Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Electrical and Computer - Practice Exam # 1: Full length practice exam containing 110 solved problems based on NCEES® FE CBT Specification Version 9.4

Five stars! These practice tests are worth every penny. I used two of them, taking each one twice, and the results speak for themselves—I passed! The real value comes from the diagnostics, which helped me pinpoint exactly what I needed to work on. Stop wondering if you're ready and get these tests. They are the most effective study tool I used.

This is a fantastic resource. I passed the FE – Electrical & Computer exam on my first attempt. The only purchased materials that I used to prepare for the exam were the official NCEES Practice Exam, and the three Practice Exams and Study Guide by Wasim Asghar. The approach taken by Mr. Asghar for these books was perfect for something like the FE Exam. There is no text, explanations, or fluff. What you get with these four books is about 730 problems in total, which sharpen the skills needed to excel on the FE Exam. In addition to the Asghar materials, I also sprung the $200 for the Lindeburg book, and I literally only opened it once. Lindeburg's approach is to teach all of the concepts and theories, but the FE exam is taken by engineers who have already learned this material. What we need is an extensive set of problems with good solutions to get re-acquainted with the material, and Wasim Asghar's books provide just that. I personally supplemented these books with a few good YouTube channels to fill in some gaps that I had (Raiya Energy Academy for Electrical & Computer concepts, Gregory Michaelson for Probability & Statistics and Engineering Economics). Add to that the incredible customer service provided by Mr. Asghar, and purchasing these books becomes a no-brainer. On multiple occasions I emailed Mr. Asghar with questions that I had on certain problems and he replied within a day with an explanation, and detailed, handwritten solutions. He even emailed me on the day of my exam to ask me how it went, and then followed up with me when I received my results, with suggestions on the next steps, getting registered with the board, and beginning preparation for the PE exam. All of that being said, please don’t think that the FE exam is going to be exactly like these problems. The problems on the actual exam are stated in a much more abstract way than they are on these books. The problems in Wasim’s materials are stated in a straightforward way, where you know exactly what the problem is asking. Think of these problems as drills, exercising the skills needed to execute on the actual exam. If you master these materials, you will have all of the tools needed to perform on the exam. On exam day, you will need to use your engineering judgment and critical thinking skills to interpret the problem statements, weed out the un-necessary information, and determine which “tool” in your toolbox you need to use for the problem. But, Wasim Asghar’s materials absolutely provide you with all of those tools.

I passed on the first try when I took the test on December 18/2021. Here is what I did : 1- I took the online course by Wasim 2- I bought Wasim's FE latest edition study guide. 3- I bought all the three practice exams by Wasim. For the first couple months, I watched the lectures in the online course in conjunction with solving the problems in the study guide. This will help you refresh the concepts and give you very good insight on what to expect on the exams. He really did a good job covering the exam material in the lecture and the study guide. After that, please purchase all the three practice exams and solve through them. Please make sure you understand the concepts in Wasim's practice exams and the study guide. DON'T memorize the problem. You can expect the same concept Wasim covered, and hence similar type of questions. As long as you understand the concept without memorizing the solution and the problem, you will be in good shape.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering back in June 2010. I attempted to pass the FE after graduation, but was unsuccessful. I did this for a few more times, three times to be exact, and again was unsuccessful. Two Saturdays ago, I took the FE and was finally successful. Fourth time is the charm for me. I purchased all three review books for the FE and I must admit that it helped me pass the FE, which I had been struggling with since 2010. Having a family and a full-time job can make studying cumbersome, but thanks to the study guides written by Wasim Asghar made it easier for me to study and pass my FE. I recommend you take advantage of his study guides especially for Electrical Engineers. I don’t have any regrets except for not purchasing his study guides sooner. Thank you Wasim and look forward to your PE study guide coming soon. Happy Holidays!! Arnaldo Negron

I recently graduated with an electrical engineering degree, so many of the topics I learned in my undergraduate classes were still fresh in my mind, but there are many topics in the FE exam that I had not studied for a few years. This practice exam almost perfectly recapped ALL the topics I learned throughout the last 4 years, and it made studying for the FE exam extremely easy. This book is one of the only resources I used for studying and I managed to pass the FE exam on the first attempt. I highly recommend this as a resource for passing the FE exam.

Bought the practice study guide, along with practice exam #1, to study for the FE. I thought it did a good job of helping me refresh material, especially since I forgot a good portion of it after graduating and working for 4 years. I only touched the practice exam once and it was the day before my exam. When I used it I did my best to create the environment I expected by timing myself and giving myself the allowed breaks. The practice exam gave me confidence, as I was able to answer the questions with 20-30 minutes of extra time to double check my answers in each section. These questions were all multiple choice, unlike the study guide. The study guide was very valuable in helping me get familiar with the NCEES Reference handbook. There are a few questions that don't seem to have equations in the reference handbook, just as in the study guide. Although, it's frustrating to have these problems, there were a few questions in the CBT that put me in the same predicament. I found this Practice Exam's questions to be easier than the study guide and much easier than those in the real exam. I didn't find myself with as much extra time to double check my answers and thoroughly understand the ones I didn't answer on the first go-around. Overall, the study guide and practice exam #1 were very helpful and I passed the exam on my first try, so these are resources I do recommend. And if you do come across some potential errors, the author of the book was very good at responding to the inquiries.

I loved this book. I used it along side the NCEES practice test. Also used ChatGPT to get refresher on subject if I couldn’t complete a problem on my own before going to solution. If you are taking this test my advice is contrary to what you hear most often and I passed on my first attempt. This could be coincidence but I would like to share. I did not kill myself trying to understand the subjects I was bad at in school because they are on this test. I would strongly recommend against this strategy of study. I looked at the questions that had the most problems on the test the NCEES book gives you a range how many problems. So I really leaned into my strong subjects in school with the largest # of questions and then worked my way from there. For me Computer and signals were my weak spots but circuits, power, electromagnetism and electronics were all my favorites/ where my career landed.

The problems in this book are WAY easier than the questions seen on the FE exam. I used this practice exam along with Wasim's review book and with the official NCEES practice exam and studied for three months and thought I was prepared enough to pass the FE exam. NOPE! The actual FE exam is ridiculously hard and nothing like the problems seen in this book or the NCEES practice exam. Made me look like a fool thinking I was fully prepared to take the FE exam. I walked out of the testing center feeling like I got hit by a freight train. Three months of reviewing three books down the drain. I felt like I didn't even study after getting beat up by the test. The test makers at NCEES are getting smart and reviewing all these books to make sure that they don't include anything similar to these third party study books so that they can make more money on us test takers and make us pay again to retake the test. For instance, for the psuedocode section, on the actual test they give you ridiculously long and difficult code to solve while on the practice exam, you get super simply code to solve. What a joke!
