Re: the written tests:

Prepare for these however you've prepared for written tests before--they're not a big deal. I like Gleim's software test prep., but do whatever works for you.

You'll need to take the Fundamentals of Instruction (FOI) test, which has a bank of about 200 questions, and the Flight Instructor Airplane test--which is very similar to the commercial written. I would recommend also scheduling the Advanced Ground Instructor test, as it's identical to the Flight Instructor Airplane test, plus ten questions.

As for the multi-engine, that totally depends on your situation. If you're looking to the airlines, it can be good to get it sooner rather than later but, on the other hand, unless you get your Multi-Engine Instructor rating and have access to multi-engine students, it can be tough to build ME time.
