Yes. Your license key works on any device with a web browser. Sign in with your email to sync your progress, scores, and study history across all your devices automatically.

The app works fully offline after your first visit. Questions, solutions, the calculator, flashcards, and reference handbook are all cached locally. Your study progress syncs automatically the next time you connect to the internet.

The adaptive study planner creates a personalized, week-by-week study schedule based on your engineering experience level, the number of hours you can study each week, and your target exam date. As you practice, it adjusts the difficulty and focus areas based on your performance — spending more time on weak topics and less on areas you've already mastered.

All four question types that appear on the real NCEES exam:

• Multiple choice — select one correct answer from four options
• Multi-select — choose all correct answers from a list
• Fill-in-the-blank — enter a numerical answer
• Drag-and-drop — arrange or match items

Yes. FE Test Prep includes a built-in TI-36X Pro emulator — the same calculator approved by NCEES for FE and PE exams. You can practice with it during every study session so you're comfortable with it on exam day. The app also includes calculator drill flashcards to help you master key functions quickly.

Each discipline includes a searchable digital reference containing the formulas, constants, and tables relevant to your exam — similar to the reference material provided during the actual NCEES exam. You can search by keyword or browse by topic to find what you need while practicing.

Over 4,000 questions across all disciplines. Every question includes a detailed step-by-step solution explaining the approach, the formulas used, and references to the NCEES handbook. Questions are written to match the style, difficulty, and topic distribution of the real exam.

Yes. FE exam simulations follow the official NCEES format: 110 questions in 5 hours and 20 minutes. PE exam simulations use 80 questions in 8 hours. The testing interface is designed to mirror the Pearson VUE environment — including question navigation, flagging, a review screen, and a countdown timer — so the real exam feels familiar.

Our pass guarantee is simple: study thoroughly, prove your readiness, and if you still don't pass, we refund your purchase. Specifically, you need to complete the study plan and earn the Exam Ready badge, which requires hitting specific milestones — scores across multiple topics, completed practice exams, and consistent study activity. Then take your exam. If your NCEES score report shows a failing result, send it to us within 30 days for a full refund.

Full details are on the pass guarantee page.

Yes. We publish Kindle ebooks and paperback books on Amazon for all 9 disciplines — both full practice exams and topic-by-topic practice problem collections. They're a good supplement for offline study or if you prefer working through problems on paper.
