How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh helped me big time! I did not know what to do to get at least 26 points in the speaking section. I was lost, did tried my best but still wasn't able to get the needed score. When I registered to Magoosh, I followed all their advices and it was like magic! I got an almost perfect score in the speaking section. I cannot thank you enough Ma'am Rachel and Magoosh! |

Magoosh helped me prepare efficiently for Toefl. Their lessons were clear and effective. I was worried about the speaking section but felt more confident after practicing each question. Magoosh has been helpful and encouraging throughout. :) |

How did Magoosh help you?
Was too busy preparing for the GRE, so didn't have time to source TOEFL material. Was already familiar with Magoosh's format and took the 1 week trial membership exactly a week before the exam. It was useful by simply being accessible. |

How did Magoosh help you?
I was able to improve my speaking score. But I would give credit to Magoosh for the improvement in my writing score. I thought the 2nd essay would be my Achilles heel as my writing skills are average. I loved the way Magoosh asked me to attempt the 2nd essay. I scored 4 to 5 in the second essay. Thanks for that. I would definitely use the same structure going forward while writing general essays. |

How did Magoosh help you?
My main concern with taking the TOEFL was the type of questions and their difficulty level. Despite being a proficient speaker of English, I felt hassled by the question types and formats. Fortunately, Magoosh had a wide range of questions that helped me prepare thoroughly. I had a difficulty with listening, I couldn't catch everything that was being spoken. The videos suggested different methods to summarize the lectures. I played around with my strategy as suggested. The results speak for themselves. Regarding the speaking section, I would suggest test takers to relax and speak clearly. Don't worry about stuttering, pausing or not being able to complete your sentence. Plan what you will speak in the 15/20 seconds that's allotted. I only wish there was a mock test(full length) and Mock scores like they have in the GRE prep section. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work guys. |

I love Magoosh! I find Magoosh's questions are slightly difficult than the actual Toefl, which is perfect for practice. I love the videos, including the lessons and explanation of the questions! And I love love the sample writings, which are written in very authentic English, very helpful to me! |

I think Magoosh was really helpful in understanding the test format and experimenting with strategies. I could try out different reading and listening approaches and find best fit for me. Moreover, 150+ questions are good enough practice for TOEFL after GRE. |

How did Magoosh help you?
Magoosh TOEFL Prep is actually extraordinarily good in every aspect. The video lessons were abundantly enough to familiarize myself with the Test Pattern, Sections on the Test, Question Types (even the frequency of occurrence of the Question Types, which was quite accurate compared to my actual test). The Magoosh practice questions and the real Test questions were very close in comparison. All in all, it was really great. I crammed for just ten days and most importantly, just Magoosh Prep was sufficient, I did not refer anything else, not even the Official ETS Guide. |

I was not expecting such score. But because of speaking and listening section strategies by Magoosh it has been possible. All practice questions are like ETS only which helped me to get through real test |

After taking the practice tests on Magoosh, I felt that the actual test was quite simple and got through with ease. Though I was confident of scoring above 100, getting 114 was like a dream come true. Thanks a lot Magoosh... |
