In the morning, all examinees answer the same 120 questions, each worth one point, covering the breadth of knowledge in engineering. Candidates identify the chosen subject area at the Examination. Each has 60 two-point questions, written to test the depth of knowledge in the selected subject area. The total number of possible points for the morning and afternoon session is 240. As of October 1993, the EIT examination is a closed-book examination.
Calculators are acceptable.
A reference handbook is sent to you upon submittal of your application. This handbook is to assist you in preparing for the examination. You are NOT allowed to bring this handbook with you to the examination. However, an unused copy of the handbook is furnished at the examination site and is collected at the conclusion of the examination.
