Everything you need to know about the FE exam scoring system — how NCEES calculates your score, what the passing standard means, how many questions you need to get right, and what to do if you fail.
This surprises most candidates: there is no set number of questions you must answer correctly to pass the FE exam. NCEES uses a process called scaled scoring, which adjusts for slight variations in exam difficulty between administrations.
