Magoosh fits families who want a few weeks of solid prep without a big upfront bill. Premium costs $49 per month and includes more than 2,500 practice questions with video or text explanations, over 200 video lessons, up to 3 practice tests, study schedules, a score predictor and an AI tutor that explains questions. The $149 per month plan adds more than 18 hours of on-demand classes from a 99th-percentile instructor. Magoosh says paying annually saves money, and there is a 7-day free trial plus a 7-day money-back guarantee. Its +100 point guarantee only covers students whose previous score was 1350 or below, so high scorers get no guarantee. With 3 practice tests at most, pair it with Bluebook for extra full-length practice.
