FE Exam Prep Pricing | Civil & Mechanical Plans

Q: Why is this so much cheaper than PPI2Pass or School of PE?

Two reasons. First, we don't run live classroom courses with overhead instructors and printed binders — the platform is software, and software scales. Second, we don't believe FE prep should cost as much as a college class. Same NCEES exam, lower price tag, and we add the AI tutor and Pass Guarantee that the legacy players don't.

Q: What does the Pass Guarantee actually cover?

If you complete the platform's recommended study plan and don't pass the FE on your first attempt, we extend your subscription free of charge until you pass . No fine print, no questions asked. Email support@pecivilclick.com with your NCEES result and we handle the rest within 24 hours.

Q: How does the 7-day free trial work?

Sign up with any plan and get full platform access for 7 days at no charge — every feature unlocked, no "lite" version. Cancel before the trial ends and you won't be billed. If you continue, your selected plan starts and you keep all your progress.

Q: What does failing the FE actually cost?

$225 to NCEES for the retake fee. Plus a 60-day mandatory waiting period before you can sit again. Plus the indirect cost: every month before you're EIT is a month before you can start the 4-year clock toward your PE license. Most candidates we talk to estimate the real cost at $1,000+ when you factor in delayed career moves.

Q: Is the platform the same across all 4 plans?

Nearly identical. Every plan includes the full platform: CBT simulator, AI tutor, your discipline's complete question bank (1,150+ for FE Civil or 1,500+ for FE Mechanical), analytics and flashcards. The Pass Guarantee is included with the 3-month and 6-month plans. Access windows: 1, 3 or 6 months.

Q: Which plan should I pick?

Most candidates pick the 6-Month plan — it has the best value-per-month ($20) and gives enough runway to study at a sustainable pace alongside school or work. Pick 1 month for last-minute review, 3 months if you're a full-time student going hard, or 12 months if you're juggling a full-time job and want zero pressure.

Q: Civil and Mechanical — same price?

Yes, same price — but different question banks. You pick your discipline at signup and get 1,150+ FE Civil questions or 1,500+ FE Mechanical questions, depending on which exam you're taking. Discipline-specific, not recycled.

Q: Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account settings in two clicks — no calls, no chat with a "retention specialist," no friction. Your access continues until the end of your current paid period. Zero cancellation fees.

Q: Do you offer refunds?

Yes. 7-day money-back on any paid plan — not satisfied, full refund, no questions. After 7 days, refunds are handled case-by-case, and the Pass Guarantee covers you regardless of whether you ever ask for one.

Q: Is payment secure?

Yes. All payments are processed by Stripe (the payment processor for Amazon, Shopify, and most of the modern web) with bank-grade encryption. We never see or store your full card details. Account data is encrypted at rest and never sold or shared with third parties.

Pick the window that fits your prep

Three plans. One platform. Choose the plan that fits your exam date. Zero gotchas.

Same CBT simulator, same AI tutor, same complete question bank for your discipline (1,150+ Civil or 1,500+ Mechanical), same complete platform on every plan. The Pass Guarantee comes with the 3- and 6-month plans. The only thing changing between tiers is how many weeks of access you get. Pick the window that matches your exam date.

Honest comparison

Less money. More platform. Real guarantee.

PPI2Pass and School of PE charge $400–$2,000 for FE prep. We charge $39.99–$119.99 — and ship the platform they don't have. Same NCEES exam, two very different price tags.
