Happy to say I passed my P.Eng chemical exam on my first try. I've started 5 years ago in this field and been working in an operating company for a while now. For this PE chemical I actually prepared 5 months for it, and I used the following references:
-- PPI PE Chemical Learning Hub
-- NCEES PE Chemical Practice Exams from 2020 onwards

and that's it. I've just been doing the practice exams till I get close to perfect. I noticed that the actual test felt like the practice exams only and there are calculations and conceptual questions in the mix. Really important factor maybe is that I asked a lot of people in forums for tips, so if you want me to share more I'll be happy to.

Congrats on passing your exam! That's like hitting a grand slam on your first swing! Been around enough forums to know how much prep goes into that test so hats off to you. If you're sharing tips, would like to hear more about how you juggled those practice exams without losing your mind.

Sincerely,
Someone with a couple of neurons left.

Huge congratulations! It's seriously impressive to pass your P.Eng Chemical exam on your first go! I'm curious to know what's the best piece of advice you got from forums? I remember replying to someone in this forum who's concerned about landing a job with his Master's degree! It would really be nice if you can share insights!

Congrats! So, what are your next steps? What are your plans for the future? Are you staying at the current company you're working for?
