Our verdict

Your bones don't break, mine do. That's clear. Your cells react to bacteria and viruses differently than mine. You don't get sick, I do. That's also clear. But for some reason, you and I react the exact same way to water. We swallow it too fast, we choke. We get some in our lungs, we drown. However unreal it may seem, we are connected, you and I. We're on the same curve, just on opposite ends.

Compared to other courses

My money's in that office, right? If she start giving me some bullshit about it ain't there, and we got to go someplace else and get it, I'm gonna shoot you in the head then and there. Then I'm gonna shoot that bitch in the kneecaps, find out where my goddamn money is. She gonna tell me too. Hey, look at me when I'm talking to you, motherfucker. You listen: we go in there, and that Winston or anybody else is in there, you the first motherfucker to get shot. You understand?

Students are saying

Here is some of what the community is saying about Kaplan, these are comments and posts from actual students discussing Kaplan and not bias testimonial:

Good things:

  • Magoosh offers satisfactory content for MCAT preparation.
  • The platform provides educational material that is deemed acceptable by some users.

Not so good things:

  • Practice questions and exams are criticized for being excessively difficult in ways not reflective of the actual exam.
  • The difficulty level of the questions is deemed unhelpful for effective preparation.
  • The user recommends alternatives like Khan Academy and reading through a book set for a similar level of content, implying that Magoosh may not offer a unique advantage.


Marketing vs reality

Score guarantee and Refund policy, short answer yes, but there are some specific terms and if you don't read and complete all the requirements as cited here then no refund.

What does it say vs what does it mean (can we do something to call this out as a banner or other visual). The real requirements, how do we present this in a way that is palatable for both the brand and the student.
