As a civil engineering student, what is the best time to take the F.E. exam?

I will be graduating in May I already took it last year and failed and of course I plan on taking it again. Do companies look for you to have already taken it before you graduate or is it acceptable to take it afterwards?

Many thanks. #feexam #fecivil ##civilengineering

Hi Jessica,
I recommend taking it one semester before your graduation when you have taken 95% of your classes and you have all the knowledge fresh in your head.

I've found it to be acceptable to take it afterwards, particularly if the job market is looking to hire new graduates. If you're interviewing for a job, I would recommend you tell the interviewer that you plan to take the FE soon.


In terms of new graduate resume value, internships are far superior to FE certification.
