Dear Eng-Tipers,

The references I took for to the exam make very little difference, because I hardly used them. I may have referred to them 2 or 3 times during the test. Most of the questions had all the information you needed stated in the problem.
Advice...during my practice exams, I would read all 10 problems available for the morning portion and rate them A, B or C. A's were for those problems I knew I could do in 30 minutes or so, B's were those that might take an hour, but I was pretty sure I could do them, C's I didn't want to touch, they took too long. Then I would do all 10 problems and time each one. During the checking stage not only would I check my answeres, I would check my preliminary rating. You will learn to evaluate the exam questions very quickly. When I took my actual test, I spent the first 15 minutes just reading the questions and rating them. I think I ended up with four A's, three B's and three C's. I used the same procedure for the afternoon, multiple choice section.
It worked, I made a 93 on the exam.
Good luck,
jwy

jwy, it sounds like the exam format for chemical has changed since you took it. It is currently 80 questions (40 morning/40 afternoon), all multiple choice. I used a similar strategy of rating the difficulty of questions, skipping ones I felt were more difficult, and then come back to them later if I had extra time.
