In a calendar year, how many times is the ChE Licensure Examination officially given?

• A. Once
• B. Three times
• C. Twice
• D. Upon the discretion of the PRC

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how often a professional licensure exam is held in a given year. For chemical engineering licensure in the Philippines, the exam is scheduled and administered twice each calendar year. This fixed cadence is set by the regulatory body to manage candidate throughput and the logistical process of creating, administering, and grading the exam, while still giving applicants enough time to prepare between sessions. It isn’t a single session, it isn’t three sessions, and it isn’t left to whim; the official schedule provides two exam administrations per year.
