How did Magoosh help you?
I used to run out of time in the verbal section. Even though I tried to time my reading in paper based material, I did not get much improvement until I used Magoosh. The timer of each question is really convenient and it exerts the pressure of the test on me. In addition, the questions in Magoosh are really closed to the actual test, even more difficult. After doing lots of Magoosh questions, I found the actual test questions easy! In addition, the video lessons and the Magoosh support are very useful. Thanks to Carolyn for answering my questions so patiently and in time.
Magoosh is a play on the Old Persian word magush, one who is highly learned, wise and generous.
