Before you start

  • Most questions are multiple choice with four options. Some are the exam’s alternative item types: select all that apply, or fill in a number. Every question is scored right or wrong with no partial credit, as NCEES scores it.
  • Keep your free copy of the NCEES FE Reference Handbook open, as on exam day, and use an NCEES-approved calculator.
  • Check each answer to see the worked solution before moving on. Checked answers cannot be changed.
