Magoosh helped me tons! First I was studying with a book only but got bored with all the reading. Watching the videos and doing the exercises kept me motivated even when I felt exhausted.. I tried to do the 1 month training, then I did the 2 weeks. The last 2 days before the test I watched the videos as they suggested. Really good and encouraging!

How did Magoosh help you?
I used Magoosh TOEFL prep and followed the 1-month study plan for the TOEFL iBT test. Without Magoosh materials I would not have been able to score 110 points (R = 29, L = 30, S = 29, W = 22).

Recap of the exam:
Reading section - 4 passages. 80 minutes. I spent 25 minutes on the first passage because I read the passage before I started answering questions. This was a bad decision. For the next three paragraphs I changed my strategy and used the one that You proposed - go straight to questions. This was very helpful as I finished the other three passages in 50 minutes and had 5 minutes to check some of the answers that I was unsure of.
Listening section - Two sets of 17 questions each. While practicing I answered the questions quickly, but during the exam I took my time to work through all the answers choices and find the best possible option for every question. 30 points prove that this was the right strategy.
Speaking section - First independent speaking question was awful. I spoke for 30 seconds, had a 5 second mental breakdown/mute mode, and during the remaining 10 seconds I repeated what I said in the beginning. I told myself that this is not the way to perform and there are five more tasks ahead, so I regrouped and found my focus. The rest of the speaking questions went well and I had a good feeling about them. Even though I felt that I messed up one question the overall score for the speaking section was very good.
Writing section - Magoosh materials for writing the integrated essay really helped me as they pointed out what exactly should I include and how the essay should be structured. Final essay was around 250 words with three body paragraphs and an introduction. I spent 1 minute thinking what to write, 15 minutes to write the essay, and 4 minutes to proofread.
In contrast to the integrated one, the independent essay was not my cup of tea. The topic was something which I have not given much thought and I struggled finding content and examples. I aimed to write a five paragraph essay with an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Probably two of the body paragraphs overlapped and it was difficult for the reader to follow the ideas because they were not well developed. I knew straight away that the independent essay was the weakest part of my exam.

Magoosh helped me a lot! I got exposure to all the different types of questions across all the sections. Their advice about reading the relevant part of the passage after reading the question helped me get through the reading section much faster. My performance in the listening section improved significantly through Magoosh's practice questions.

Magoosh team helped me to become more confident about the TOEFL iBT by improving my understanding of the test. Very good lessons and comprehensive explanations to each practice question by Lucas Fink were very helpful for the preparation. Overall, I think that my TOEFL score would not be as high if I didn't know about Magoosh. My total score and the subscores are very good for my purposes. Thank you for your help!
