Sample FE Electrical & Computer Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your FE Electrical & Computer exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Evaluate the limit lim_{x→0} (sin 3x) / (5x).
A.0
B.3/5
C.5/3
D.1
Explanation: Use lim_{u→0} sin(u)/u = 1. Rewrite sin(3x)/(5x) = (3/5) · sin(3x)/(3x). As x → 0, sin(3x)/(3x) → 1, so the limit is 3/5.
2What is the derivative d/dx [x² · ln(x)]?
A.2x · ln(x)
B.2x · (1/x)
C.2x · ln(x) + x
D.x
Explanation: Apply the product rule: d/dx[x² ln x] = 2x · ln(x) + x² · (1/x) = 2x · ln(x) + x.
3Evaluate ∫ from 0 to π/2 of sin(x) dx.
A.0
B.1
C.π/2
D.2
Explanation: ∫ sin(x) dx = -cos(x). Evaluating from 0 to π/2: -cos(π/2) - (-cos(0)) = 0 + 1 = 1.
4A complex number z = 3 + 4j. What is |z| and arg(z) (in degrees)?
A.|z| = 5, arg = 53.13°
B.|z| = 7, arg = 45°
C.|z| = 5, arg = 36.87°
D.|z| = 25, arg = 53.13°
Explanation: |z| = √(3² + 4²) = √25 = 5. arg(z) = arctan(4/3) ≈ 53.13°. The magnitude is the Pythagorean distance and the argument is the angle measured from the positive real axis.
5For the matrix A = [[2, 1], [1, 3]], what is det(A)?
A.3
B.5
C.6
D.7
Explanation: For a 2×2 matrix [[a, b], [c, d]], det = ad - bc. Here det = (2)(3) - (1)(1) = 6 - 1 = 5.
6Solve the differential equation dy/dx + 2y = 0 with y(0) = 5.
A.y = 5e^(2x)
B.y = 5e^(-2x)
C.y = 5 - 2x
D.y = 5 cos(2x)
Explanation: This is a first-order linear homogeneous ODE. The general solution is y = C·e^(-2x). Applying y(0) = 5 gives C = 5, so y = 5e^(-2x).
7What is the Laplace transform of f(t) = e^(-3t) · u(t)?
A.1/(s-3)
B.1/(s+3)
C.s/(s²+9)
D.3/(s²+9)
Explanation: L{e^(-at) u(t)} = 1/(s+a) for Re(s) > -a. Here a = 3, giving 1/(s+3). This is a standard table entry in the NCEES handbook.
8What is the dot product of vectors a = (1, 2, 3) and b = (4, -5, 6)?
A.10
B.12
C.32
D.0
Explanation: a · b = (1)(4) + (2)(-5) + (3)(6) = 4 - 10 + 18 = 12. The dot product sums element-wise products.
9Using Euler's identity, e^(jπ) = ?
A.1
B.-1
C.j
D.-j
Explanation: Euler's identity states e^(jθ) = cos θ + j sin θ. At θ = π: cos(π) + j sin(π) = -1 + 0j = -1.
10What is the gradient of f(x, y) = x² + 3xy + y²?
A.(2x + 3y, 3x + 2y)
B.(2x, 2y)
C.(x² + 3xy, 3xy + y²)
D.(3y, 3x)
Explanation: ∇f = (∂f/∂x, ∂f/∂y). ∂f/∂x = 2x + 3y; ∂f/∂y = 3x + 2y. Therefore ∇f = (2x + 3y, 3x + 2y).

About the FE Electrical & Computer Exam

The FE Electrical and Computer exam is one of seven NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering disciplines and is commonly an early examination step toward professional engineering licensure. The 110-question CBT is administered year-round at Pearson test centers. Passing does not automatically confer EI/EIT status or later PE eligibility; the licensing jurisdiction controls those steps.

FE Electrical & Computer Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master the on-screen NCEES FE Reference Handbook — know exactly where each formula lives before exam day
2Prioritize Mathematics and Circuit Analysis (11-17 each), then Power and Digital Systems (8-12 each), without skipping smaller ranges
3Practice with one currently approved calculator, including Casio fx-115/fx-991, HP 33s/35s, or TI-30X/TI-36X families
4Work AC steady-state problems with phasors and complex impedance until they feel mechanical
5Re-derive Thevenin/Norton equivalents and three-phase Y/Δ relationships from scratch — common conceptual traps
6Target ~3 minutes per question; flag tough items and return after a first pass
7Review NCEES Code of Ethics and Model Rules — ethics questions are gimmes worth 3-5 points
8Memorize key constants: ε₀, μ₀, η₀ = 377 Ω, V_T = 26 mV, c = 3×10⁸ m/s
9Build a one-page reference of standard transforms (Laplace, Fourier) with regions of convergence
10Take at least one full timed simulation using the NCEES official practice exam to calibrate pacing

How many questions are on the FE Electrical and Computer exam?

The exam has 110 multiple-choice and alternative-item-type questions with 5 hours 20 minutes of actual exam time. NCEES describes the full appointment as roughly six hours, including the NDA, tutorial, and scheduled break.

What is the FE Electrical and Computer exam fee?

NCEES charges $225 per attempt. A licensing jurisdiction may charge separate application, education-review, or processing fees. Registration begins through MyNCEES and the jurisdiction selector on the FE exam page.

What is the FE Electrical and Computer pass rate?

NCEES reported 69% in January 2026 for a specific cohort: first-time examinees from EAC/ABET-accredited programs who tested within 12 months of graduation. It is not a universal pass rate or an individual prediction.

What reference is provided during the FE EE/CE exam?

NCEES provides an on-screen searchable PDF of the FE Reference Handbook (current edition). No personal references are allowed. Candidates should download the free Handbook from ncees.org and study with it before exam day.

Which calculators are allowed?

For 2026, NCEES accepts all Casio fx-115 and fx-991 models, HP 33s and HP 35s, and all TI-30X and TI-36X models. An on-screen TI-30XS is also supplied; verify the live policy before testing.

How should I study for the FE Electrical and Computer exam?

NCEES does not prescribe a study-hour total. Start with a timed diagnostic, learn the current Reference Handbook and one approved calculator, then allocate review by the 17 official ranges and your documented error types.
