There is no hard and fast rule for any of this. Certainly you can profitably integrate the scriptorium technique into any stage of learning with any method. If you combine it with shadowing, then a fine practice on a day with nice weather is to march around the park for 15 minutes, then sit down on a bench and spend another 15 minutes writing out a good portion of what you have just shadowed aloud. There is no inherent reason why you cannot do this with FSI basic, but… in all honesty, that method is so deliberately boring (read the introduction—they call it “overlearning,” and I suppose it does work), that to spend even more time writing out the same sentences might be so dulling that, over time, your overall motivation to continue studying at all might be adversely affected. With Assimil or other methods, again, the only difference between doing it with each lesson as you learn it or after you complete the course is how long a sentence fragment you will be able to read and write without looking at the text again.
