PE Environmental Vocabulary Game

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.

There are 4 games built on 20 PE Environmental terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.

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.

NCEES's July 2026 pass-rate table (January-June 2026 examinees) shows 73% for first-time takers and 54% for repeat takers. These rates are comparable to other PE exams. The pass rate reflects the exam's comprehensive coverage of environmental engineering topics. Candidates with strong experience in water/wastewater treatment, air quality, and remediation tend to perform better.

The 2026 exam specifications add Sustainability as its own topic (7-11 questions), covering resources conservation (energy and material conservation, renewable and nonrenewable resources, life-cycle analysis) and resilience (infrastructure vulnerability, climate impacts, redundancy, reliability). Water was reduced from 21-35 to 19-29 questions and Air from 14-22 to 13-20. The former Associated Engineering Principles area (5-9 questions) is gone; project management now appears as an example topic within the other areas.
