Set exams — built from the simulator bank
Each paper is assembled automatically from the question bank: only material the class has covered by that point in the semester, drawn round-robin across chapters, with figure-based calculation problems selected first. The draw is seeded, so one paper number gives every student the same exam.
Weeks 1–7 only (through the midterm gate): loads & LRFD, materials, tension, compression, flexure and shear. All 25 items are figure-backed calculation problems drawn round-robin from those chapters. Locked until the Administrator opens the exam.
Comprehensive and harder than the midterm, with no repeated items: weighted to Ch. 4 tension, Ch. 5 compression, Ch. 21/22 RC materials & flexure, Ch. 23 RC shear and Ch. 26 RC columns, all figure-backed. Locked until the Administrator opens the exam.
FE-style breadth exam administered once in Week 12 — 20 figure-based problems pulled from the FE Exam Simulator bank, calculator required.
Structural FE Exam Simulator
20 calculation-focused questions on AISC Steel (Chapters 1–8) and ACI Concrete (all chapters). Drawn from a pool of 71 calc problems (24 steel · 43 concrete · 4 loads/general).
Bring your calculator — each item requires arithmetic on LRFD/ACI equations. Reshuffles every new attempt.
