Civil Engineering PE Exam
The NCEES PE Civil exam is a computer-based licensure exam for civil engineers. It consists of 80 questions across a chosen specialty area (Construction, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation, or Water Resources & Environmental). Examinees have 9 hours to complete the exam. The pass rate ranges from 49–65% depending on specialty. Effective April 2024, the standalone breadth section was eliminated — all questions are now specialty-depth focused.
