What these questions are, and are not
Every question is original, written to the published Saudi SCE exam format and topics and checked by a second examiner. None is a recalled or leaked exam question - anyone selling those is risking your exam. 90 questions in 3 hours, from SCE's FE General study guide. SCE does not publish an FE pass mark; 60% is our practice target, matching the PE part rule, not an official figure.

These are the exam's own numbers, not what this replaces — it is practice, and the authority still sets the paper. The free guide explains the exam itself in full.

SCE registration is mandatory; the exam depends on your case. The October 2024 guide requires the FE for graduates of non-accredited programmes who lack a home-country engineering accreditation, and the exams are needed for Associate and higher grades. On 28 December 2025 SCE made exams optional for pre-2025 graduates. Whether that covers expats newly registering in 2026 is not confirmed.
Not usually. SCE's FAQ and the law tie the iqama to valid SCE registration, not to passing an exam. You must keep the registration valid and update the Jawazat link every year, at SAR 100. The exam comes in if your programme is not accredited and you are registering as Engineer, or when you apply for a grade.
According to the 2014 study guide and SCE's FAQ, two sessions of 3 hours each: 90 multiple-choice questions in General Engineering, then 50 in your discipline. You must pass both. It is in English, with no negative marking, and reference sheets are provided. A 2022 notice says it is computer-based at Qiyas centres. Prometric's arrival may have changed this.
60% in each part, according to the PE Common Part Study Guide of May 2019. Each part is marked out of 100, with multiple-choice questions worth 60% and essays 40%. Fail one part and you must pass it within one year; fail both and you wait a full year. No pass mark is published for the SCE FE.
The PE through Qiyas costs SAR 2,000: SAR 1,000 to SCE plus SAR 500 for each part. SCE's FAQ gives the FE as SAR 400 for each part, but that answer is undated. The NCEES FE costs SAR 1,500 to SCE plus USD 250 to NCEES. No fee is published for the Prometric version. Every retake is paid again.
