The Exam

Did you know that the Fire Protection P.E. Exam ranks as the 3rd most difficult exam to initially pass? Aside from the seven required references comprising ten volumes in over 6,000 pages, the exam spans topics that most fire protection engineers don't even work in regularly. If you're like me, you also probably don't want to study for three years either.


We built the PE Prep Guide to help you pass the exam. It has shown to propel those studying for the exam weeks (if not months) ahead in preparation. On the 2017 exam, 85% of our users said they used the formulas provided on at least half of the actual P.E. Exam problems. 


This Guide saves you time. How? By providing consolidated, well-organized, critical formulas and references to the important pages throughout all of the reference materials and thoroughly worked practice questions.


The 2020 Prep Guide

This Prep Guide contains:

   + Over 150 of the most important formulas for the exam with helpful references, assumptions and more

   + Specific page references to 2020 referenced materials for variables, formulas, and example problems 

   + Symbols list and unit conversion table

   + A full-length, 80 question, peer-reviewed sample PE exam with thoroughly worked solutions

  + 100 additional peer-reviewed practice questions

   + Our top exam-passing strategies based on interviews and surveys of test examinees from the last four years

   + References to the latest (5th) edition of the SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering

   + Common tables and charts for quick reference

  + Now in hardcover for easy viewing during the exam


This guide does not contain introductory and overview learning material which is already available within the required reference materials, but rather the shortcuts to preparing and testing with speed. 


Feedback Received

We sent a survey to every user for the 2017 and 2018 exams and every single respondent (62 in total) who used the PE Prep Guide said they would recommend the MeyerFire Prep Guide to a friend. Here’s what they said:


"The MeyerFire PE Prep Guide was my most used book in studying and during the exam."


"MeyerFire PE Prep Guide provides equations that are easy to locate and does a great job clearly laying out each input to the equation and where to find that value, if not already provided. In conjunction with the practice problems, absolutely worth the money."


​"I would and have recommend the Prep Guide. Having so many relevant equations in one area, grouped by topic saves so much time, which is vital on a test with such a tough time constraint. Just as valuable as the equations themselves is all the information that is listed like units or tables to find needed inputs. The equation sheet really puts to rest any fear of misusing or misapplying an equation. Also, having 100 practice problems and 80 additional problem is a fantastic part of the prep for this exam, which is known for not having a lot of resources available."


"From my experience the Meyer Fire guide is the best review material that I've used."


​"The consolidated equations in the Meyer book are SO helpful. It was also so helpful to have references to the handbooks for each topic/equation. Meyer was my starting point for nearly every question on the exam."


In 2017, nearly half of all examinees brought the 2017 MeyerFire Prep Guide into the Fire Protection PE Exam.

In 2018, over two-thirds of all examinees used the 2018 Prep Guide during the PE Exam.

In 2019, over three-quarters of all examinees used the 2019 Prep Guide during the PE Exam.
