Each student receives a Review Manual web book, Practice Problems web book, two practice exams, a quiz generator, diagnostic exams, flashcards, and a custom study schedule.
How long does each student have access to the FE Prep University platform and products?

The School of Engineering will serve as the administrator to distribute product keys to students. In the event of changes in plans (i.e. the student decides not to enroll in the prep course), please contact the school administrator ASAP so that it can be re-purposed for another student. If a license rmains unused beyond 6 months, the school retains the right to re-assign the product key code.
What products can the group administrator view student reports on?
Student activity reports are available for the Diagnostic Exams, Quiz Generator, and Practice Exams
