Everything you should know about the PE Exam
The PE exam tests for minimum competency within your
selected engineering discipline. This exam is one of the last steps to take
before earning your professional engineering license.
Prerequisites
Before you are allowed to take the PE 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 $400 will be due to NCEES before you can sit for the PE 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
These exams vary in time length and number of questions and
are made up of both multiple-choice questions and alternative item types
(AITs). NCEES will provide an electronic reference handbook and all specified
design standards during the exam. 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 PE 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.
