The PE Exam is created and scored by the [[National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying]] (NCEES). NCEES is a national non-profit organization composed of engineering and surveying licensing boards representing all states and U.S. territories.<ref>[http://www.ncees.org/About_NCEES.php] About NCEES</ref><ref>[https://ncees.org/exams/calculator/ NCEES Calculator Policy]</ref>
==Exam format==
Exams are offered twice a year, once in April and once in October, and are discipline-specific.<ref>[http://www.ncees.org/Exams/Pages/Exam_schedule.php/] NCEES; Exam Schedule</ref> With the exception of the Structural exam, each exam is eight hours long, consisting of two 4-hour sessions administered in a single day with a lunch break. There are 40 multiple-choice questions per session. Several disciplines require a common morning breadth exam which broadly covers the discipline and then a more detailed afternoon depth exam where the test taker selects a more detailed area of the discipline. Other disciplines essentially have morning and afternoon breadth exams.<ref name=format>[http://www.ncees.org/Exams/PE_exam.php] Exam formats</ref>
