  • 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 can I study for the verbal portion of the GRE?</p><p>Bernadette Chimner: The best way to get started studying for the verbal portion is to go and find a word list and there are word lists are available anywhere, almost everywhere online. You can just Google and find a word list very quickly.</p><p>There are also word lists sold in almost every single book store and your vocabulary is going to play a very huge role in the antonyms, the analogies and the sentence completion. So you want to start learning those words, putting them on flashcards and just getting as many vocabulary words into yourself as you can. Now, it is important not to just focus on the hardest words. If you can find a word list that's in levels, that's even better, because the computer adaptive test will adapt to you. So if you only learn the hardest words, but you stumble on those medium words, all of your learning will be for nothing. You need to get those medium words in solid before you go onto the hard ones.</p>
