how did magoosh help you?
before magoosh i took offline classes from princeton review last year. by the end of first week i wasn't even familiar with exam structure and was just asked read random tpassages and answer questions, then my mentor would just ask me to speak on any random topic, she would sometimes choose a random section and then start teaching. and this didn't led me anywhere. i eventually didn't gave toefl after toefl syllabus was finished because i felt like i know nothing. this time i read some reviews about magoosh and i already had gre account so i decided to try magoosh for toefl as well, it cost me 3 times less than princeton review and has 10 times better content. all videos helped me familiarize with exact exam pattern. every tip in the videos were helpful. especially the one on how you should read a passage to score good. in writing section i just followed instructions lucas gave, start very general and then eventually narrow down to the topic. also, practice questions helped a lot as they toughened me for the hardest toefl questions. in summary, magoosh is everything one needs to prepare for toefl. thanks |

to practice as same as the real toefl exam that helps me in terms of timing, how to think effectively in speaking and writing parts. furthermore, magoosh toefl preparation is more difficult than the real ets toefl exam, which can improve students to the next step. |

learn about the different parts in the toefl. learn about strategies and how to think when answering different types of questions. the best part was the practice questions! they helped me pass the test. be able to practice the same types of questions appearing on the actual toefl, but many more. |
