$89/month gives you unlimited access to all 110 questions and every feature.
Launch the full-length timed exam with the NCEES handbook open beside every question.
Get your score, subject breakdown, and worked solutions. Repeat until you're ready.
Every design decision was made to match the NCEES CBT interface exactly. Generic prep courses teach content. CivilEdge Prep eliminates format anxiety — the #1 reason the FE Civil pass rate sits at just 62%.
110 NCEES-style questions across all 14 civil engineering subject areas with a 5 hr 20 min countdown — identical to the real CBT format.
Upload the free NCEES PDF and reference it side-by-side with every question — exactly as it appears on exam day. Search, zoom, scroll without leaving the exam.
Know immediately if you're right or wrong. Correct answers are revealed after each response with detailed, step-by-step worked solutions for all 110 questions.
After submission, see your performance broken down by all 14 NCEES subject areas so you know exactly where to focus your remaining study time.
Flag questions for review and filter by subject area during the exam — just like the real NCEES CBT interface. Keyboard shortcuts included.
Key questions include embedded SVG engineering diagrams — beam loadings, soil profiles, truss structures, and stress-strain curves rendered exactly as in the real exam.
Every question is built to match the current NCEES FE Civil exam specifications and references the 9th Edition NCEES Reference Handbook — the same resource available on exam day.
Most engineering firms reimburse FE exam prep costs. CivilEdge Prep qualifies as professional development. A single month of practice is less expensive than one failed exam attempt ($225).
Real screen recordings of the platform — the CBT interface, handbook viewer, and analytics dashboard you'll use to pass the FE Civil exam on your first attempt.
Watch the complete exam flow: split-screen handbook, 110 CBT-accurate questions across all 14 NCEES subject areas, 5h 20m countdown timer, and instant auto-graded results — exactly as you'll see on exam day.

I tried two other platforms before CivilEdge Prep. Nothing compares. Having the reference handbook open beside the questions the entire time is exactly how the real exam works. I stopped feeling anxious on exam day because I had already been there hundreds of times.
The worked solutions are what set this apart. Every single question has a detailed step-by-step breakdown — not just the answer. I learned the material better studying the explanations than I did in an entire semester of coursework.
I graduated four years ago and hadn't touched the material since. CivilEdge Prep got me back up to speed in 6 weeks. The subject-area analytics showed me exactly where I was weak — I focused on Geotechnical and Transportation and passed with a comfortable margin.
The $89/month is the best investment I have made in my engineering career. I passed on my first attempt, and my firm reimbursed the entire cost once I got my EIT certificate. The timer, the interface, the handbook viewer — it's all exactly right.
I was intimidated by Water Resources and Structural Engineering. After running through the exam three times and reviewing every wrong answer with the explanations, I scored above 80% in both categories on the real exam. CivilEdge Prep works.
The NCEES CBT places the Reference Handbook beside every question — always visible, always searchable. We replicate this exactly so your exam day feels like practice.
No tiers. No upsells. Every feature included from day one.
The FE Civil exam has a 62% pass rate. Ours is 93%. The difference is environment familiarity — and that's exactly what we build. Start today and walk into the Pearson VUE testing center having already been there hundreds of times.

Know where key equations are before exam day. The handbook is your only tool — navigating it fast is half the battle.
At 110 questions in 5:20, you have ~2.9 min each. Flag hard questions and return. Don't let one question consume 10 minutes.
Water Resources (12), Geotechnical (12), Structural (12), and Transportation (11) account for 47 of 110 questions. Excel here.
If you're stuck, plug answer choices into the formula. Eliminate obviously wrong magnitudes first using unit-check reasoning.
Mark any question that takes more than 3 minutes. Move on, keep momentum, and revisit flagged questions in the final hour.
Use CivilEdge Prep exactly as you'll use the real CBT — handbook always open on the left, full timer running, no interruptions.
