Questions people ask
Is this diagnostic the same length as the FE Civil exam?
No. The real exam is longer. This set has 40 questions in 2 hours, which works out to about 3 minutes per question, the same pace as exam day.
How are the 40 questions chosen?
They come from the free sample of the PassExams FE Civil bank and follow the NCEES weights for each knowledge area. Areas that carry more questions on the real exam get more questions here.
Does a score here predict whether I will pass?
No single set of 40 questions can. Use it to find the areas that need work, then take it again after a few weeks of practice and compare the two reports.
Do I need an account?
No. Your answers stay in this browser and nothing is uploaded. You can save the report as an image when you finish.
