The Fundamental of Engineering (FE) exam has 110 multiple-choice questions and takes a sum total of 6 hours to complete. The exam is in the form of a computer-based test (CBT). The exam is usually discipline-specific (mechanical, industrial and systems, environmental, electrical, civil, chemical, or other disciplines), depending on what you choose during your registration for the FE exam. A Nondisclosure agreement, a tutorial, a scheduled break, and a short survey are all included, along with the exam in the 6-hour time frame. The Nondisclosure agreement section takes about two minutes. This section contains the terms and conditions of the fundamentals of the engineering exam. This is followed by the tutorial section, which lasts for a duration of 8 minutes.
The FE exam follows immediately after and will take 5 hours and 20 minutes to complete. The problem-solving time for each question is somewhat less than 3 minutes, and you may work through the questions in any order (during that session) that you choose. You have the option of going back and double-checking your responses before submitting a session for grading. It is of high importance that you are as careful as possible as you will not be able to go back and revise a section once it has been submitted. So you must ensure that you're ready to submit before you do so. However, you have complete freedom in how you spend your time between the two sessions. For example, you could devote 3 hours to the first segment and up to two hours and 20 minutes to the second, or you could spend 4 hours on the first segment and one hour and 20 minutes on the second one.
You have a 25-minute break in between sessions. During this time, you might need to stretch your limbs, go to the bathroom or do anything else you think you could do during a break. You can take less time if you choose, but you can't work during the break, and the break time can't be added to the total time allotted for each session. You may leave your seat for personal reasons after each session begins, but the "clock" will not stop ticking. Unanswered questions are scored the same as wrongly answered ones. Thus, you should guess all unanswered questions in the final minutes of each session. This way, you'll most likely be able to complete the Fundamental of Engineering questions within the specified time.
