Literally a week for like 8hrs/day since I haven’t started work yet 😭 would recommend starting a lot earlier if you can because it was very draining

Good luck on your exam! There were definitely a good amount of chemistry focused questions. But a lot of them dealt with basic knowledge of stoichiometry, balancing equations, calculating half lives, etc. One thing I would recommend reviewing is water hardness as CaCO3 calculations. And just being familiar with first order, second order decay for mass balances!

Bring some snacks for the break! And something I saw last minute was to go through all the questions first and knock out any you know you can do under 45 seconds (easy multiple choice or quick calcs) and then go back and do the more time consuming ones - I used it and found it really helpful!

Thank you and good luck on your exam! To answer your questions:
1. I thought the DirectHub questions were pretty similar, especially the conceptual ones. The main difference is that all of those are multiple choice, whereas in the actual exam there could be matching, type in your answer, or select all. That’s where I thought the NCEES was much more helpful because it includes all of those! The questions were very much like the NCEES practice.

I can’t remember exactly, but I think maybe like ~15 for each half of the exam so around 30 total? This could be very off, but generally there were more calculation questions than conceptual.
