    Better off waiting because your permit may not be any good with them. Either way you'll have to stay with the class through everything for the most part except those who fall behind. I wouldn't worry about it anyway. It would cost you more to get it ahead of time then just letting the schooling do it in the included schooling cost.

    Just a little info.....I actually spoke to someone at Prime today and asked if I needed my permit beforehand (because other companies I'm considering require me to) and she said "no", it would just help you get a step ahead. So I pretty much took that as just study the hell out of the manual, take as many practice test as you can find and save yourself the $50.
