I would proceed as follows:
1) Research methods - since it is used in all psyc areas, and in marketting as well
2) Gerentology (because it has a practice exam)
3) Psyc of A & A
EC - BSLS Finally done!
Went from 86 to 120 credits in six weeks thanks to IC and the forum.
Currently doing MBA pre-reqs.
Now BSLS + 9 credits

Alright, I'll stop procrastinating and jump in or I as well will not finish this 23 year old journey that is only held up by these last three courses.

Before I go is there any study material you would start with first or order that may be best?

The Kaplan GRE psych book worked for me. I used it for all of the psych courses.

The first thing I would do is round up a cheap set of textbooks from half.com. They often take a week or so to arrive.
Go to a bookstore and buy a few coffees while you read the GRE Kaplan section for your test.

I started with IC. What I do with IC is:
1) I only make one pass over the flashcards
2) With each question that I don't know, I paste the question and answer text into a notepad file. I read the questions and answers carefully while doing this.
3) I spend about an hour or so per day reading the notes that I took.
The notes are often 40 pages of dense text.

I have the Princeton GRE Psych book, do you that one would do as well?

I have that and Kaplan. I ended up using Kaplan, but the Princeton should be fine too. Read what you have, and peek at the other one at the bookstore.
