Thoughts on the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam

It's over!! I passed the FE exam in a single attempt!!  

I’m officially an “Engineer-in-Training” now! 

In this article, I'm sharing my experience and thoughts on the FE exam. Read on to know more about the exam and some tips that helped me ace the exam. 

FE Exam Overview 

Before sharing my thoughts on the exam, let me give you an overview of the FE exam. 

The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is the first step on the path of getting your professional engineering licensure. Students in their senior year of college and recent graduates can take the FE exam.  

The FE is a 6-hour long computer-based test (CBT) and includes an 8-minute tutorial, a 25-minute break, and a short survey at the end of the exam. The exam has 110 multiple-choice questions, and you will have 5 hours 20 minutes to solve these questions. 

The FE exam is offered in seven disciplines, namely: 

• FE Chemical 
• FE Civil 
• FE Electrical and Computer 
• FE Environmental 
• FE Industrial and Systems 
• FE Mechanical 
• FE Other Disciplines 

You can opt for the FE Other Disciplines exam if you are undecided on which engineering discipline to focus your career on.  

Is the FE Exam Difficult? 

It is not too hard if you prepare thoroughly. I took the exam a year after graduation and felt that the questions were manageable. However, it is important to take the exam in your final year of college or soon after graduation. If many years have passed since your undergrad, you will be out of touch with the basic engineering concepts, and it will be much harder to pass the exam. 

How I passed the FE exam 

Here's how I passed the FE exam on my first attempt: 

Prep Time: I took the exam seriously and spent 3-months preparing for the exam. I have seen people claiming that they passed the exam after 3-4 days of prep. Don't fall for that. Form a solid study schedule and adhere to it. 

The NCEES FE Reference Handbook is the only reference material you can use during the exam. So, familiarize yourself with the FE Reference Handbook. You can purchase the hard copy or download the book in PDF format for free. 

Take a FE exam review course: I enrolled in School of PE's FE review course, and it was worth every penny. You can interact with their expert instructors and clarify your doubts. Overall, I had a good experience with School of PE.  

Practice makes perfect: Purchase NCEES practice exams as they are the closest thing to the actual exam. Take up practice tests and grade them to identify your areas of expertise and topics you need to spend more time reviewing. When the exam date was approaching, I spent a week taking up practice exams. 

Time is of the essence: On average, you have 2 minutes 54 seconds to solve each question. So, solve many practice problems to enhance your problem-solving skills and calculation speed.

Concluding Thoughts 

Obtaining a PE license is a tremendous achievement in an engineer's life. It can open up an array of high-paying employment opportunities. Take the first step towards getting your PE licensure by preparing for the FE exam. Take the FE exam seriously and enroll in a review course to improve your odds of passing the FE exam.
