I'm such an old man! I took and passed the FE in 2004 and obtained my PE license in 2009. Great video sir!

[@coachjamesfe]

you're getting younger by the day. Preciate that brotha

[@fitch099]

I remember taking the FE exam twice when it was open book. Then it switched to computer based and I passed. The main difference is I put in the work on the last attempt. Now I am taking my PE for the third time, 2 times open book failed, and now its computer based, but Ive been putting in 6 hours a day studying. Get a testmasters course and study study study. You are your own weakest link.

[@coachjamesfe]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Good luck on getting you PE!

Does EGBV accepts FE exam ?

hi James I Need To Take Fe civil exam and i cant get the pre exam book and hand book pleas send me website or the file

[@brittanymcpherson9974]

Question? So while taking the exam they do label them by difficulty and topic? For example, will it say Statics- Hard Difficulty

[@coachjamesfe]

No, sadly they do not but with practice you will know what topic is being covered and if you can solve it within I say a minute. But they do go in order of the manual. So for example they wont give you a engineering economics problem and then a structural engineering problem.

Hi Coach James! I am on my third year of Civil Engineering in Dominican Republic and Im interest on this particular exam, do you know if the FE exam is exclusive to US citizens or I can sign up to take the exam as a Dominican citizen?

[@stuckinthepast]

Unfortunately I did not see the Dominican Republic listed on the NCEES website. FE exam isn’t restricted to US citizens but it looks like DR does not have a national engineering society that is recognized by the US in order to take this test.

[@coachjamesfe]

It does not look like the NCEES has partnered with the Dominican Republic. I don't know why that is. You can take the test outside of the US by being in an approved Country which can be found here: ncees.org/licensure/international-professionals/

[@m4rr563]

Is this available for mechanical as well?

[@coachjamesfe]

Unfortunately not, I only create resources for Civil.

[@williamnichols9198]

Is it easier with it being a computer based examination with respect to ctrl+F to just find the equations you need out of the NCEES handbook? Or are you still given a hardcopy for the examination? Thanks for the insight!

[@coachjamesfe]

Yes William it is much easier. Everything is on the computer. You can search through the handbook and the topics are bookmarked so you can easily flip through to certain sections.

[@JorgeMunoz-t2n]

is the ncees practice exams the best things to study for the exam ?

[@natnaelberhanu-i8w]

I have a math degree with limited knowledge in engineering concepts. Does the study guide break down topics for those new to engineering so that taking the exam is doable?

[@coachjamesfe]

@@natnaelberhanu-i8w no it is specifically for civil engineers who have a background in the field.

Do we need to pay again if we are retaking the FE exam ? please let me know how to do reapplication for registration for new dates.

Yes you will need to register again through the ncees website. Once you pay and select a test location you can then see what times and dates that are available.

Hey Bro, thanks for the information, just a question, which books you would recommend studying for the FR Exam ? I can use different books or single book combining all the topics ?

I would recommend studying the fe reference manual that can be found on the ncees website. This is the only book that can be used on the exam. If you want to know exactly how to access this manual and good practice problems to use check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5StoWqtas1_h80

i wish if you can help me in this i graduated from Malaysia and i would like to know if i'm able to sit for the exam ?

[@coachjamesfe]

I looked into this and did not see anything in Malaysia for the FE but I did see that they are eligible for the PE. Before you can take the PE you have to take the FE though which is confusing. The main thing is that the University that you graduated from is EAC/ABET accredited and is for 4 years. I would check with the University that you graduated from in Malaysia to see which locations you can use to take the FE exam. Two links that may be helpful is the international requirements. You can find them here. ncees.org/licensure/international-professionals/ and link 2: ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Criteria-for-Evaluating-the-Admin-of-Exams-at-Non-US-Sites-August-2018.pdf

[@Gsyekd]

Bruh if you took the test and failed and are just finding out that they have a list of subjects covered you probably deserved to fail LOL.

[@coachjamesfe]

Yeah it took me 2 times to realize it😭 Better late than never.

[@chipofsalt]

It's not that simple. The material difficulty on the FE is not too bad. When I was in my senior year, there were people who didn't study at all and passed. If you're a senior or a recent grad who paid attention in class you'll probably do fine. Learning how to navigate the reference manual during the exam and practicing finding things in there for a sample exam is probably the most important thing to prepare for. I'd say a good 80% of the answers in the FE are in the reference manual in some form.

[@bigbusiness6067]

Do you have to graduate college to take these exams…. I’ve been in electrical & HVAC all my life…. I want to be facilities engineer

[@coachjamesfe]

For most you do. Typically you need a 4 year accredited degree. Only a few where I seen you can use work experience and be able to sit for the test. It varies from state to state though. I would go to the ncees website to see your state’s specific requirements
