How long does it take to get through the Power score books? Also is there a real advantage for being URM?

I plan on buying the books and studding during the summer, will it take me the whole summer? How much does URM play in the admissions and lsat scores?

URM's do get a big boost in terms of LSAT scores but don't worry about that, just focus on getting a 180. I think you should spend at least 3 months studying, 5 months would be better.

So my LSAT score needs to be high in order to get that URM (AA male) boost? I hope to score a 166-8 or higher, I have great studding skills and I’m a great test taker, so what other things do you think that will be helpful to study for the LSAT?

You can do each book in a day if that is the only thing you are doing. The RC bible was beyond useless for me.

Hell yes there is a URM boost. But get as close to 180 as you can anyway.

URM boost can help if you have a low LSAT score, but you want a high LSAT score anyway because it will increase your chances of $$$ and getting into the very top schools. It doesn't really make up for GPA as much so if your GPA is low you need a great LSAT score whether you're a URM or not.

Either way, it's better to have a high LSAT score than a low LSAT score.
