Study Tips for the LEED Green Associate and LEED AP Specialty Exam

There are many LEED study guides out there, so it can be difficult to choose which ones are the best for you. Also, please note that the USGBC will be coming out with their own study guides for each of the exams very soon (predicted to be sometime in October), so look out for those too.

LEED v3, which is still fairly new to most people, consists of two exams – The Green Associate Exam, and the LEED AP Specialty Exam. The new exams, especially the specialty exams, are said to be significantly harder than the previous version of the exam, so it’s very important that if you are looking to pass a LEED exam in the near future, that you begin a smart study regiment, so you don’t have to fork over another couple hundred dollars for a re-take if you were to fail.
The best thing to do is not to worry about the passing rate, or failing – but to get a hold of the reference guide for the exam you’re taking, as well as a supplemental study guide to make your life a whole lot easier. It can be costly to get these preparation materials, but it can cost you even more to retake the exam over and over again.
There are many LEED study guides out there, so it can be difficult to choose which ones are the best for you. Also, please note that the USGBC will be coming out with their own study guides for each of the exams very soon (predicted to be sometime in October), so look out for those too. Since they are guides directly from the USGBC, they are sure to be as helpful, if not more helpful, than existing study guides on the market.
Another helpful tip is to make use of practice exams for the LEED Green Associate Exam or Specialty exams as much as possible. They will help you get familiar with how the questions and test is formatted, which proves to be very helpful in improving exam scores for everyone.
After you apply for the LEED exam and register for the date of your exam, setup a schedule to learn a few of the prerequisites and credits each day, only moving on to the next after you have mastered and memorized all parts of the credits, including the intention, benefits and environmental impact, implementation, referenced standards, related credits exemplary performance, and calculations, if applicable. Use the definition list in the back of the reference guide to understand any terms that you do not understand as you’re going through the credits.
If you are studying for the Green Associate exam specifically, then you will not be required to learn the details within the credits. You will, however, need to understand all of the various LEED green building strategies that span over all of the LEED rating systems. They are involved in the following topics: sustainable sites, water management, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental air quality, and innovation in design. Also, make sure you catch the regionalization requirements and exactly how the LEED application process works.
Lastly, it’s important just to always keep your head up. It will be a tough process to learn everything you need to know for the LEED exam, but you will be rewarded for your hard work.  Greenexamacademy.com wishes you the best of luck on your exam.
