A.M. Best Company

Read a random definition: Weingarten right

A quick definition of A.M. Best Company:

A.M. Best Company: A company that helps people decide if other companies are financially strong or not. They give grades from A++ (the strongest) to D (the weakest). If a company gets an E, it means the state is watching them closely, and if they get an F, it means they are closing down.

A more thorough explanation:

A.M. Best Company is a service that analyzes and advises on investments. They rate the financial strength of businesses on a scale from A++ (strongest) to D (weakest). If a company is under state supervision, they receive a grade of E, and if they are in liquidation, they receive an F.

For example, if a company receives a rating of A+, it means that they have a strong financial standing and are a good investment option. On the other hand, if a company receives a rating of C-, it means that they have a weak financial standing and may not be a good investment option.

If a company receives a rating of E, it means that they are being closely monitored by the state and may be at risk of financial instability. If a company receives a rating of F, it means that they are in the process of liquidation and are not a good investment option.

These ratings help investors make informed decisions about where to invest their money and which companies to avoid.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
