FE practice test

Here are 20 free FE-style questions with worked answers, in the style of the FE Other Disciplines exam: math, statics, dynamics, strength of materials, fluids, thermodynamics, electricity, engineering economics and ethics. Most of these topics show up in other FE disciplines too. The real FE has 110 questions. We use 70% as a practice target, so 14 right is a pass here. NCEES doesn’t publish its passing score.
