COURSE Content

Other Disciplines Specification

The FE exam is a computer-based test (CBT). It is closed book with an electronic reference.

  • Examinees have 6 hours to complete the exam, which contains 110 multiple-choice questions. The 6-hour time also includes a tutorial, a break, and a brief survey at the conclusion.
  • The FE exam uses both the International System of Units (SI) and the US Customary System (USCS).
