Because of this, I would urge you not commit to a schedule until after you've completed your first test. You will have a better idea, then, of what kind of preparation works well for you and what sort of time line you can reasonably expect for exams of similar difficulty. (You can find past discussions of relative exam difficulty on IC.)
I'd then decide which approach is better for reaching my goals:
1) Take the test(s) you absolutely must pass, first, to allow yourself sufficient time to retake in six months if necessary.
2) Take the most easily replaceable test(s) first so you can move on to something else if you fail.
Good luck to you.

Specifically, the Arts & Sciences include subjects which are classified as
Humanities (e.g., art, philosophy, music, languages, literature,
religion), Social Sciences and History (e.g., sociology, psychology,
history, political science, economics), and Mathematics/Natural
Science(e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, college algebra)
I have selected Psychology depth in the exams I selected, but I notice some of my choices do not have instantcert preparation available, so I may need to readjust my choices if the ECE study and practice material is much more time consuming to go through than instancerts material.
What are good upper level substitutions for the two exams (ECE Organizational Behavior and ECE Religions of the World) I selected that don't have instant cert exams available?
How about Research Methods in Psychology and Drug and Alcohol abuse?
