I was going through some notes and found these PE / FE test scores from 10 years ago. It does seem that the pass rates have increased in recent years.

April 1997 FE exam statistics, as released by NCEES:

Of ALL FE examinees: 73% passed (of all first-time test-takers, 82% passed)

• General PM exam: 73% passed. Of first-timers, 79% passed
• Civil PM exam: 66% passed. Of first-timers, 80% passed
• Mechanical PM exam: 82% passed. Of first-timers, 88% passed
• Electrical PM exam: 73% passed. Of first-timers, 80% passed
• Chemical PM exam: 86% passed. Of first-timers, 88% passed
• Industrial PM exam: 71% passed. Of first-timers, 75% passed

The pass rates for the April 1997 PE exams are as follows:

• Chemical: 51% passed; first-timers 61%
• Civil: 66% passed; first-timers 75%
• Electrical: 40% passed; first-timers 52%
• Environmental: 55% passed; first-timers 59%
