ECE Mock Test Strategy: Practice Exams for the 2-Day Board
The ECE board is a two-day exam of four subjects:
| Day | Time | Subject | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 AM–12 NN | Mathematics | 20% |
| 1 | 1–6 PM | Electronics Engineering | 30% |
| 2 | 8 AM–12 NN | General Engineering and Applied Sciences (GEAS) | 20% |
| 2 | 1–6 PM | Electronic Systems and Technologies (EST) | 30% |
You must score at least 70% in each subject (RA 9292, Sec. 16). If you pass a majority of subjects and score 60–69% in the rest, you get one removal exam in those subjects; failing it means failing the whole exam.
How many practice exams across 6 months
| Month | Full-length | Single-subject set |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 (diagnostic) | — |
| 2 | — | Mathematics, GEAS |
| 3 | 1 | Electronics Engineering |
| 4 | — | EST |
| 5 | 1 | Weakest subject |
| 6 | 1 (exam conditions) | — |
Scoring
Score each subject on its own against 70%. Don't average them: the ECE board doesn't. Any subject under 70% is your next focus.
Rehearsing
Follow the real timing: 4-hour morning papers and 5-hour afternoon papers. PRC doesn't publish item counts, so use timed sets from your reviewer and answer every item.
Where to get practice questions
PRC doesn't release past ECE papers. Use board reviewers with worked solutions or a review center's practice exams.
