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.

Host: What should I do the night before my exam?

Bernadette Chimner: The night before your exam you should not cram. You should just relax and you do something really fun for you like a movie. If you do feel to need to study just to calm yourself down. It's important not to study any content that is don't try any new problems that you never seen before because you can really get you unnerved because you are going to be so nervous already it's very easy to make a simple mistake and you certainly going to find your confidence to shattered. So whereas in studying content if you do feel to need to study the night before study in the method. Instead of really working the problem make yourself to how you would work the problem so that you are really thinking about step one and going to be the step two. I am going to set it up this way and that way you are not going to risk making yourself really nervous.
