  15. FE Exam Strategy FE Review

  16. General Notes • 4 hour General test in the Morning Session with 120 questions- Covers first 2.5 years of typical undergraduate engineering program- Everyone takes the same type of AM exam • 4 hour Choice test in the Afternoon Session with 60 questions • 6 Branch Exams and 1 General • Don’t change your mind at the last minute – TAKE THE EXAM YOU PREPARED FOR! • 1 hour lunch break – Fast Food or From Home • 3 versions of the exam, so don’t cheat • If you finish more than 15 min. early, you can leave, otherwise stick around and check your work

  17. Supplies • Calculator requirements are online at NCEES site and should have been in your registration booklet • You will get a new Handbook, so don’t bring yours • Do not bring your own pencil or eraser – yes, this means you will have a really cool mechanical pencil to take home at the end of the day as proof of your efforts!

  18. Tips • Get to know the layout of the reference handbook • Answer every question – use your engineering logic to narrow down multiple choice answers (work backward if you need to) • “Harvest your points” – answer the easy ones for you first, then spend more time on the others • Go with your gut choice

  19. Exam Day • Get a good night’s sleep and eat breakfast! • Don’t forget your Admit ticket and photo ID – or your scientific calculator! • Where a watch if you are unsure of the location of clocks • Layered clothing to stay comfortable • Arrive early, but not too early • Don’t stress out – you either know it or you don’t at this point
