magoosh describes the toefl exam structure and its questions types nicely; hence i did not have to refer to ets. plenty of quality sample questions are provided. lucas fink gives lucid explanations as to why each option is correct or wrong in reading and listening sections and also gives sample answers for writing and speaking sections. these are very important. the ways in which one needs to answer the speaking and writing tasks were really helpful. you can safely subscribe to magoosh to tackle the toefl!

magoosh provided me with the most challenging questions, so the actual questions on the test day seemed pretty easy. it covers a whole range of topics, and not just a few repetitive patterns, so on the test day, i was completely prepared to answer anything and everything. kudos. ????

it was extremely useful particularly for the speaking section. the idea of just jotting down two bullet points and elaborating on them was a particularly useful. the listening questions were also pretty similar to what i got on the actual test.

magoosh provide pretty useful video lessons that allows me to know better about the test and the customized test make me getting used to the test format. i was especially weak on the reading section. i was never able to finish a long reading, understand the text well and then do all the questions correct. but with the help of the strategy i learned from the video and perseverance, my reading score improve from 19 to 25 within 30 days. my goal is to get a 30 next time. i think i will keep using magoosh on my study!

the videos are just excellent.the listening practice clips are just similar to the actual ets ones in terms of vocabulary,tone and themes.the tips for writing and speaking section can be alone responsible for a high score.
i did not needed much practice for the reading part as i had already appeared for my gre but i found them helpful as well.i achieved this high score by just practicing for less than two weeks.

first of all magoosh gave me the confidence to complete all the questions within the prescribed time. i was a bit uncomfortable with the speaking section which magoosh solved for me thanks to the caliber of the questions that mirrored the actual toefl. furthermore, the quality of the questions on other sections were also top notch, analogous to that of the actual toefl and the explanation videos were a jewel in itself with patient and detailed explanations by lucas. in short, the learning process was fun and i enjoyed learning new subjects (from the passages) as well as the english language itself.

magoosh really helped me a lot. i bought the package only 6 days before my test, so i focused only on speaking and writing. it was very important to practice and know the different types of questions. the text template for writing was amazing. i followed it 100% and the score was very good. speaking was also good, because i could listen to the videos and try to reproduce the way of doing it. i got more confident and the result was a success. thank you very much.
