Hey Tim,
Thanks for the message and welcome to the Forum! This is a great question so I'm glad you took the time to request some answers.
I'm gathering from what you wrote that Logical Reasoning is your intended focal point as you continue preparing? If so, then I think the proper path materials-wise depends on where you feel you still need the most work
within LR.
That is, if you find that difficulties arise due to misunderstanding core concepts—things like "What is Assumption Negation and how/why does it work?" or "What are the most common categories of faulty reasoning in Flaw questions and how can I spot them in both stimuli and answer choices?"—then I think a combination of your Live Online Course archives (the recordings available to you of your class sessions) and the Logical Reasoning Bible text is a great solution. In fact, if you read those two hypothetical questions I just posed and don't feel entirely confident and comfortable answering them, then that's a likely sign some additional concept work is a good idea
What you'll find is that the broader, interactive presentation of (and re-exposure to) material in your class sessions, wedded to the comprehensiveness and detail of the LRB's explanations and question breakdowns, will produce a rock-solid foundation upon which further practice, and eventual success, can be reliably built.
Further, one arguably less obvious benefit of the Reasoning Bible (something that we hear a lot from students who use it post-course) is that it takes every LR concept on the test—the discussions spread across an entire course's worth of content—and consolidates them into a unified, structured source. So from a usefulness standpoint, a single-book tool is hard to beat!
On the other hand if you believe you've got a great grasp on the theory but struggle in the application, then the Workbook is perfect. In it you'll find a plethora of skill-honing exercises to refine your technique and ensure that you're approaching the actual test content in the ideal way.
And finally—and I swear this isn't a sales move haha—those two books, the Bible and Workbook, were intentionally crafted for a partnership. We see them both as highly valuable stand-alone resources, but I believe (and others would undoubtedly agree) that together they're more than just the sum of their parts: they complement each other and allow for the fullest understanding possible, an understanding built from tremendous conceptual knowledge followed by, and coupled with, extensive reinforcement.
So really you're looking at the ultimate one-two...three, really...punch! (1) The course gives you a fantastic overview of the entire exam and provides insight into your strengths and weaknesses and areas that need further attention; (2) The Logical Reasoning Bible let's you focus that further attention like a laser beam, dialing in on the extreme details of individual concepts to crystallize your understanding; (3) The Workbook gives you opportunity after opportunity to practice applying the concepts you've learned until you've mastered them and are truly, unshakably test-day ready.
In short, what you choose to employ is situational, but whether you buy one, the other, or both there's utility and value to be found, and I trust that you'll find it
Let me know if that helps or if you have some additional questions, and I'll be happy to assist you further!
Jon
