ACT Score Improvement Made Easy

Who should use Magoosh?

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

• Busy families: those who don't have the time or flexibility in their schedule for live classes.
• Self-studiers: students who prefer to prep at their own pace with tutoring support as needed.
• Video-lovers: students who learn better by watching videos than by reading or live-learning. Most Magoosh ACT practice questions have their own video explanation.

How does the course work? ?

Magoosh is 100% online. No DVDs. No books needed. It works on both Macs and PCs: any device with an internet connection! You can also study on your Android or iOS device with our ACT Prep Coach & Practice App or on your mobile browser.

If I'm struggling with a question, can I get help?

Of course! We are happy to help you with any concerns or questions you have about any of our material. Send us a message while you're studying, and one of our ACT tutors will get back to you quickly.

How does the study planner work?

The study tracker on your dashboard helps keep track of the amount of material you've worked on and how many days per week you've studied for the ACT. For advance planning, you can follow one of our expert-curated study schedules.

There are multiple students in my family. Do I need to purchase separate accounts for each of them?

Our platform is designed to be used by one student on each account to ensure accurate scoring. If you have more than one student in your family taking the SAT or ACT you may be eligible for a discount — please email us at help@magoosh.com before signing up and we'll take care of you.

I'm a sophomore or junior and I need access for over a year!

Do you offer essay grading?

While Magoosh doesn't grade your practice essays for you, we do offer assistance and ACT writing test strategies via email.

Do you have resources or prep offerings for educators?

Yes! You can visit our Educators page to learn more.

How close is the material to the actual ACT?

Extremely close. Our instructors use similar methods as the test makers to develop content, and our practice questions are regularly reviewed by experienced ACT experts to match the style and difficulty of official test questions. Unlike printed test prep books, we're able to continuously update our materials based on feedback and performance data from thousands of students. We rank the questions by difficulty to help you master the basics and progress towards your target score.

Do I need to have taken the test before?

Nope! Previously having taken the test is not required. Many of our students are first-time ACT test-takers. So, if you're ready to start studying now, don't hesitate to sign up! Our lessons will teach you everything you need to know about the ACT, and our instructors go in-depth on topics you may not have fully covered in your classes.

Do you offer a diagnostic test?

We do! Premium plans include an online diagnostic test to help you assess your strengths and weaknesses. The diagnostic test takes about 60 to 75 minutes to complete — it doesn't have to be in one sitting. We also have exclusive practice tests that provide you with a score estimate — these are timed and help you with performance under real test-taking conditions.

How does the score guarantee work?

We guarantee after completing our premium program, you'll see a 4-point increase over your old scores, or we'll give you all of your money back. Click here for details.

How does the refund policy work?

If you’re unhappy for any reason, email us within 7 days of purchasing, and we will give you a full refund. No strings attached.

How many times will I be charged?

You'll only be charged one time for any paid ACT plan. We don't store your credit card information, so we definitely won't charge you on a monthly basis or anything like that. It's a one-time, upfront fee, and that's it.

Which types of payment do you accept?

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover as well as PayPal. We process all our transactions through Paypal, so your credit card info is safe.

I'm a Magoosh student studying for the SAT. Can I have a discount if I add a Magoosh ACTplan?

We'd love to have you study with us again. If you've subscribed to any other Magoosh plan, email us at help@magoosh.com and we'll help you out.

Can I purchase SAT and ACT prep together?
