How long is a piece of string? Everybody is different. We can't tell you how long you need to study or what you should start with, other than this: Pick the subject you are most interested in or know the most about first. Studying is easier when the material is interesting.
The search feature on this site (upper right corner) is a great place to start.

[SIZE="3"]Study Time: How I Did It…[/SIZE]
Pre-Study-Prep: Obtain or set up whatever materials I will need to study (IC Flashcards, REA Books, Standard Deviants Videos, Pass-Your-Class Guides, and Petersons Practice Exams.
Week One: Begin to read books, review flashcards, watch videos. Call your test center and make an appointment in advance as they sometimes require a few weeks advance notice).
Week Two: Re-read books, review flashcards, watch videos Take 1-2 practice exams* (REA, Petersons).
Week Three: Continue to review all materials, take additional/final practice exams. You should be passing these with room to spare. Take real exam at end of the week and PASS. In addition, you should have at this point already acquired pre-study-prep materials for your next exam so as not to waste time.[/COLOR]
* It should be noted that there are many (like me) who feel that the practice exams may be a bit more difficult and as such if you are able to "pass" a practice exam (with room to spare) you should do well when you sit the actual exam.
