Strengths:

Great for re-learning math basics and getting a simple walkthrough of important principles. Also good structure for those who rely on that as they prep.

Would make the product better:

Verbal leaves something to be desired--lots of erroneous answers, and not much variety.

Really great for a clear, simple, structured approach to GMAT prep for those just getting started. If you're looking to relearn the basics of math, their explanations (and interface) is stellar--I especially like the encyclopedic layout of all the math concept videos.

However, if verbal is where you're focusing, look elsewhere. I didn't find their verbal to be helpful anywhere past the 650+ level. Plus, their practice test score estimates are well, well below where you end up (e.g. 100+ point gap between their estimate and an official test the next week).

Good for people just getting started, but if you're past that--pursue other prep materials.

My experience with Magoosh was just ok. While some of the videos do a fine job of explaining concepts, the practice questions themselves are unrealistic and don't quite resemble the types of questions and thinking tested on the GMAT. For verbal, I recommend sticking to official sources and LSAT questions. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with the verbal content, but it didn't really push my level of understanding. For quant, many of the questions are significantly more computation heavy than what one encounters on the actual exam, and don't train the right mental muscles. I used Magoosh for my first attempt on the exam, and switched to TTP for my second. I had much better results and understanding with TTP.

Interface is easy to use and navigate
Tutor responses are efficient and can be accessed through email or live chat (Only TTP provides such a feature). However on live chat the personnel responding are always different and as such the quality of responses notably does differ
Course content I found to be not entirely comprehensive although I used the material as a refresher for a resit
Quant content less thorough then other generalist providers such as GMATPrepnow and significantly less than targeted providers such as TTP
Financial cost of the course is reasonably priced with good accessibility as purchase provides 6 month access. Furthermore course price is frequently discounted during seasonal sales. They also offer money back score guarantee if a point increase is not met
Recommendation would be that the course is good for general knowledge of the syllabus for both quant and verbal but I agree with many that the content is lacking depth

Magoosh is definitely a good starter kit for someone new to GMAT and not willing to spend the big bucks. They have a series of video lessons which are excellent concept builder. The slides are interesting and provides the required information. I would recommend it mostly for the theory part of the GMAT preparation. One specific area where they excel is the expert response. I haven't used any other prep services but any question related to any area of GMAT are promptly responded by them within 24 hours! I have even asked SC related questions from external materials and they were gladly answered

The best part of Magoosh is that it available for access for a complete year.So you don't have to worry about renewal.
The question bank is good and explanations are also good. But for non native speaker it does less to add to the skill set.
Support is for sure the best of all.You can expect reply within a day .

But the team needs to increase quality questions in their banks. After they are exhausted you get the same question for practice test also which definitely gives a false picture of your actual score.

So overall it is good only if you are native speaker else it does less to help.

I will highly recommend Magoosh's Quant to those who are just starting with their preparation. The amount of Questions which Magoosh has will be enough to put you in the territory of Q47. For a score greater than Q47 I think the best you can reach is Q48 provided that you attempt each and every question but I think you will require more resources than that.
The content is great and supported with Magoosh articles it will definitely lay down a solid foundation in terms of concepts.

I will not recommend Magoosh's Verbal Course as it is not as structured and detailed as it should be for a non-native speaker. For that I will recommend E-GMAT Verbal online prep.

Thank you

Ok,

I I started preparing for my GMAT in September 2016 and Signed Up for the Magoosh Premium.
The Maths part was good.
I was getting 620+ on Magoosh CATS and GMATPrep Exams.
But on my Actual GMAT, I got 550.
I would not like to blame Magoosh for what happened but yes, their course is not for everyone, especially non-native English Speakers.
Their Maths course is good and the Questions are also OKOK.
But, after a certain point the questions start to repeat themselves and you start to memorize answers.
I would suggest people to only go in for that course if you are looking for a score boost in Quant at an economical rate.

I would reccomend E-GMAT for Verbal and Manhattan Books for Quant to Everyone along with atleast 1-2 hours everyday on GMATClub solving concept questions and Solving OG Questions.
I am rescheduling my GMAT in August and going along with E-GMAT and Manhattan Books coupled with OG and GMAT Club Concept Questions.

Hoping This will make a difference.

Here is my final verdict on Magoosh

Verbal - **
Two Stars as for an intermediate learner their content is good

Quant - ***
Three Stars as for a beginner they can get you half way, not full way

IR - **
Two Stars as for an intermediate learner their content is good

AWA - *****
They can get you the 6 score in AWA

Magoosh's GMAT prep software is quite easy to use. The modules are very comprehensive and well laid out. The only problem with Magoosh is that the verbal section goes into in depth detail of grammar and the use of tenses etc. when you actually don't need that deep a level of understanding. It's a great starter to the GMAT prep journey but I wouldn't recommend it to push you into the deeper end of 700's. Use Magoosh in your early stages of preparation to familiarize with the various concepts of Math that are covered under GMAT and the types of grammar covered under the verbal section of GMAT.

Video explanations of Magoosh are really good . Magoosh prep will help to brush up all basics . When I started my preparation for gmat , I was looking for some online classes which will help me in the right direction and Magoosh gave that confidence .

Coming to question bank it is limited , and same questions are popping up during full length tests as well . full length tests are not giving the right picture of my preparation . Though video explanation for each question is very helpful.

I would say , Magoosh is good for kick starting ones preparation .

Support from Magoosh team was fantastic !!!!

I took this course reading the great reviews and knowing I can study the material via apps on my phone since I travel every week being a consultant. I studied on flights, during lunch breaks, nights after work, made notes of important things. But in my practice mocks, I couldn't see much improvement, I moved from 550 to 650. I benefited a lot from Math section but Verbal score didn't see much jump. I realized that the SC course is teaching me excellent grammar details that I'm unable to retain, so it wasn't working well in my case, also I found CR section less detailed than required, with me unable to apply strategy consistently. So I realized I need another course for Verbal that was more practical for my current low level, I'm sure this course is great for a lot other people, but I couldn't derive the same benefit. But I kept coming back to Magoosh for other great things they offer : tips, idiom ebooks, math videos, question bank to practice timing, etc. I finally gave my first GMAT and got a satisfactory 730, and Magoosh did play 50 % role, so deserves credit. Their material is great, but can be improved.
