i had bunch of books and other materials to access, but they were filled with explanatory paragraphs and so, therefore weren't practical at all. however, as i didn't have much time to prepare, magoosh was just like a heaven, with short videos of each question. you could watch it and learn only what you need about how to answer them each. if i wasn't tired and sleepy on the exam day, i know would score even higher, and i owe this success to magoosh. i am also grateful that they answered all of my questions in less than no time. thank you magoosh! :)

it was just 2 weeks before i thought of giving toefl exam to meet the summer application deadline. i had only 2 weeks to prepare. my wife suggested to use magoosh and she used it as well 4 years back. i prepared through magoosh only and in just 2 weeks of study i got 99. it was not even 2 weeks as full day i used to be in office working. so it was like 2 weeks and each day only 2 to 3 hours of magoosh study. i not even gave full test exam as i didn't had time. but despite of this, i scored 99 all due to magoosh.

magoosh improved my reading and listening section as i took all the test proposed, and i'm very satisfied for my investment in magoosh prep. i could get a better result for speaking and writing section if i'd pay attention more to this sections.

i was not at all confident about the speaking and writing part. magoosh lessons helped me understand how to organize my essays. also, the questions and tips on speaking were very helpful in understanding how to answer the question. magoosh's question bank is very similar to the real test

it was great in regards listening and reading tasks. although for speaking and writing was not that good. perhaps because it is difficult to receive feedback in this sections as they cannot be assessed automatically.

how did magoosh help you?
magoosh helped me with mainly reading and listening sections. i subscribed for only a week's access. i think listening section was more helpful for me. practice materials were really nice and covered all the possible topics. with more and more practice, i was able to filter out the important from not so important ones while taking down notes. reading materials helped as well. i am more than happy for a 25 on reading and 27 on listening considering this being my first attempt with only a week's preparation. could i ask more!!!? thank you magoosh
