Frequently Asked Questions

Who should use Magoosh?

Anyone can use Magoosh! Our prep works best for individuals who fall into one of the following categories:

  • Self-studiers: students who prefer to study on their own time and at their own pace.
  • Video-lovers: students who learn better by watching videos than by reading or live-learning. Every Magoosh ACT practice question has its own video explanation.
  • Busy students: those who do not have much time to study and want to sneak in a practice session here and there.
