I will am scheduled to attend the Testmasters LSAT test prep this July but wanted to get an early start on studying so I bought LG bible and LR bible. Is it a bad idea to study these Powerscore books before I start any of Testmaster's material. Will the strategies/methods conflict and just create confusion for me? Should I just wait and strictly study what Testmasters says? Any ideas or suggestions on preparing before the actual prep course? Thanks.

The way they teach you to diagram games are very similar to each other. There are a few different ways they teach you to note or highlight certain rules/deductions/variables, but I don't believe it will negatively affect you at all.

TestMasters does expand a bit more on some game types (especially In/Out games) than the LGB does though, so that will help you out more in the future once you take the class.

I completed both the LG and LR Bibles before attending a Testmasters Prep Course. I thought the bibles enhanced my test performance, and their methodologies do not conflict with Testmasters. In fact, it helped me build a solid foundation. With this base, I was better able to comprehend the material presented in class.

It can only help. Anything that you're trying to learn, is easier to learn and you're able to comprehend it better, if you're able to connect it to things you already know.
