A free NCEES-style PE practice exam you can take right now, plus full-length Civil PE practice exams for each PE Civil discipline.
Ten NCEES-style PE exam sample questions in the same CBT interface as our full-length exams. Upload your own NCEES PE Civil Reference Handbook and it opens beside the questions — exactly like exam day. Every question is tagged with the discipline exam it appears on.
Use the free sample as a quick PE practice test, or train like it's exam day with a full-length simulation — the same NCEES practice exam format, question types, and time limits you'll face at the testing center.
Each set is included with its matching PEwise course. Every exam bundles the NCEES-listed design standards for its discipline in the reference panel — the same document list you get on the real exam. Only take the exams for your discipline.
In-exam references: Handbook + NCEES-listed design standards, including FHWA GEC manuals, NAVFAC DM-7.02, USACE EM 1110-2-1902, UFC 3-220, and OSHA 29 CFR 1926

NCEES holds the copyright to the PE Civil Reference Handbook. We can't distribute it, but our simulator accepts your own copy and opens it in a side panel exactly as it appears on exam day.
Each question is tagged with the discipline exams it appears on — Geotechnical, Water Resources & Environmental, or Construction — so you always know which exam the question is relevant to.
The full-length exams include the NCEES PE Civil Reference Handbook workflow plus the design standards NCEES lists for that discipline — including the FHWA manuals, NAVFAC, USACE, UFC, and OSHA 29 CFR 1926 for Geotechnical; the Ten States Standards for Water Resources & Environmental; and AISC 360/303, MUTCD Part 6, and OSHA for Construction — all searchable in the side panel, like the real exam. The free sample includes only the handbook, which you upload yourself.
Six full-length exams: three for Geotechnical, two for Water Resources & Environmental, and one for Construction. Each set is paired with its matching PEwise course.
They mirror the real exam closely — same CBT interface, same question formats, same time limits, and the same reference handbook workflow.
Use the free 10-question sample early to benchmark your baseline. Then work through your discipline's practice problems and exams after completing each topic. Reserve one full timed practice test for the final two weeks as a dress rehearsal.
