ME vs General FE exam
ME vs General FE exam
(OP)
I am about a year out of school. Working as a energy efficiency engineer so a lot of the ME concepts are not used on my day to day. Would it be easier to study for the general FE exam or should I go for the ME version.

Overall though, I agree with the others that general is probably easier based on the fact that the topics are similar to the morning topics.
Good luck!

There is no morning and afternoon sessions in the FE exam - 6 hour duration with an optional scheduled break.

Not useful for the OP, but for anyone soon to be graduates - take the exam while you're still in school. End of Junior year is a good time. I, too, did not study (well, I did a little, but it turned out to not be relevant material) for the exam and passed.

I remember I hadn't yet had reinforced concrete design but ended up doing fine on the test, just plugging and chugging equations. My advice is to get a copy of reference book and understand where sections are
