Strengths:

-- Hard and Very Hard questions that positively challenge a user's approach to solve a question.
-- Smooth UI that's easy to follow.
-- Theory and answer explanation videos
-- E-mail support for all doubt clarifications related to any question in the bank.

Would make the product better:

-- RC material was limited
-- In-account practice tests had a poor distribution of questions
-- Score predictor was very inaccurate

I signed up for Magoosh Premium after my first attempt as I was looking for something that would not only help me identify the blind spots in my learning but also challenge my current skills with hard questions. Magoosh Premium was the only additional course I signed up for and it met most of my expectations! :)

The journey was arduous at times, especially with the Very Hard Quant and SC questions, questions that challenged my thought process and approach to the core. But I learnt a lot in the process, as the explanations, lessons and blog posts were really helpful. I also had a couple of tutoring sessions with Tom who helped me with some really useful GMAT test taking strategies. He also helped me calm down and added positivity to my process. Finally, the e-mail support provided by the team was quick and elaborate.

Thank you very much to the entire team for coming up a really well structured course and for providing swift and insightful support. Special shoutout to Tom, Kristin, Jonathan, Karryn, and Adrienne

I had enrolled in 2 really expensive and well-reputed institutions to prepare for the GMAT. My reasoning was that the higher the price, the better and more detailed the course will be.

However, the reality is far from the truth, and it took me 1 year to realize this. Not only were the courses a waste of time, but also they make you feel that guilt of being the loser everyone calls you.

I almost gave up on the GMAT and started to apply to programs that don't require the same. However, I thought of giving it one last shot and I signed up for the Magoosh Premium plan.I initially thought this was just another course that gave the basics and the rest was up to me to figure out.

The videos were SO DETAILED and Mike McGarry even explained the doubts I had in mind even before I was preparing to note it down and ask the experts in the chat.

My biggest concern was getting a question wrong because I have no idea to approach it, because in that case, even if you do thousands of questions, that specific question could pull your score down exceptionally.

However, the Magoosh Product + Blogs cover EACH and EVERY detailed aspect tested on the GMAT. From interpreting absolute values to when to use 2nd and 3rd conditionals. These are things that are not typically found in the other products. Yes that includes the MGMAT.

Furthermore, if there is any ambiguity, the team of experts is just an email away. At first, I was skeptical. I thought they just had a bunch of standardized messages and sent them as and when required (at least that is what I experienced in the other 2 products). The emails were extremely detailed, and they even go back and forth with me to point out what EXACTLY is the mistake! That level of commitment is something that I cannot even fathom in the other products.

I remember I had an issue with the Negation Test. Gordon(Magoosh Expert) and I emailed 2 to 3 days to point out what exactly was my mistake (stupid me :P), and that alone took my CR by 6 points.

I don't have an exceptional score, but for a person starting with 420 on the GMAT mock and reaching 610, this means a lot. I developed in other aspects of my application (GPA, Extra Curriculars, and Internships), and got into my dream university.

The entire Magoosh team is the pinnacle of what you can expect in terms of expertise. I CANNOT thank them enough for creating such an affordable product! I will be enrolling with them again for my MBA preparation, and hopefully, secure a better score.

I would highly recommend the Magoosh Premium GMAT package. I would like to mention some of its pros and cons.

Pros:
1. Very elaborative and structured way of providing lessons and tutorials.
2. Help service is very fast and reliable. Always there to answer your doubts and queries and almost never leaves you unsatisfied with the content.
3. The explanations to the questions are very good and detailed. Some of the parts of the questions are covered in text explanation, while other are covered in video explanation.
4. RC passage explanation in separate YouTube videos is terrific.
5. Also, the marks approximation is a plus point.
6. The facility to take notes for every lesson and questions is a very good approach to remember and note down your queries, weaknesses, doubts and other stuff.

Cons:
1. The custom test, though has an option for adaptive questions, but I found them almost random.

