experience rating

Read a random definition: jury chancellor

A quick definition of experience rating:

Experience rating: A way to figure out how much someone should pay for insurance by looking at how many times they've had to make a claim in the past and how much money was paid out for those claims. This helps insurance companies decide how likely it is that something bad will happen and how much it might cost them if it does.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Experience rating is a method used by insurance companies to determine the amount of premium an insured person or business should pay based on their past loss record. This method helps assess the risk of covered events occurring and the probable damages if they do.

Example: Let's say a small business has been insured for three years. During the first year, they had no claims, but in the second year, they had two claims totaling $10,000. In the third year, they had one claim for $5,000. The insurance company will use experience rating to analyze the business's loss record over the three years to determine the amount of premium they should pay for the fourth year. Based on the business's past loss record, the insurance company may increase the premium to cover the risk of future claims.

Explanation: The example illustrates how experience rating works in practice. The insurance company uses the business's past loss record to assess the risk of future claims and determine the amount of premium they should pay. In this case, the business had two claims in the second year, which increased their risk of future claims. As a result, the insurance company may increase the premium to cover the increased risk.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
Remember, all people who go to law school having to do LSAT prep is also about social engineering lol Like you should have some shared basis in how you think/talkk, hence "lawyer talk," but how do they choose which ones to release for everyone to do, from a content perspective? Is it a coincidence we get many climate change content questions? LOL So what i am getting at is that is sometimes VERY subjective lol So dont beat yourself up TOO bad on arts in RC, but obvs work on it.
How many t-14s are appropriate to apply to if i have a 170 lsat
this is for next cycle
everyone saying medians are gonna be crazy so idk what i should be aiming for. 3.9+ gpa if it matters
r/lsa makes me feel like im stupid for having a 170 lol
@RasheedWallaceFan: your gpa is above all medians, so apply broadly
Okay thank you for the input, the other thing im struggling with is just making a school list in general. I am insecure so im like do i have to apply to 5 low ranked schools just in case? I guess I am trying to figure out where the "safety" cutoff is and my list right now is 25 schools so idk if thats too much
@RasheedWallaceFan: 25 is on the high end, but you should apply to however many you feel comfortable with. imo, a safety is anywhere you are well above both medians. you can look at my school list for inspo if you'd like
you shouldn't apply to anywhere you wouldn't realistically go if it was your only offer
for sure, thank you a lot. Have fun at michigan that will be awesome!

i do them in between studying to keep sane
@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)
@NosyBeagle: that is so real

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.

i already became one in undergrad so ill fit right in
Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
