Everything You Should Know About the PE Exam
The PE exam tests for competency within your selected engineering discipline. It is designed for engineers who have passed their FE exam and gained a minimum of four years of engineering experience. This exam is one of the last steps 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. A lot of states will have similar suggestions for someone seeking professional licensure—make sure you partner with a leading exam prep provider like School of PE to boost your chances of success.
Exam Fees
A fee of $375 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.?
Exam Specifications
These exams vary in time length and number of questions and are made up of both multiple-choice questions and alternative item types (AITs). On the day of the exam, you will be given a virtual version of the NCEES PE Reference Handbook for your selected discipline. 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 on the day of the FE exam.
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.
