FE Mechanical exam requirements & cost

Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.

Eligibility
No work experience required — for engineering students/near-grads (EAC/ABET-accredited program)
Real exam cost
$225 exam fee (paid directly to NCEES)
Format
110 questions · 5 hrs 20 min exam time (6-hour appointment incl. tutorial/break)

Like FE Civil, the FE Mechanical exam requires no professional work experience — NCEES designed the FE exam for recent graduates and students close to finishing an undergraduate engineering degree from an EAC/ABET-accredited program, making it the entry-level step toward eventual PE licensure rather than a standalone practice credential. The exam fee is $225, payable directly to NCEES (separate from any state board fees, which don't apply until the later PE stage). The computer-based exam consists of 110 questions covering the full mechanical-engineering breadth — statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanical design, materials, and controls, among others — administered at NCEES-approved Pearson VUE test centers year-round. Total appointment time is 6 hours: an 8-minute tutorial, 5 hours and 20 minutes of actual exam time, and a scheduled 25-minute break. Examinees get one attempt per testing window and no more than three attempts in any 12-month period.

Common questions

No. Like every FE discipline exam, FE Mechanical has no work-experience requirement — NCEES designed it for recent graduates and students close to finishing an undergraduate engineering degree from an EAC/ABET-accredited program. Most candidates take it right around graduation, well before starting the 4-year experience clock toward PE licensure.
