Question for FE Exam

Question for FE Exam

Question for FE Exam

(OP)
What calculator would everyone recommend for the FE exam?  I have a Texas Instruments TI-86 that I have used for years and feel comfortable with, but I am not sure a 'programmable' calculator is allowed.   Any thoughts?

RE: Question for FE Exam

They've recently changed the calculator policy: now only calculators on a <b>very</b> short "authorized" list are allowed.  (see http://www.ncees.org/exams/calculators/)

Hewlett Packard – HP 33s
Hewlett Packard – HP 9s
Casio – FX 115 MS and FX 115 MS Plus
Texas Instruments – TI 30X IIS and TI 30X IIB
Texas Instruments – TI 36X Solar

If it's not on the list, they'll take it away from you.

cheers,

rad

RE: Question for FE Exam

radAes,

Thanks for your info., I keep taking the FE and failed 2 times already, this will be my 3rd time. But thanks for the calculator information. Do you know what link to apply online after you have the login/passwords provided. I don't see any link for online application. Thank you.

RE: Question for FE Exam

I was thinking you normally applied through your state engineering board- check there first.

RE: Question for FE Exam

RadAES, thank you for the HP information.

I have an older model, HP-41CX that just gave up the ghost.  The on/off switch shorted out and blew the main circut board, bummer.  I have since being using a backup, HP-15c.

Talk about a dinosaur, aye?
