TestMasters PE Chemical Exam Prep Course

What the PE Chemical exam covers

The PE Chemical exam is 80 questions with 8 hours of exam time inside a 9-hour appointment, offered year-round at Pearson VUE, and it is broad by design — it tests the whole of process engineering rather than one specialism:

• Mass and energy balances
• Thermodynamics and phase equilibria
• Fluid mechanics and heat transfer
• Mass transfer and separation processes
• Chemical reaction engineering
• Process design, economics and control
• Safety, health and environmental practice

Every PE exam except the 16-hour Structural exams is now computer-based at Pearson VUE. It is closed book: NCEES supplies an electronic reference handbook and the specified design standards on screen, and you bring nothing of your own. Results are typically available within 7 to 10 business days, reported as pass or fail. NCEES allows one attempt per testing window and no more than three in any 12-month period. See the PE exam FAQs for the full mechanics, and confirm your discipline’s current specifications at ncees.org.

What our PE Chemical course does for you

Pass, or take the next course free. Attend every class and workshop and the guarantee applies, which keeps the syllabus honest.

Breadth is the difficulty, so breadth is the plan. Most candidates are strong in the two or three areas they practice and rusty everywhere else. The review is sequenced to rebuild the rusty areas quickly rather than to re-teach what you already do at work.

Unit-consistency and shortcut methods are drilled, because on a broad exam the marks are lost to setup errors and slow arithmetic far more often than to conceptual gaps.

Handbook fluency under time pressure. Closed-book testing rewards the candidate who can find the right correlation or property chart on screen without breaking stride.

Licensed PEs from process industries teach the sessions, and the exam-day judgment they pass on is the kind that only comes from running real plants.

Take the classroom course, the online course, or a custom group course on site.

Master the PE Chemical exam, and licensure stops being the obstacle

Test Masters Educational Services has prepared engineers for licensure since 1991, and the only result we count is whether you pass. Bring the effort, and Test Masters will bring the structure, the materials and the licensed instructors that make you the master of this exam. Don’t compete against a Test Masters student. Be one.

NCEES publishes exam specifications and design standards six months before they take effect, and revises them periodically. We track those revisions, so the course you take is built to the specification your exam will actually be written to.
