Consultation on details related to the Registration of Chemical Engineers exam
Thread Content
Hello, fellow sailors. 1. On the first day, the exam focuses on basic knowledge; I heard that an exam handbook is distributed in the morning during the public foundation test, and it contains some basic data that can be referred to ； Is a manual provided for the professional foundation exam that afternoon as well? Also, do we really need to memorize all those formulas in physical chemistry, principles of chemical engineering, and so on? If a manual is sent, it should be included in it, right? (I can’t remember that many formulas, hehe.) Thank you, friends; if anyone knows the answer, please let me know. 2. Is the basic exam on the first day a closed-book test in the morning and afternoon as well? Isn’t it allowed to bring any materials?
1. Handbooks are also provided, but they contain only basic information; many formulas still need to be memorized by oneself. 2. All basic exams are closed-book, and no materials are allowed.
One sentence. The basic exams are all closed-book, and it is not allowed to bring any materials. I brought a few sheets of blank paper with me at that time, and they took them all.
The basic exam focuses on the most fundamental concepts; there are very few calculation problems, and there’s no need to memorize any formulas – electronic versions of them are available on manuals and forums, and they’re released in the morning and afternoon. If you pay close attention, you can find the answers to the questions in the manual as well (last year, there was a question each on general knowledge and specialized knowledge for which the answers were in the manual). For engineering mechanics (theoretical mechanics and material mechanics), it’s sufficient to familiarize yourself with the most basic concepts; there’s no need to master the calculations. You cannot bring anything for the basic exam; everything is provided at the examination site.
:) One thing I wanted to ask is, a calculator should be allowed, right?~
I can bring a basic calculator without any editing functions; that’s what the exam requirements state, and I’m not sure what kind of “editing functions” are being referred to. Hehe.
With so many formulas in professional fundamentals, they still need to be memorized, right? For example, there are many formulas in physical chemistry and principles of chemical engineering; they won’t be in the manual that will be distributed this afternoon, right? Is the morning manual the same as the afternoon manual? Thank you.
There’s no need to memorize the formulas related to the basic concepts. I was also worried that I would have to memorize them for last year’s exam, but in reality, there were very few questions in the exam that required the use of those formulas, so they can be ignored. The handouts distributed in the morning and afternoon are the same; they’re available on the forum. If you need them, I can send them to you. You’re allowed to bring a calculator – a scientific calculator will do.
Thank you. The calculator with editing functions is the kind that has a storage capability, right? There are calculators that can store a large amount of data.
