Cpadoneus, you should decide for yourself whether you need the CPA designation. I believe you have certain time management problems (expiring credits). You should take at least two parts in one testing window. FAR is more difficult than the AUD (volume-wise), and you haven't even taken it yet. 18 months pass extremely fast. You have only 6 testing windows (you know that).
Back to your first question. Buy the Gleim Book + CD (very easy and cheap). Answer all questions on the CD and make sure that you get at least 85-90%. Auditing is the second easiest part (after the BEC), but it's (in my opinion) the treakiest one. Many questions seem to have two correct answers. It means that you have to understand the materrial very well. The Gleim CD describes why one answer is correct and the others are not. Make sure that you understand explanations.
Just my opinion: schedule the AUD for the end of May; FAR - end of August, REG (or BEC) - beginning of October, and BEC (or REG) - end of November. Another option: take in-class review course. You can talk to professors and ask any questions you miht have. These review classes are not that useful informationwise, but they definitely keep you on track and force you to study and take the exams at the allocated times.
