FAQ
Everything you should know about the FE Exam
The FE exam was created to help gauge an individual’s minimum competency within their chosen field of engineering and is generally the first step towards a career in engineering. Passing the FE exam demonstrates that you have the foundational knowledge and skills required to continue your journey toward licensure.
Prerequisites
Before you are allowed to take the FE exam, you will need to meet several requirements specified by NCEES. Because states’ requirements all vary, we suggest checking with your state board.
Exam Fees
A fee of $225 will be due to NCEES before you can sit for the FE exam. Because every state may have different registration procedures, we suggest you check with your state’s licensing board in case there are separate applications or fees required to register. Additionally, please be aware that if you need to reschedule your exam or make changes to your registration, you may be responsible for a separate fee to Pearson VUE.
Exam Day
FE exams include 110 questions and are made up of both multiple-choice questions and alternative item types (AITs). The total appointment time for the FE exam is 6 hours, however, the actual time you have to complete the exam is 5 hours and 20 minutes. NCEES will provide an electronic reference handbook. For all FE exams, you will have access to the FE Reference Handbook. You will also have access to a digital calculator and onscreen whiteboard. A free copy of this handbook is available for download through your MyNCEES account. You can also download the free NCEES Examinee Guide to learn more about what to expect.
After the Exam
CBT exam results are typically available 7 to 10 days after you take the FE exam. NCEES will send you an email with instructions on how to view and understand your exam review results through your NCEES account. If you are curious to learn more about this process, please click here.
