I passed the exam in first take. I just marked and skipped the hard questions and move on to answer the easy one. No need to memorize any formula as long as you know where to find and use the formulas from the reference pdf provided in the exam. The exam is easy but time is very limited for 110 questions. I review while working so I have to study only every Saturday and Sunday or solve 5 problems per day. Those who want to take FE exam believe that you will pass exam and it will happen!

Hello Anthony- I am happy to share that I passed the FE exam. I took the exam on Jan 28th and result came in today. Your advice of skipping tough/unsure Qs def helped a lot. I made almost 2-3 passes in each section. 1st pass, when I am 100% sure, 2nd pass, med difficulty questions and 3rd pass, time consuming Qs. Thanks so much for your help. Now getting ready for PE.

Thanks for sharing! are there any academic requirements needed before taking the exam?

[ehinspections]

Thank you for sharing! I just failed and what I found was that the exam room was too dark ; since I have bad eyes I was having a problem reading my writing of the problem solutions. I guess they are set-up mostly for computer testing without doing work on the side.

My son is a recent B.S.M.E. and just got hired at Leidos Energy group in Orlando as an Associate Power Distribution Engineer. He starts Monday. I have talked to him about taking his FE but in the months after graduating I think he has just pushed it off (probably hoping to just get hired without). So now that he has accomplished that, how important do you think it is that he take and pass the FE?

Finding it a bit hard to study for my Systems and Industrial FE Exam since I can’t find too many resources/videos on it! Any tips?

[XORGNMN]

I’m an industrial engineer BA. But I’m currently working as a distribution engineer. Is it possible to take the FE for Electrical & computers with industrial engineer discipline?

Will this exam help me land a mechaniacl engineering job easier? I graduated last year and I recently quit my first engineering related job which was mostly maintenance and I really would like to land a more technical job but im struggling to convey the experience needed more most design based jobs.

Hi
I want to know that is there any sectional cutoff for the Exam ?

[decapengdesign]

The question is should we take the PE early out of state ?? The 4 year wait is too long!

[djameleddineaissaoui]

Hello Anthony, can i take the FE mechanical exam in egypt.?

[BigRadius]

I'm hearing rumors that I need to "pass" every section. for the ME FE exam, can I get everything wrong in thermodynamics and still pass the exam if I get 65% total correct?

[mxrider]

Great video. Do you know ahead of time what the reference pdf will be that you can use for the fe exam? I see on the ncees website there is a PE reference handbook but I wasn’t sure if it was the same for the FE? Thanks!

I have a diploma degree in energy conversion engineering from Semarang State Polytechnic . How I can take the FE exam with my degree which is not accredited by ABET ?. Diploma is 3 years of college in Indonesia

Hi everyone. I don't know if someone would relate on my experience. But i took twice already and didn't pass. I immigrated in Canada 5 years ago. And it took me 5 years to get my Degree in Electrical engineering evaluated here in canada (for some personal reasons) . And luckily it is equal to bachelor degree in engineering here. The thing is back home we focus only on electrical itself and the board exam is much more about electrical too so i pass it in first take. Now im having a hard time how to actually pass the FE exam here knowing that it is combination of electrical and computer. I tried studying NCEEs exam materials and bought Asghar book but still i didn't manage to pass. Im hoping for any advices and tips for someone has the same situation like me. I really wanna pass this. Thank you all

[nadershayesteh]

Thank you so much for your response. That was useful.

[mitdayo]

So not all questions in the exam have same scoring system?
For example, does question 3 (simple math) awards less points than question 95 (complex thermal dynamics)?

Hey Anthony! I’m a lower level Technician with the NCDOT, my ultimate goal is to obtain my FE. However I have no prior college education. But I’m planning on beginning by taking the FEP, HEC, then if passed go for my FE. What are some pointers for someone like me to prep for this type of exam. I’ve heard that this class is no joke, and I want to be able to have the motivation/confidence to attempt it. Thanks!

[antwana]

Thank you a lot for the video, it really helped me start my thinking process, a couple of questions I have for you:
* How long you think I should plan on my preparation for my FE exam?
* Where is the best place that I can get some material from to study?
Thanks a lot for all your help and support
