What is Magoosh
Overview
Magoosh is an online test-preparation company offering video lessons, practice questions, and study plans for exams like GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, and IELTS.
It provides web and mobile access, analytics, and optional features such as essay or interview feedback in some plans.
How Magoosh is sold
Magoosh subscriptions can be purchased via the web, Apple App Store, or Google Play, but account management and refunds are handled centrally by Magoosh support.
Pricing shown in local app stores may be converted to other currencies; Magoosh documentation clarifies policy details on its Help Center.
How to cancel Magoosh
Primary cancellation method
- Email Magoosh support at [email protected] to request cancellation and/or refund.
- Include purchase date, account email, and order or receipt information in your message.
Steps to follow (step-by-step)
- Find your purchase receipt or app-store order confirmation with the purchase date.
- Email [email protected] within 7 days of purchase to request cancellation and refund.
- State whether you used essay/interview credits or enrolled in an installment plan (these affect eligibility).
- Keep confirmation emails and any reply from Magoosh as documentation of the request.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Cancelling normally prevents future renewals and subscription charges after the current paid period ends or after refund is processed.
If you receive a refund within the allowed window, access may be revoked once the refund is granted.
Account and data
Your account, progress, and data are retained by Magoosh per their terms unless you request account deletion separately from cancellation.
Contact support to ask about removing personal data if needed; include your account email in the request.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Magoosh offers a 7-day money-back guarantee: to receive a full refund you must contact them within 7 days of purchase.
This 7-day rule applies regardless of whether you purchased via web, Apple App Store, or Google Play, per Magoosh Help Center guidance.
Important exceptions and conditions
- Using essay or interview credits in TOEFL or IELTS prep plans voids the 7-day refund right.
- Installment plans follow the same 7-day rule; after the window closes no refund is available even if installments remain unpaid.
- Score-guarantee refunds are separate: if you meet their score-guarantee conditions (submission of prior score, full completion of prep, etc.) you may qualify for a refund under that policy.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Magoosh policy vs local law
Under Magoosh policy, Nigerian consumers are entitled to a 7-day full refund if requested within that window, regardless of purchase platform.
Magoosh documentation does not cite a 14-day cooling-off period or assert statutory Nigerian consumer-law reversal rights.
Installments and obligations
- Installment-plan users must request a refund within 7 days to obtain a refund; otherwise installments remain due.
- Pausing an installment plan does not extend the 7-day refund window under Magoosh terms.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users praise Magoosh for a user-friendly interface, clear video lessons, robust analytics, and a large question bank.
Some Nigerian users report prompt support and an overall positive learning experience.
Negative feedback
Occasional reports note ambiguous or unfairly worded practice questions in a small fraction of items.
Some users also find platform-specific inquiries (store refunds) confusing, requiring direct contact with Magoosh support.
Documentation checklist
Must-have items before emailing support
- Order receipt or app-store purchase confirmation showing the purchase date.
- The email address used for your Magoosh account.
- Transaction ID, invoice number, or last four digits of the payment card (if available).
Helpful additional items
- Screenshots of the purchase screen or app-store order page.
- Notes on whether you used essay/interview credits or are on an installment plan.
- Any prior correspondence with Magoosh about the purchase or issue.
Common mistakes
Missing the refund window
A frequent error is assuming you can request a refund after 7 days; Magoosh requires contact within the 7-day period for a full refund.
Do not rely on pausing subscriptions or disputes with the app store to extend this timeframe.
Assuming app-store cancellation is enough
Some users cancel only through the App Store or Google Play and do not email Magoosh; that can prevent a refund since Magoosh asks for direct contact.
Also, using disallowed credits (essay/interview) may void refund eligibility even if you contact support on time.
