Finally, IDP is over.

650 hours later, and I finally submitted my IDP file to NCARB. I don't expect to get the Authorization back right away, but now I can get a jump on studying again. I will stick with Building Systems as my first test. I will first pore over the Ballast ARE Review Manual to the point of memorization, then I will work my way through Flash Cards to familiarize myself with all terms, and cap it off with practice tests galore. For personal reasons I will be devoting a half hour of each night to studying a foreign language. Maybe exercising the left brain will help me absorb my information, or I could learn at half the speed. Nonetheless, my revised goal is to take the tests sometime in late December, early January.
