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

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.

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.

I heavily relied on this book and a two more from the same author, Wasim Asghar, for practice problems during my exam prep. These books are very good practice material of FE EE concepts, along with the online coursework by the same author. Wasim was also approachable personally to seek clarification of some concepts and actively incorporates feedback from students/users of his study material. These were very helpful to prepare for the lengthy exam format as well; it helps you train for the right mindset on the exam day. I would say that the actual exam questions seem more wordy and complex, but these material will help you strengthen you basic concepts and familiarize you with using the FE Ref. Handbook for the exam. Once you have the basic concepts cemented from practicing, the exam won’t feel as daunting. I highly recommend this book and similar ones by Wasim as practice exams or for individual practice problems.

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 just got my result today and passed. YAAYY. I have been out of school for more than 10 years. After these years, It was a little bit hard to sit behind my desk and start to read university`s books and notes. So, I decided to warm up myself with buying the NCEES FE Electrical and Computer Practice Exam and solving the problems just by using the NCEES reference book. For sure, That is not enough because this book has only 100 questions and really easier than the real exam. After that, I found other AMAZING sources in amazon regarding to continue my study. "Wasim Aghar`s Pracitice exam books #1,#2,#3. I do not want to talk about some typos or some solutions that are different from what you have in your mind. I want to say, with these books, You will absolutely learn to use your only reference in exam day, "NCEES REFERENCE BOOK". Make story short, I just read Wasim Aghar`s practice exam book for three times. I was asking my questions via email and Wasim was answering me in less than 10 hours. I know he is really busy. Please note, those were my resources and my manner to pass the exam. You can also use other Wasim`s materials like online courses or guide books and so on. I am looking for Wasim`s PE guide for my PE study. Thank you Wasim for helping me to get this result.

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.

Good selection of problems but solutions skip so many steps that it isn’t going to teach you how to do any of it. (If you skipped this many steps on homework, you probably wouldn’t get full credit) Good if you are reviewing before test, bad if you are trying to relearn a few years down the road.

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.

Do as many practice exams as you can! This will definitely help with exam preparation.

Definitely useful material to test your knowledge and ability before the exam. I used this book as a practice test by giving myself solid 5 hours time limit with only the reference manual handy. I had NCEES practice question booklet too, but I wanted extra practice so I purchased the this along with the # 2. Absolutely recommend it to whomever preparing for the FE Exam!