I followed the one month study plan and increased my score by 30 points. Before buying the premium account, I was having trouble finishing the math section in the allotted time. I was surprised because I do a fair amount of math in my work. Magoosh helped me see more patterns in GMAT math questions (and even re-develop “number sense”). After practicing their “hard”/“very hard” questions in their test bank, I could better assess which questions were worth skipping on test day. I got interviews to 3/3 top graduate schools I applied to and think my GMAT score supported my candidacy. Big thanks to the Magoosh team for creating great study plans to hold oneself to!

Magoosh provides a great platform to excel in GMAT. The video lessons cover everything (quant, verbal, AWA and IR). The lessons can be downloaded and watched offline e.g. on an underground tube ride to the office.
The biggest strength of Magoosh course is their vast question bank. The verbal and quant question bank provided a wonderful opportunity to test my knowledge. They provide wonderful text as well as video explanations. They also provide detailed analytics of performance so that you can get a clear idea of your strengths and weaknesses.
Another strength of Magoosh Course is the great email support to any doubts/questions. They provide very detailed explanations of the questions.
With the help of Magoosh, my GMATprep scores in the 6 tests were in the range of 680-710. However, I could not perform well in the actual test and scored 640, which proved sufficient to get me admitted to my target school.
Magoosh is an extremely student friendly company. It goes above and beyond to help the students. All you need to do is to just ask. I would highly recommend Magoosh to anybody, who is planning to write GMAT.

Improved from 620 to 650.
Mike and Cris are experts at what they do. They train you to tackle each and every pattern on the GMAT.

Quant : Questions were great . Explanations made sense and were crisp

Verbal : completed the tutorial in 5 days. That's amazing. It's comprehensive. The way Mike teaches sentence correction is perhaps the best I have seen 🐱

Best thing each and every question has an expert dictating to you his/her view and approach of solving a question.

Customer support: within 10 minutes all your queries are answered. They provide you with links to enhance your knowledge and clear all your doubts no matter how many how times you ask them.

I would recommend the product to anybody , who is trying to improve their score at a faster pace.

Best wishes 🙂

I bought the course when it's on discount, with approx 200 USD for quant & verbal. Though I found the Quant section covers every topics needed on GMAT, I think the course itselt wasn't created to help you on the application with the structure of mainly video with not many testing in between to check your understanding.

In term of the question bank, I would say the number of the total questions is abundant and not too easy.

Verbal section is average to me so please don't expect much out of it. If you are looking for a verbal online course, I would recommend e-gmat verbal for improvement in SC and CR.

Overall, I thought that the Magoosh Premium product was very helpful in my preparation process. Their videos outlining the specific topics covered on the test were done at the exact right level of detail and the example problems were helpful in showing the different ways that a particular topic can be covered. The Magoosh math question bank had a lot of very good questions. I thought the verbal question bank also contained a lot of helpful questions, though I wished there were more reading comprehension and critical reasoning questions in the bank. That said, I think for the price charged, Magoosh was the single best product (that I came across) for both learning the concepts tested and practicing the topics through the question bank. I also utilized one of the Magoosh study schedules and thought that it was incredibly well-thought out and the key to my 750 score. I highly recommend the Magoosh product.

From 640 to 770 in 3 months.

Huge thanks to the Magoosh team for providing an excellent learning experience! Having ADHD makes revision a real struggle but I found that Magoosh's fun, engaging and easy-to-follow lessons enabled me to stay focused and motivated.

As well, the content is brilliant, covering everything you need to know, nothing more and nothing less. That being said, there are many questions labelled 'very hard' which will, if anything, over prepare you for the exam and help you to get a great score!

I would heavily recommend Magoosh to everyone looking for a fun way to practice for the GMAT. Also please do reach out to me for advice on any aspect of the exam, whether it be which resources to use or even general strategy tips - always happy to help!

Overall the premium covered everything that was on the GMAT, It didn't go in depth on the subjects but was a good way to restudy the material. It a great place to start if you're studying for the GMAT after graduating college. If they were to go in-depth on some of the subjects it would be perfect.
Their customer service is great. They quickly reached out to you if you have any problem and they also give two weeks of test trial.
Overall it helped me start from a 610 and know what I need to study for the future exam.
