Hello all,

I had a general question about how the FE and PE compare in terms of difficulty.

I have heard varying opinions on this subject. Some people say that the PE is much more difficult and in depth, whereas, others say that the FE is supposed to be a harder exam. Does the answer to this question depend on which discipline your exam is in? Also, is this comparison valid or is it like comparing Apples and Oranges?

I thought the FE was easy.

I am taking the PE for the second time in a couple weeks. I would say the problems are not much harder, but I struggle with doing them in 5 min.

That is just me and I am a slow reader and there is more reading on the PE exam.
