Definitely downloadand review the ~200 page FE Reference Handbook. It contains all the equations, tables, and unit conversations that are provided on the exam. The handbook also lists (by percentage) the topics that will be covered in the general morning session and each discipline-specific afternoon session. I had a general idea of where to find each equation, and this saved me a lot of time on the exam.

I purchased a FE Review Manual and the discipline-specific review manual for my major. I studied these for two weeks before the exam, averaging about 2 hours of studying a day. I tried to use the FE Reference Handbook to answer all the questions in the Review Manual, and I found that this helped me get familiarized with all the equations. The Review Handbook (especially the discipline specific handbook) more than adequately prepared me for the exam. The questions in the review manuals often required derivation and extensive algerba or calculus. The problems on the test were almost all "plug and chug."

I probably could have gotten away with just reviewing the Reference Handbook, but I'm easily overwhelmed by nerves and needed that extra "safety blanket" of review problems.

The FE review might not be a bad place to hit everything.

Download the NCEES Reference Manual from their website.

Buy the FE Review Manual

They also have a discipline specific review manual for chemical.

You're welcome. First, they won't ask anything that isn't in the manual. So, as long as you know where to find what you need for that particular question, you are good. However, it may be in a different form than what you are used to. Using the book that you have to study is the best way to do it. It is what I used and is a pretty good representation of what will be on the exam. I wouldn't waste time going through old textbooks unless you want to read a little background on whatever topic it is.

The chemical engineering portion was a lot harder than I expected but since it is multiple choice, you have a decent shot at flat out guessing the answers. This is the book that I used to prep for it. However, I wouldn't recommend it because the problems are far harder in this review than are actually on the exam.

The best way to prep for the chemical part of the test is just to brush up on the basics of chemical engineering. Know how to convert units, stoichiometry, calculating reynolds numbers and other dimensionless quantities, and key chemical engineering concepts. I would say, the most helpful thing you can do for yourself is to know what units things should be in. Example: acceleration should be m/s^2. This will help tremendously when you have no idea how to work a problem. You take the units you are given, the units the answer is given in, look up the formula and figure out how to make the units work out. This method could possibly score a lot of points without knowing exactly how to work something out.
