I would say, on average (I took the Other Disciplines both paper and CBT) that they were about the same - but I think easier/faster to solve due to electronic FE reference and being able to find answers faster.

Anyone passed the CBT FE (or even paper version in the past year) that didn't have an undergrad degree in engineering? I am just wondering how much of an uphill climb I am really dealing with since I have a Political Science BA and a Master's in Civil Engineering. Any positive mojo would be...

Yes, I took both paper and the CBT - failed both. I would say in general, I liked the CBT version better. Just having the electronic (and searchable) version of the FE reference is a huge improvement. Plus, having a lot fewer questions (and thus shorter day) was nice because I didn't felt...

That is what I am saying, they don't even provide that information anymore. Very disappointing to not be able to know that information.

Yes, they did. I failed and the diagnostic report is NOT as good as before. They are now not telling you how many questions you got correct - its a scale between 0 and 15.

Just found out that NCEES is taking additional time to review the first few days/weeks of tests for the CBT process and first release will be January 22, 2014 of scores.

I took the Other Disciplines CBT EIT/FE exam last Saturday (Jan 4). It has been 7 days and still don't have the results yet (yes I realize they say 7-10 days). In general, I think it was a better experience than the paper based experience because its not as long (and exhausting). It was more...

As a start, do you think a standard College Physics class would get me started in re-studying for the April 2012 exam?

I am not offended at all at the critique. I pretty much knew that deep down. My personal situation is so unique that I was just hoping to be able to work around having to get the degree. I am in my mid-30s with an established family. Working full time is tough with kids to go to school (it...

My issue was that for most of those topics I had to guess because I ran out of time. If I actually had time to read those problems, I would have fared much better. A lot of my problem at least in the AM portion is that I ran out of time. I definitely admit that I am not as strong in Thermo...

FE Mike, While I would in other situations agree with you, my situation is probably a little unique. I am married with 3 young kids, only have a MS in Civil Engineering with no BS in Civl (other non-technical degree). I need to get the FE so that I can pursue other job opportunities as well...

Yes. I got a 122/240 (51%) and failed.

1. M: 58 2. A: 32 3. Other Discipline Percentage: 51% - Failed.
