my biggest problem with RC is in the AC. I feel like i perfectly understand every passage. But literally 4/5 RC questions I miss I'm able to narrow it down. I'm just a terrible guesser. I'm able to narrow it down to the final 2 that sound really similar, but always miss. If I sured that up, I'd be 3 or lower in RC all the time

Or be on alert for adjectives or characterizations that are subjective. "Opinion A fails to consider X." Whether something is a success or a failure is a subjective evaluation. If that evaluation is being made by the author, there you have the author's point of view. So in the questions, the correct answer would should conform to that evaluative claim.
Something like "The author would agree that...There are more factors relevant to [Subject] than [Proponents of Opinion A] put forth." Or something like that.

Is that typically true when its not the author's PoV I'm looking for but a subjects as well? For example, "Which of the following would the economists described in the passage most likely agree with?" Are they the same type of wording or should I be looking for something else as well?

It's supposed to be the biggest blizzard in the past several years so I'm thinking snow day!

haha Hope so, might even mean half day tm.. since it takes me 45 min to get home and I leave at 5...

just hope they say don't come in(which I highly doubt... knock on wood)
I might have to go crazy with LSAT so I can take a nice break to go mess around driving in the snow

I'd do plenty of nasty things for a Hami, and waiting out a cycle is probably the least of them.
There's def a Hamilton with your name on it, sfogs.
Think of all those shoes/bags/etc. you will be able to buy when your only loans are for "living expenses."
I would do very naughty things for just 5-6 more points even.
I see very good things for us next cycle. I'm super optimistic and excited.

Aw pep, I hope that breakthrough comes! Keep studying hard, but you will be in good company if you feel June would be better.

Yes, I am crossing my fingers for you, but June will do just as well, too!

Hell, if you can win at Monopoly in that time you should run for President.

Luckiest game ever. In like ten turns I had two full sets of properties. We're playing again, so if it happens twice I'm buying a lottery ticket.

I've seen that. Sadly I'm too passionate about wanting to be a lawyer. We must all be crazy on some level.
