It is anticipated that within five years, the examination will be computerized so that the examinee may answer just enough questions to accumulate a passing score, and then stop. In this type of exam, questions will start out at a high level of difficulty and gradually become easier. Thus, if a person can accumulate enough points early on, it is probable s/he will be able to answer subsequent problems with ease. To continue would merely be an unnecessary exercise, since his/her competence would already have been demonstrated. In any case, the content (if not the style) of the examination will not be unlike that of today's exam.

As technology evolves, there will be a gradual and steady change in the electrical engineering disciplines covered in the exam.
