Exam Information
The Alabama Board offers the
following National exams:
Fundamentals of Engineering (FE or
EIT)
Principles and Practice of
Engineering (PE)
Fundamentals of Land Surveying
(FLS)
Principles and Practice of Land
Surveying (PLS)
We also offer our State specific
Alabama History and Law of Surveying exam (ALLS)
While each state has its own
statutes regulating engineering and land surveying, generally a
passing grade of 70 on the national recognized examination in one
state will be accepted in other states as fulfillment of their
requirements for examination.
The national exams are given twice
a year. The exam dates can be found under dates and deadlines on
the web site.
Exam attempts
An exam candidate, if approved
to take the exam, is approved for 4 exam attempts within a 5 year
period. Your 5 years starts when your application is approved
by the Board to sit for the exam.
In the event the applicant fails to
pass after the four attempts, the applicant will be notified the
application is closed. If your application has been closed, you
will be required to file another application and update your
experience since the first application. No additional verification,
references or transcripts will be required.
