    Just passed the new CBT FE exam

    Congratulations! This is great news indeed. What a great feeling, ha? Before I pass the exam last month, I felt like I was on the other side behind bars trapped inside a prison and every one else is free. It was a horrible feeling. Now, after 4 failures I finally nailed it and honeslty I didn't...

    This is most likely to be true, anburaj! Yeah, I don't think all testing centers a cross north American have 24" monitors, so they substitute it with 2 smaller ones in case they don't have the 24" monitors available. Good point.

    Well, me myself I like the idea of having 2 big monitors to work with. It just helped me from spending time zooming in and out in order to see the equations. But, it's good to know that some test centers have only 1 monitor so everyone will be prepared to deal with that Thanks you for sharing...

    Look, I'm not a computer expert, they could be size 17", 21' or 24"...Regardless, They were both big enough for me to work with just fine. I'm pretty sure I had 2 monitors inside that exam room and I think I was wake enough to know that there are 2 monitors in front of me not only 1. Now, I'm...

    You believe what you want "chief engineer"!! I'm telling based on my own experience at the Pearson Testing Centre when I took my CBT FE Exam (Other's Discipline)

    You will have 2 monitors in the exam room for you to use. One for the FE Exam questions on the right side and the second monitor on the left side for a pdf re-searchable copy of the Supplied Reference Manual(9th edition.

    Hey fellas, Wondering what is it like on the exam day and what procedures you will be going through? Let me give you an insight (based on my own experience): 1.You arrive to the testing center minimum 30min before exam time (My exam was at 8:00am so I got there around 7:40am) 2.You will be...

    Exactly! So it's better to use it and have a break to refresh and recharge your energy to get ready for the second part. Also note that you are responsible for paying attention to your 25 minutes break. No one will ask to come back on time and the exam time will continue as soon as the 25...

    Hello

    Just passed the new CBT FE exam

    Yes, but always remember to work smart not hard! Meaning that your job is to collect points as much as possible throughout getting correct answers for the easy problems on both sessions. What I mean is that, in my case for example I spent more time on the "AM" session, because I thought it...

    Just passed the new CBT FE exam

    That is a really good and simple plan. You definitely want to save extra minutes for second part as the questions get nasty. My first part was really good and when I took my 25 minutes break I was 100% sure that I will pass, but when I did the second part that it went down to 60% sure :( . I...

    I really hope you pass the exam. My understanding was that different states have different passing score (in the US), and in Canada different provincial associations have their own minimum passing percentage set by their own board of engineers. I'm not sure if the passing score itself changes...

    Okay great, so that's another way of how exam takers can manage their exam time. Based on what you are saying I'm guessing that different exam disciplines have different number of question before and after the break! That's really helpful for others to know how many problems they will encounter...

    That's exactly why I'm pointing out this matter! So exam takers can take extra cautions and make sure to practice more and more on time management skills so they will not to fall in the time trap and hopefully pass the exam on the first attempt. Thanks for your feedback.

    Stop watches are not allowed in the CBT FE exam!

    Firstly, the NCEES video is inaccurate! You don't get a break after 55 questions, but you are required to complete a 57 of the total 110 questions. Secondly, the fact that the computer clock turns yellow, this only happens at the last 5 minutes of the TOTAL exam time, when it's pretty much too...

    It's true that you "own" the time on both old paper or the CBT version and there is no way you can tell if the second part will be more difficult or not for you to make enough time for it. Ideally speaking, you should not exceed the time allocated on a problem, but this is generally not always...
