I average 40 hour weeks, long term, except outages. I also make time to work on a Masters degree. That being said, it you want to work on quals and qualify, there's no such thing as a "sleep schedule," you pretty much don't get to sleep. If you flake out and think you can focus on school and not quals, requests for TA will be shot down, if that doesn't motivate you, then there's NJP and restriction. If you decide you'll catch up on sleep on watch, well, see the previous statement.

Now for the real insults, which I can't believe nobody mentioned. There's no Bachelor's of Engineering. It's either a Bachelors of Science (BS) or Bachelors of Arts (BA). Engineering is the specific program in the BS field. How can you even be thinking of college if you don't know that very basic thing?

Insults over, back on topic. CLEP tests are a good way to get some classes out of the way, but verify with the college you apply to how many they accept. Most engineering programs only take a few credits from the nuke pipeline (maybe 12 or 15, but probably single digits), and may not accept many from CLEP, but they would all be general education, leaving you to figure out how to get labs done for chemistry and physics.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
