Who We Are
FE Test Prep was built by a practicing engineer in Florida who is actively studying for the PE exam. After looking at the available prep options — $70/month subscriptions, $1,500+ courses, and outdated question banks — we decided to build something better: an affordable, exam-realistic practice tool that we’d actually want to use ourselves.
What We Offer
FE Test Prep provides practice exams and study tools for the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Professional Engineer (PE) exams. We currently cover 9 engineering disciplines:
- FE Exams: Electrical & Computer, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, and Environmental
- PE Exams: Civil Transportation, Civil Structural, Civil Water Resources & Environmental, and Electrical Power
Every question includes a detailed, step-by-step solution walkthrough with references to the NCEES Reference Handbook or relevant design standards — so you know exactly where to look during the real exam.
Our Approach
We believe the best way to prepare for an engineering exam is by solving problems — lots of them — under realistic conditions. That’s why we focus on:
- Exam-realistic format — timed simulations that match the Pearson VUE testing environment, including all four NCEES question types
- Detailed solutions — every problem has a complete walkthrough, not just an answer key
- Progress tracking — built-in analytics that show which topics need more work
- Offline access — study anywhere, even without internet, by installing the app on your phone or desktop
- One-time purchase — pay once, keep access forever. No subscriptions, no expiring licenses.
Why We Built This
Engineering exam prep shouldn’t cost more than the exam itself. We built FE Test Prep because we were frustrated with the options: expensive courses that lock you into subscriptions, practice banks with incorrect answers and no explanations, and study tools that haven’t been updated in years.
As a working engineer studying for the PE exam, we understand the time pressure, the budget constraints, and what it actually takes to feel prepared on exam day. Every feature in this app exists because we needed it ourselves.
Practice Exam Books
In addition to the web app, we publish practice exam books on Amazon for engineers who prefer studying on paper. Each book contains two full-length practice exams with detailed solutions. Available in Kindle and paperback for all 9 disciplines.
