What is the format of the FE Exam?
The FE exam tests basic knowledge of engineering principles. Much of the information on the exam is covered in the first two years and a half years of an undergraduate engineering education. That is why you should ideally take the exam while you are in college when the information is fresh and you have good study habits. The exam consists of two four-hour sessions, one administered in the morning and one administered in the afternoon. The questions on the FE exam are grouped by subject and are multiple choice. The exam is in both conventional English and SI units. The morning session consists of 120 general knowledge questions and everyone takes the same exam. The breakdown of the subject matter for the morning exam is: 15% – Mathematics 10% – Engineering Mechanics (Statics & Dynamics) 9% – Electricity & Magnetism 9% – Chemistry 8% – Engineering Economics 7% – Thermodynamics 7% – Engineering & Probability 7% – Material Properties 7% – Strength of Materials 7% – Fluid Mechanics 7% – Com
