  • Bernadette "Bernie" Chimner began teaching in 1999 for a major test prep company. Although she loved her job teaching and tutoring, she found herself unhappy with the company’s stance toward its students and teachers. Her quest for a company with a philosophy more akin to her own would take her through two other large test prep companies before she finally arrived at Griffon Prep. She brought with her an extraordinary reputation as an exceptional instructor and a vast knowledge of both the LSAT and the GRE.

    Bernie is extraordinary in her dedication to her students. She spends her time after class and during break answering questions and she goes to lengths to make sure she is in touch with her students between classes as well. As a teacher, she is patient, friendly, and gifted at explaining questions in a simple way.

    Bernie’s skillful teaching is backed by an array of exceptional test scores. She obtained a perfect 180 score on the LSAT in June 2005, has a perfect GRE math score of 800, and boasts both a GRE verbal score and a GMAT score in the 99th percentile.

    <p>Host: How do schools view multiple LSAT scores?</p><p>Bernadette Chimner: Some schools will average your scores and some schools will take your highest. About two years ago, there was a change and where schools were no longer required to average your score, now they have the option. They can either average or they can take your highest. What you need to know is that statistically speaking, the schools are going to consider your average to be the best indicator of your true ability unless you write some kind of addendum arguing and explaining why that higher score should be considered. That said, when it comes to their numbers for US News & World Report and the rankings that everybody is always very concerned with, your higher score is what they're going to be able to report. So your higher score is still going to carry a lot of weight in the admissions process.</p>
