A new member here. I will be taking the Chem PE this April. Any tips or past NCEES practice exams? During the CBT what are you given to work out the problems? I am imagining that it would be some kind of dry erase booklet. Am I close?
 
Welcome.

They give you a marker and a non-erasable booklet. (They can erase it for reuse, but you can't.) If you fill it up you have to ask for another one. Check out the official video.
 
Hey thanks for the reply. This is helpful.

So no cheme's on these chats? I guess there are so few of us compared to other disciplines. ☹️
 
I passed the test when it was still pencil and paper, so I can't vouch for the CBT. But historically, the Lindeburg study material was harder than the test.
 
Yeah, I heard that a lot of other (non NCEES) materials are either easier or harder than the real test. I have been in O&G for over 20 yrs so I feel like I have a good background but have been out of school for that long, too. Recently I have moved to a different industry and working in EPC where one needs a PE to get credibility. It's the time away from family and other commitments are what's difficult for me.
 
I took the PE after being out of school for 14 years so I feel your pain. I knew that I needed a class to learn all the stuff that I haven't been doing. But I'm mechanical, so no idea what the ChemE class options are.

Don't know if you found it already, but there is a ChemE specific forum here.

I found out this week I passed the PE-Che exam! So relieved that's over. I guess the hard part starts now of getting licensed. Thanks for your input here.
