Computer-based testing

In January 2014, the FE and FS exams transitioned to computer-based testing (CBT). The FE and FS exams are no longer administered via pencil-and-paper format. As a result, registration is now open year-round and examinees may select the exam time, date, and location that works best for them. Examinees receive their results 7–10 days after the exam.

NCEES committees are currently exploring the feasibility of transitioning more exams to CBT in the future. To learn more about CBT, use the following resources:
