When and where do I take the FE exam?
The best time to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is while you are enrolled in college, typically the last semester of your final year. Taking the FE exam while you're still in school or just finishing
up gives you flexibility. You're most prepared and in test-taking mode while you're in your final year of the engineering program. If you decide later that you want professional licensure, you will have to take the FE exam first. Passing the FE exam also demonstrates to a potential employer that you are committed to your career and that you've achieved a specific level of competency in your undergraduate training.
Nearly 75% of the people who take the FE exam pass it the first time. Evidence shows that pass rates decrease the longer someone waits to sit for the exam.

How do I sign up?
The exam is offered in October and April each year. It's best to contact the licensing board in the state where your college or university is located to find out details about exam registration. Most boards evaluate education and experience as a prerequisite to an applicant's acceptance to take the FE exam, and may have requirements about when in your academic training you can take the FE exam. These requirements vary from state to state, so it is recommended that you contact the appropriate licensing board for information about their requirements.
Where do I take the exam?
You will most likely take the FE exam in the state in which your college or university is located since
the exams are scheduled for October and April. Contact the state licensing board for more information. You do not have to take the FE exam in the state in which you want to work. However, you do have to apply for P.E. licensure in the state in which you want to work.
