    Exam Details for the FE Civil Exam

    The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Civil exam is a computer-based test (CBT) which allows an electronic resource provided in the exam. The FE Civil exam includes 110 questions that use both the US Customary System (USCS) and the International System of Units (SI). For more exam information click below.

    FE Civil Exam FAQs

    The NCEES FE Exam is a 6-hour-long, computer-based exam given over two consecutive sessions separated by a break. There are 110 questions total, split evenly between the two sessions. Questions will be multiple choice or AITs (Alternative Item Types). Questions with the same exam-specified knowledge area may not be grouped together, but no knowledge area will span both sessions.  

    You will have to register to take the exam beforehand on the NCEES website at NCEES.org. NCEES partners with Pearson VUE to administer their exams at their test centers. You may have to travel a long distance away from where you live to arrive at the closest one to you. In that case, it is recommended you get a hotel nearby. It is also highly recommended that you visit the testing center before exam day to ensure that day goes smoothly.

    The exam includes a 2-minute nondisclosure agreement, an 8-minute tutorial, a 25-minute break between the two sessions, and a brief survey at the conclusion of the exam. You will have 5 hours and 20 minutes to actually answer the questions, working out to approximately 3 minutes per question. You may work through the problems in any sequence, and may return to questions within the same session. Once the session is submitted, you will not be able to return to those questions.

    PPI’s FE Learning Hub is designed to mimic the exam-day experience and prepare you for the computer-based test format, so we recommend utilizing that resource before your exam day.

    For more information about what to expect, see this article from our Resource Center.
    The FE Civil exam covers the following topics:

    Mathematics and Statistics
    Ethics and Professional Practice
    Engineering Economics
    Statics
    Dynamics
    Mechanics of Materials
    Materials
    Fluid Mechanics
    Surveying
    Water Resources and Environmental Engineering
    Structural Engineering
    Geotechnical Engineering
    Transportation Engineering
    Construction Engineering

    Each topic has a range for the number of questions it will have on the exam. Therefore, it is highly recommended to tailor your studies to the weight of each topic. PPI’s study plans in the PPI Learning Hub do this for you automatically. We schedule out your studies to spend more time on topics that are more heavily covered on the exam.

    When you click on a topic in the study plan that you wish to review within the PPI Learning Hub, you are brought to that chapter in the review manual and practice problems web book so that you can tailor your review easily to the topics you need more information or practice on. Additionally, in the quiz generator you can filter on which topics you want to receive questions about.

    For more information on specifications for the exams that went into effect July 1, 2020, please view this PDF on the NCEES website.
    The passing score varies, but we recommend aiming for at least 70% on exam day.

    Based on PPI’s experience as exam prep providers, we have found that students typically need to score about 50-60% correct on exam day in order to pass. However, we highly encourage students to aim for at least 70% correct to maintain a comfortable passing buffer. 

    All of PPI’s online products encourage you to aim for a 70% pass rate to keep you on track during your studies and best prepare you for exam day. We offer quizzes in which you can compare how you are doing against the 70% rate.

    The FE CBT exam is closed-book aside from the NCEES FE Reference Handbook which is provided to you on-screen during the exam. You cannot bring any outside resources into the exam. Because of this, it is imperative that you familiarize yourself with the NCEES handbook before exam day. 

    PPI’s Learning Hub allows you to upload your own copy of the NCEES Handbook PDF when you take quizzes and practice exams on the left of the screen to mimic what it will look like on exam day.

    The exam is made up of multiple choice questions, as well as AIT’s, or alternative item types. AIT’s can include but are not limited to: multiple correct, point and click, drag and drop, and fill in the blank.

    What Our Customers Say

    Austin

    "I had taken the exam twice before and was struggling to maintain consistent study habits amidst my busy work schedule, so I am very glad that I paid the money to take this course. It was well worth the expense and the time.” 


    Cate
    "I was glad to learn about your class. I found it was particularly good at keeping me on pace and moving through the subjects. When I learned that I passed the test, it was an incredible weight off. Thank you so much for all of your help!"
    Alexander
    "The course was very informative. The quiz bank, assessment, and final exam is a must. Do as many quiz bank questions as possible. Very helpful on the exam. The online questions are very similar to the actual FE test."
    C. Bishop
    "All of the materials were great and very helpful. Not only did the class cover topics that I had never learned in school, but the instructor did a great job going over the topics thoroughly, at a pace that I could understand them. I have already recommended the course to other people and will continue to do so."
    Daniel
    "This course will help anyone who needs a refresher and those who want to solidify their knowledge before taking the FE. Be sure to use your time wisely and study hard, and you will definitely pass."
    Jason
    "Without the course, I wouldn't have passed. I tried to study on my own, but I found myself being extremely unorganized and not focusing on one subject at a time. The course, along with the homework and practice exam, really focus your time on what you need to pass. If you've tried on your own to study or even if you're fresh out of school, this course will help tremendously. Now onto the PE!"
    Kyle
    "I took the FE once before getting this course package, and it made all the difference. With the help of the quiz bank and the online classes, it made my second test an absolute breeze. If you are motivated to pass and are willing to put in the work, I promise that you will do great! I HIGHLY recommend this product!"
    Vinaya
    "The FE Civil Review course is very well managed and very thorough. It covers all the information required for the exam and explains all the knowledge areas in detail to give a better understanding of the subject. The material provided was very helpful, and the instructor was awesome. It helped me to pass my exam on my first attempt. Thank you PPI!"
    FE Civil Customer
    “This course concentrates on the areas most asked on the FE exam. The course is well worth the money and very informative. It was a great refresher course, especially for me being out of school for 16 years."
    Lisa
    "The Quiz Bank is simple to use and allows you to pick the number of questions and subject areas you want to practice. This allows for practice problems every day, even if doing one question is all you have time for that day.”
    FE Civil Customer
    “I PASSED! I truly appreciate all the help that the instructor gave and would highly recommend this course to anyone who struggled as much as I did. When the time comes for my PE, I hope to take the class offered through PPI."
    Tyler
    "This class is very informative, and while it is fast-paced, you will learn a lot. The instructor makes sure to answer any of your questions and encourages everyone to participate and answer questions other students might have.”
    Mark
    "This course far exceeds the review my UC college provided for the FE exam. It covered a wide range of topics, and I felt nothing was really left out in the course. I feel more prepared to take my PE exam down the road after such an expansive review of all civil engineering topics."
    Ana
    "I have been out of school for a while, and I really needed a course that could help me review the topics for the exam. I would suggest anyone taking the FE exam to practice and review your homework prepared during this course. The instructor was very helpful in the discussion forum.”
