A Chemical Engineering (ChE) board exam review, for the Chemical Engineers Licensure Examination, costs about ₱10,920 to ₱18,000 for a regular review, and ₱6,720 to ₱7,499 for a short refresher, based on the two ChE review centers that publish prices. This post compares them for the May 2027 exam, as of November 2026.
After reading this, you can pick between a full review, a refresher, or a bundle, and know what each costs.
Every price below is from the review center's own website, checked on November 9, 2026. I only found two ChE review centers that post their prices. Others may be just as good, but you'll need to ask them for a quote.
Fees change every cycle, so confirm before paying.
| Provider | Program | Published price | Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manila Review Institute (MRI) | Regular review, online | ₱10,920 cash (₱12,880 installment) | Starts Dec 7, 2026, Mon/Wed/Fri, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM |
| Manila Review Institute (MRI) | Regular review, online | ₱10,920 | Starts Jan 18, 2027, Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM |
| Manila Review Institute (MRI) | Refresher, online | ₱6,720 | Starts Apr 12, 2027, Mon to Sat, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM |
| Auxesis Review Center (ARC) | Regular review | ₱18,000 (₱18,499 in another part of the page) | Not dated on the page |
| Auxesis Review Center (ARC) | Refresher | ₱7,499 | Not dated on the page |
| Auxesis Review Center (ARC) | Review + refresher + coaching | ₱22,999 | Not dated on the page |
MRI's review courses page lists its programs for the May 2027 ChE exam, all online:
MRI also shows an enrollment option for DOST scholars and Latin honor graduates, but it doesn't list that price.
Auxesis says its reviews are now online and in-person. Its homepage lists:
The page doesn't say which exam cycle these prices are for. Confirm that they apply to May 2027.
A regular review reteaches the subjects over 4 to 5 months. A refresher is a short, intense pass in the last weeks, mostly problems and past-exam-style questions.
I'd pick the refresher only if you're already strong in most of the three subjects. Chemical Engineering Principles alone is 40% of your rating, with 75 long problems in 9 hours. A refresher won't rebuild that from scratch. The topics are in ChE board exam coverage.
No law requires one for the ChE exam, and the law has no refresher rule for repeaters. The ChE passing rate was 77.6% in May 2026 (board exam passing rates). I weigh both sides in can you pass the ChE board exam with self-review?.
On published prices, MRI's online regular review at ₱10,920 is the cheaper full review, and its ₱6,720 refresher is the cheapest option overall. Auxesis costs more but offers in-person classes and a bundle. Whichever you choose, ask which exam date the price is for.
Published regular reviews cost ₱10,920 at Manila Review Institute and ₱18,000 at Auxesis. Refreshers cost ₱6,720 and ₱7,499.
MRI's regular review starts December 7, 2026 or January 18, 2027. Its refresher starts April 12, 2027.
Only if you're already strong in most subjects. It's a short final pass, not a full reteach.
