how did magoosh help you?
practice excercises are very good. i completed each set of excersices on the dashboard (listening, reading, speaking, writing). the structure and difficulty were pretty similar to the real test, so during the test i felt very confident because i i was very used to the types of questions. |

how did magoosh help you?
i practiced one week. just one week with magoosh. your materials are awesome. juggling an 8 hour working shift with preparations is a big deal. i was extremely nervous before the exams. but once the exam started i was at ease as magoosh had provided much tougher questions keeping true to the testing patterns. |

how did magoosh help you?
for my part, magoosh helped me gain an understanding of each section, as well as how to prepare for each of them. but one thing that i lacked was a basic understanding of the test format in itself, which is something magoosh could not prepare me for. other than that, i would 100% refer magoosh toefl to a friend :) |

magoosh helped me in training myself: i had only 3 weeks for improving my vocabulary and listening skills and it gave me the opportunity to increase the speed of my reading capability. it also suggested me very useful topics to talk about for my speaking and writing exercises. |

how did magoosh help you?
i would say that "how to organize the task" is the thing i learnt from magoosh. without strategies as described in the magoosh videos, it is very difficult to go through such a lengthy test. magoosh trained me to focus during the test,especially how to tackle with a long reading section.the "five paragraph essay" and knowing its structure is a boon.thank you, magoosh and lucas fink |
