I am unsure of this, but if you can, it’s certainly not legal, and I highly recommend against seeking and/or using such material. This is a very serious offense towards the NCEES and further compromises the integrity of the exam. The NCEES Engineer in Training exam is copyright in full and no examinee is allowed to reproduce or disclose any information relating to a specific exam. This includes but is not limited to discussing any exam questions, answers, solutions, or other problems on the Internet, forums, or any other related means.

Can I review the reference handbook that is handed out by NCEES prior to the exam?
Absolutely, and it is extremely important that you do so. In college, we were able to produce a 1 page cheat sheet of common formulas and other related information to use during our exams. These cheat sheets were produced by us, thus, we were familiar with the format and the areas of needed information while taking the test. At times it made it easier, but other times it may have made things more difficult because we either jammed too much information on to the sheet, or did not organize it good enough. The Reference Handbook is no different then these cheat sheets. It is quite a bit larger, and for that reason, it is a must that it is purchased prior to ensure you are familiar from front to back where the certain information is stashed.
Head over to the NCEES website to get the reference handbook or visit the resources page for the direct link.
What Units are used on the Engineer in Training exam?
The EIT exam uses both SI (International System) and USCS (US Customary System) units for the problems. It is important to be competent both in recognizing and converting in to and out of each of the unit structures.
