How can I study to pass?
Thread Content
It’s been a year since I graduated, and I have to take the exam for Certified Chemical Engineer next month. I haven’t really studied any professional knowledge since graduating. How should I start studying now in order to pass the exam?
Study carefully*, and do more exercises. If you have already learned a lot of professional knowledge, you’ll understand it once you review it!

It’s better to focus on recovering properly first; the fact that you ask this question shows that you lack confidence! If you don’t even understand yourself, how can you ask others! Hehe!
Me too, but I haven’t registered yet. I want to take the exam, but I don’t know how to register or when it will be held. I hope someone experienced can give me some advice. My professional knowledge seems quite poor; what should I do?
Principles of chemical engineering, thermodynamics, and reaction engineering are the most fundamental professional knowledge; one must not only understand them but also improve the speed at which calculations can be performed.
Focus mainly on the calculation problems related to distillation, absorption, heat exchangers, and fluid flow in chemical engineering principles; memorize the formulas, as there are many such questions in the exams in the afternoon. Also, be familiar with concepts like the lever rule in physical chemistry, as well as simple laws such as Raoult’s law and Henry’s law. There are quite a few of these. For the rest, just check the tutorials; if it doesn’t work, give up on the rest – it’s all multiple-choice questions anyway. Look into advanced calculus; give up on probability and linear algebra. That’s exactly what I did; I passed the foundation exam.
Review it carefully – it shouldn’t be too difficult! There’s still time!
You must be a good student at school! The Juhua exam requires a broad range of knowledge, with the focus being on identifying the key points that earn points. During the review phase, avoid distractions; focus on reviewing the key points and difficult concepts learned in school. In the middle and later stages, do plenty of practice exercises, and in the final stage, read books and work through past exam papers. The experience one gains through one’s own efforts is the most genuine experience. For reference!
It seems that there are also techniques needed for exams, in order to identify the points that count towards scoring
