How did Magoosh help you?
I would like to credit Magoosh with my success as it wouldn't have been possible without the excellent support and guidance throughout the lessons. When I began I was quite nervous as initially my band scores would fall in the range of 6.00-6.05 however lessons helped me understand and apply concepts with ease and ensured I was well prepared and confident on test day :) Thank you Eliot and the entire team at Magoosh as it wouldn't have been possible without you guys. You brought me a step closer to my dream university and I can't be grateful enough.

The techniques are very helpful and saved me a lot of time during the difficult parts, which where for me writing and listening. The videos are very motivating and much better than any book!

With the help provided by Magoosh, It took me only one month of preparation to get an overall band score of 8 , which was exactly my goal in the IELTS Academic. Magoosh was my mentor throughout the process, with all the invaluable guidance offered in their videos and the countless practice questions available on their site. Magoosh was beyond awesome

All the listening test questions were fantastic, especially the one with the maps, they challenged me just enough to make the real test seem like a cake walk!

The keywords and stock phrases in the writing module helped me a lot in framing my answers, I was able to answer exactly what the questions were asking me without wasting too much time on drafting or looking for appropriate words or synonyms, which is an absolute gift for non-native speakers who constantly mull over or maybe even forget certain words.

How did Magoosh help you?
It helped me greatly because of the condensed and selected teaching material. The video format was very useful for me. I did a couple of practice questions but focused more on watching all the lessons and reading a lot. I never used the complete test simulation, nor the essay review and still managed to get a really good score. I got congratulated by the test center when I picked up my result.

How did Magoosh help you?
I was able to get a score of 9.0 in Reading and 8.5 in the Listening section particularly because of Magoosh's lessons and practice material. Finishing the entire question bank of these two sections not only sharpened my focus and skimming but also substantially improved my pace of getting through the questions. Getting your essays graded is another great feature to know where you fall short in writing, their review allowed me to know my unintentional errors and I made sure to not repeat them on the exam day. All in all, I will recommend Magoosh's IELTS course to anyone looking for solid preparation.

I started with magoosh practice sets 2 months ago. I am a busy professional so wanted to get the most of my 2 hour night study sessions. Your interface is spectacular. I don't have to flip pages to see answer or need a stopwatch with me to assess my time. It was all taken care of.
In addition, the amount of practice sets provided is enormous. One can keep practicing and getting better at it and they won't run out.
Also, the answers and description from the instructor about why this should be an answer helped me understand the issues I had.
I think your course was an essential factor in getting a good score in the IELTS and I would recommend it to all.

As always, i like the way you guys teach. This started with GRE lessons, though i wasn't able to buy that course, it helpmed me get a very good idea about how Magoosh team works. The lessons are carefully planned and the practice questions are a bit tough which prepared me well for the actual exam. I had less than a month for preparation but I was able to get a 8. I come from the country side of India, a non English speaker to begin worth, this is indeed an achievement for me :) Thank You guys! May God bless you.

Hi,

I really loved the videos and pricing strategy( 1 week, 1 month and 6 months). Maggosh videos are very informative, very helpful and yet very affordable. These videos provide every piece of information that is required to ace the IELTS. I have a very little preparation time(20 Days infact) so I was unable to go through all the practice questions , but I assume those are also very good.Quality of the video materials are high. I am going to sit for IELTS(GT) in june 2018 again and will utilise all the practice questions this time. Grammer lessons are also very helpful.

I really love the Maggosh IELTS instructor Eliot Friesen-Meyers. He is a good guy and very skilled person. His presentation is very effective.Maggosh provides 90+ Video lessons which covers all the areas in fact.

I don't know wheather Maggosh provide feedback/scoring for writing and speaking section , If Maggosh provides feedback on Speaking and Writing then it would be a tremendous help for the students. Maggosh can also introduce full length mock tests. Practice test are very necessary. After learning all the strategies student can earn mastery only through practicing.

Overally I rate Maggosh 5 out of 5. If Maggosh introduce feedback/scoring webinar then that will provide more help to students.

For now this all about from myside. Please let me know if there is any other query. I am very satisfied with Maggosh indded
