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.

Transcripts

Bernadette Chimner: My name is Bernadette. I am with Griffon Preparation Services and now I am talking with you about how to prepare for GRE.

Host: How much should I study for the GRE?

Bernadette Chimner: That depends a lot on how highly you need the score for your GRE. Some programs just require basic minimum score. So if you are really looking at a program like that where it is required for example for you to break a thousand, you want to go and download a practice test from gre.

org and see how you are scoring now. That will give you a good idea of how much you are going to need to practice.

Now if you need to bring one of those sections up by more than say 80 points you are going to need to give yourself, I would recommend at least a month and if you are going into one of those programs that's a lot more competitive like Veterinary school or Clinical psychology then you want to set aside a lot more time to study because you are going to need to score a lot higher, it's going to be very, very competitive.
