How did Magoosh help you?
The practice questions were essential! But in addition, I followed the math-intensive study plan which gave me exactly what I needed to do every day. I watched all of the math videos twice and then rewatched the tricky ones every morning while making breakfast. And the vocab flash cards were a huge game-changer as well.

But the biggest thing was just providing structure. I was working full time as a teacher (48+ hours a week) with lots of travel while also taking a microeconomics class. Having the structure and knowing that if I stuck to the plan I would have a good showing was huge. And then having a guide for the day of and the days leading up to it were also huge. Knowing what to expect the first time walking into the testing center relieved a lot of stress.
Magoosh is a play on the Old Persian word magush, one who is highly learned, wise and generous.
