FE Exam Prep App: Everything You Need to Pass for $25

Preparing for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is one of the most important steps in your engineering career. It’s also one of the most stressful. Between juggling coursework, work, and life, finding an affordable, effective study tool can feel impossible.

That’s why we built FE Test Prep — a focused, no-fluff practice exam app with 2,500+ questions covering four disciplines, available for a one-time $25 payment. No subscriptions. No hidden fees. No expiration dates.

Three Disciplines, One Platform

FE Test Prep currently supports four of the most popular FE exam disciplines:

• FE Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) — 1,287 questions across all 17 exam topics
• FE Civil Engineering — 912 questions covering all 16 Civil exam topics
• FE Mechanical Engineering — 837 questions spanning all 14 Mechanical exam topics
• FE Chemical Engineering — 847 questions covering all 14 Chemical exam topics

Every discipline includes a full set of shared Part 1 topics (Mathematics, Probability & Statistics, Ethics, and Engineering Economics) plus discipline-specific Part 2 content. Switch between disciplines anytime without losing your progress.

Realistic Exam Simulation

The real FE exam is 110 questions in 5 hours and 20 minutes, split into two halves. Our Full Exam Simulation mode replicates this exactly:

• 110 questions drawn from the full question bank, weighted by NCEES topic distribution
• 5:20 countdown timer with pacing indicators so you know if you’re on track
• Two-section structure — Section 1 (general topics) and Section 2 (discipline-specific)
• Question flagging — mark questions for review, just like the real Pearson VUE interface
• Question navigator — jump to any question, see answered/unanswered/flagged at a glance

After submitting, you get a full score report with topic-level breakdowns, time analysis, and every question reviewed with detailed walkthroughs.

Practice by Topic

Not ready for a full exam? Use Practice Mode to focus on specific topics. Select one topic or combine several, then work through questions at your own pace with instant feedback.

Every question includes a detailed walkthrough that explains not just the correct answer, but why each distractor is wrong. Many walkthroughs include step-by-step calculator instructions so you can replicate the solution on your NCEES-approved calculator.

Questions are tagged by difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard) so you can target your weak areas or build confidence with easier problems first.

Built-in Reference Handbook

The real FE exam gives you access to the NCEES FE Reference Handbook during the test. Our app includes a searchable reference panel with all the key formulas organized by topic, rendered with proper math notation.

Each discipline has its own complete reference — shared formulas (math, stats, economics) plus discipline-specific content. Use it during practice to get comfortable looking up formulas under time pressure, just like you’ll do on exam day.

Scientific Calculator

NCEES only allows specific calculator models on the FE exam. Our built-in scientific calculator supports the operations you’ll need most:

• Trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan and inverses)
• Logarithms (ln, log) and exponentials
• Permutations and combinations (nPr, nCr)
• Angle mode switching (DEG/RAD)
• Memory functions and parenthetical expressions

It’s designed for quick calculations during practice. For advanced features like equation solving, matrix operations, and statistical analysis, you should practice with your physical NCEES-approved calculator.

Unlimited Practice Mode

Run out of fresh questions? Unlimited Practice uses 60+ procedural question templates that generate brand-new problems with randomized parameters every time. Choose a topic or go mixed — there’s no question cap and no repeats.

A running counter tracks your session accuracy as you go. End anytime to see a full session summary.

Flashcards with Spaced Repetition

Our Flashcards mode uses a 3-box Leitner spaced repetition system to help you memorize formulas and build problem recognition skills:

• Formula Recall — auto-generated from the reference handbook. Front: formula name and “when to use it.” Back: the full formula with context.
• Problem Recognition — see a problem stem snippet, identify the type and method before flipping. Built from the full question bank with proper math rendering.
• Calculator Drills — practice keystroke sequences for common operations on NCEES-approved calculators (TI-36X Pro, Casio fx-115).

Cards move between New, Learning, and Known boxes based on your confidence ratings. The system prioritizes cards you’re struggling with while spacing out material you already know.

NCEES Diagnostic Import

Already taken a practice exam through NCEES? Import your diagnostic scores to seed your study plan from day one. Enter your topic-level scores (0–15 scale) and the app instantly builds a color-coded strength grid showing your strong, moderate, and weak areas.

Hit Practice Weak Areas to jump straight into questions from your lowest-scoring topics — no guessing about where to start.

Analytics Dashboard

The built-in Analytics Dashboard gives you a visual picture of your progress with SVG-rendered charts:

• Streak calendar — GitHub-style contribution grid showing your daily study consistency
• Daily goal ring — track progress toward your daily question goal
• Accuracy trend — 7-day and 30-day rolling accuracy chart
• Study time tracker — daily minutes spent studying
• Topic heatmap — color-coded accuracy breakdown across all topics
• Gap analysis — compares your performance against NCEES exam weights to highlight high-impact weak areas

Review Mode & Progress Tracking

Review Mode lets you browse the entire question bank — filter by topic, difficulty, or view all questions at once. It’s perfect for comprehensive review before exam day.

Every question includes a detailed walkthrough with the correct answer, why each distractor is wrong, and step-by-step calculator instructions where applicable.

You can export your progress as a JSON file to back it up or transfer between devices. Import it on any browser to pick up right where you left off.

Keyboard Shortcuts & Accessibility

Navigate the entire app without touching your mouse:

• A / B / C / D — select answer choices instantly
• Arrow keys — navigate between questions
• Space / Enter — flip flashcards
• Left / Right arrows — rate flashcards (Still Learning / Knew It)

Works Offline

FE Test Prep is a Progressive Web App (PWA). After your first visit, the entire app is cached on your device. Study on a plane, in a coffee shop with spotty WiFi, or anywhere else — no internet connection required.

On mobile, you can add it to your home screen for a native app-like experience. On desktop, it works in any modern browser.

Dark Mode

Late-night study sessions? Toggle dark mode for a comfortable, eye-friendly interface. All screens — questions, reference handbook, calculator, and dashboard — are fully themed.

How It Compares

Most FE exam prep tools charge $100–$400+ per year or lock you into subscriptions that expire before you’re ready. Here’s how FE Test Prep stacks up:
