NCEES lists the FE Other Disciplines exam as 110 questions with 5 hours 20 minutes of exam time inside a 6-hour appointment that also includes a tutorial and a scheduled break; the portal mock uses 110 questions and 320 minutes. The specifications effective July 2020 spread the questions over 14 knowledge areas: Mathematics 7.91 percent, Probability and Statistics 5.93, Chemistry 5.14, Instrumentation and Controls 3.95, Engineering Ethics and Societal Impacts 5.14, Safety, Health, and Environment 5.93, Engineering Economics 5.93, Statics 9.09, Dynamics 9.09, Strength of Materials 9.09, Materials 5.93, Fluid Mechanics 11.86, Basic Electrical Engineering 5.93 and Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer 9.08. The real exam includes alternative item types such as multiple correct options, drag and drop and fill in the blank, and gives you the NCEES FE Reference Handbook on screen; the portal uses four-option multiple choice and does not provide the handbook. NCEES does not publish a passing score or a predetermined pass percentage; it converts the number of correct answers to a scaled score that adjusts for form difficulty. The mock shows a percent score only as a rough self-check. The NCEES FE exam page lists a $225 exam fee payable directly to NCEES for U.S. registrations (some international registrations list $250); licensing boards may charge their own application fee, so confirm the current amounts. The content outline spreads questions across 14 areas; the largest are Fluid Mechanics (11.9%); Statics (9.1%); Dynamics (9.1%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. Requirements differ by licensing board; many boards let students in their final year of an accredited engineering program test, so confirm with your board and NCEES.
