Taking FE after 3 semesters liberal arts, 5 semesters engineering

Question

I transferred halfway through my sophomore year from a liberal arts college without an engineering program to a university with an ABET-accredited engineering program. Because enough of my credits transferred over (physics, calculus, etc.), I am still on track to graduate on time. As such, I will have only had five semesters in an ABET-accredited engineering curriculum when I get my degree this Spring.

In order to register for the exam, I must attest to the following:

“I have successfully completed six or more full-time semesters of a bachelor’s-level curriculum in Engineering or Engineering Technology that is accredited by ABET"

Does this mean that I cannot take the FE exam?

Or do the credits earned at my previous college count as part of the ABET-accredited curriculum because they transferred over (i.e., I am overthinking this)?
