About the FE Chemical Exam
The NCEES FE Chemical exam is the discipline-specific Fundamentals of Engineering exam for chemical engineers pursuing Engineer Intern (EI/EIT) status and, ultimately, the PE Chemical license. The current July 2020 CBT specifications cover 17 knowledge areas spanning math, engineering sciences, materials science, chemistry and biology, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, material/energy balances, heat and mass transfer, solids handling, reaction engineering, economics, process design, process control, safety, and ethics. The exam is closed-book except for the on-screen NCEES FE Reference Handbook (v10.6, effective 2025).
Exam sponsor: NCEES (Pearson VUE). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the FE Chemical vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How does the FE Chemical vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 20 FE Chemical terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the FE Chemical terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the NCEES (Pearson VUE) content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the FE Chemical exam pass rate in 2026?
NCEES reports first-time pass rates around 68% for FE Chemical, making it one of the higher-passing FE disciplines. Repeat-taker pass rates are lower. Pass rates are scaled, not percentage-based, so NCEES does not publish a fixed cut score.
How long is the FE Chemical exam?
The exam itself is 5 hours and 20 minutes long, but the total Pearson VUE appointment is 6 hours. That includes an 8-minute tutorial, the testing window, and an optional 25-minute scheduled break that does not count against your test time.
