Please tell me what you think of this order:

Audit - beginning August 2010 (I will have a good amount of time to study for this, starting from May to end of July. My only plans for this summer are studying for AUD, working out, and doing an audit internship which I hope will supplement my studying for this section).

Financial - end of December 2010 OR beginning January 2011 (I plan on studying for this section from September through December; however, I will be a full-time graduate student working 20 hours on the side).

Regulation - May 2011 (I plan on studying for this from Jan./Feb. through May; however, I will be a full-time graduate student working 20 hours on the side. I may decide to postpone this exam until July 2011, as I don't think REG will be my strongest field.)

Business Environment - October 2011 (I plan on studying this during summer 2011 and early Fall. In September, I will *hopefully* be starting full-time with the CPA firm I intern with in summer 2010).

Please tell me what you think of this order, and provide any advice based on your experience.

I think that's too spread out. You should plan on taking at least one section per window.

How many hours a week will you be studying? You should probably put in around 100 for each depending on your strenghts/weaknesses.

I think its too spread out as well. You will not be able to test in December since testing is closed. If I were you I would take FARE and Reg this year before the changes to the exam go in effect 1/2011
