I took an ets practice test a week before my real test and I got an 88. During that remaining week, I practiced the sections where I had failed, and on my real test, i got a 98!! An improvement of 10 overall points. That improvement was largely because of those final 7 days of practice with the Magoosh Platform. Thanks to Magoosh I reached my score goal and I am able to apply to the scholarship programs and desired universities on the US. Congratulations to the complete Magoosh team, because that achievement is not only mine, is yours too because of your outstanding custom service and your excellent online material.

The magoosh tests were just like the toefl tests. We really appreciated that magoosh went above and beyond to make sure they are helping us in every way they can. They even extended my account by an extra day to cover the day before my exam, when I had miscalculated it. For that, I truly appreciate their efforts and recommend it to all.

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me greatly with the reading strategies, writing structures and speaking practice.
I find that Magoosh practice tasks are somewhat more difficult than the official study guide prep tests and the actual test.

well ,Magoosh helped a lot in the speaking and writing section .Before subscribing to Magoosh i could barely speak and needed at least an hour to write a decent essay . Their Online lessons helped me improve in those areas .Thanks to them i built my self-esteem and was no longer afraid to take the exam. They also provided useful tips on how to take notes ,what to expect on the test and generally how to tackle each type of question .What i liked ,also ,about magoosh was the frequent communication with the teachers and Magoosh experts . I had a lot of questions and they answered them in less than twelve hours ,even though we have more than twelve hours time difference .
Therefore , i would definitely recommend magoosh to anyone, especially to those who have weaknesses in one or more areas .They will help you improve, for sure !!!!

Strategy....Being acclimated to the exam is very important and the Magoosh did a good job delineating the exam pattern, especially for the Speaking section; this helped to make our strategies and feel comfortable in the exam since we know what's ahead.

The Magoosh practice videos were extremely helpful. They detailed exactly what was expected and how should a student prepare. Since I am already a good English speaker I needed some prep for the test and its format more than the English language prep & Magoosh helped me a lot with it. Thank you Magoosh!!!!
