Below are the NCEES topics related to motors.  I did not see any DC motors. Also, I do not see single phase AC motors. Induction and synchronous machines are AC poly-phase  motors and generators. Correct? 

Does that mean DC motors as well as single phase AC motors are not included in the syllabus?   

III. Rotating Machines and Electric Power Devices 16
A. Induction and Synchronous Machines 8
1. Generator/motor applications
2. Equivalent circuits and characteristics
3. Motor starting
4. Electrical machine theory

 
I would say that both DC motors and single-phase motors are fair game. The specifications don't mention single or three-phase machines so in my opinion, you can't rule them out.
