GMAT Prep & Practice - Magoosh 4+

Explained in plain English.

I really appreciate Magoosh for respecting my time. I’m in my 40’s, single mom, 2 kids, etc. so I needed a get-to-the-point GMAT study app that I can easily pop on for a few minutes here and there. Magoosh also doesn’t use a bunch of jargon-y terms unless understanding them is needed for the test and then the jargon is translated into layman’s terms. This is what we do in medicine all the time but for some reason I hear business people using jargon as if it’s to their advantage to speak a different language which is confusing for those of us without a business background.

47 Year Old Taking the GMAT

I am currently studying for the exam. Initially, I chose a top-rated review program that is very expensive. I wish I had run across Magoosh initially. The Magoosh course seems to be offering more of what I need for the GMAT as a professional person (not currently in the business arena)who graduated from high school in 1990. Mainly, math is taught quite different compared to 30 years ago. The individual videos for each math topic have been most beneficial for me. Thank you, Magoosh.

Great but...

Great content, I like it better than Manhattan Prep which just drowns you with details and practice, but the app is lacking features that the web version has that are vital to studying. When you click practice problems it does not give you the option to filter by topic or category it’s just all math questions or all verbal questions in random order. That makes it impossible to practice specific topics on your mobile device. I know the database is there so it shouldn’t be difficult to add that feature that just seems like a huge miss that every other app has addressed already.

Also you must be connected to the internet which is not an issue for me most of the time but can be a huge issue for some.

Hey ToySold!er - thank you very much for this review. We've added this filter by question type feature request to our queue for possible future updates to the app. Please note that you're now able to download lesson videos for offline, on the go study :).
