    Well first, figure out your strong points... Are you very good in math or science or history, etc..? I didn't put it in exact order, but I grouped them together in similar categories, where some of the information overlap (more info retention). This should make studying much easier. Perhaps someone will fine tune my list...

    1.English Composition with Essay
    4.Analyzing & Interpreting Literature
    3.Humanities
    -----
    10.Natural Sciences
    11.Biology
    -----
    5.Macroeconomics
    6.Microeconomics
    14.Principles of Accounting
    15.Principles of Marketing
    16.Principles of Finance
    20.Money & Banking
    22.Financial Institutions & Markets
    -----
    19.Principles of Management
    17.Business in Society
    18.Business Policy
    21.Advertising

    (these two can easily be combined into one category)

    26.Introduction to Business
    12.Introduction to Business Law
    2.Managerial Communications
    23.Human Resource Management
    27.Organizational Behavior
    -----
    24.Management Information Systems
    13.Information Systems and Computer Applications
    -----
    28.US History I
    29.US History II
    30.Western Civilizations II
    7.Social Sciences & History
    -----
    31.College Mathematics
    25.Business Math
    8.College Algebra & Trigonometry
    9.Principles of Statistics

    Easiest (depending on your stengths...)
    A few you should perhaps take first (just my opinion):

    1.English Composition with Essay
    4.Analyzing & Interpreting Literature
    19.Principles of Management
    26.Introduction to Business
    2.Managerial Communications
    30.Western Civilizations II
    28.US History I
    29.US History II
    3.Humanities
    7.Social Sciences & History
    12.Introduction to Business Law
    27.Organizational Behavior

    The rest below, well I'm not sure which order is best:

    10.Natural Sciences
    11.Biology
    14.Principles of Accounting
    15.Principles of Marketing
    16.Principles of Finance
    23.Human Resource Management
    17.Business in Society
    5.Macroeconomics
    6.Microeconomics
    18.Business Policy
    21.Advertising
    24.Management Information Systems
    13.Information Systems and Computer Applications
    31.College Mathematics
    25.Business Math
    8.College Algebra & Trigonometry
    9.Principles of Statistics
    22.Financial Institutions & Markets
    20.Money & Banking

    I completely reordered the tests and tried to maximize the test groupings. I went with A&I first because it seems to be the best test to get your feet wet on!

    2.US History I
    3.US History II
    4.Western Civilizations II
    5.Macroeconomics
