In an easy-to-review format, it pulls together all the critical points readers need to know about green building. It provides many flexible study tools, including individual and group learning activities, as well as review and practice questions utilizing the same format as the actual exam.


You should have a strong understanding for green building concepts like the Triple Bottom Line and regenerative design, as well as an understanding for each LEED credit category. As a general rule of thumb for studying, every LEED credit category has prerequisites and an assigned number of points. The higher the point value for a category, the more heavily it is often tested on the exam, so use this to guide your studying!


The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) administers LEED certification for all commercial and institutional projects registered under any LEED Rating System. USGBC administers the development and ongoing improvement of the LEED rating systems. USGBC is also the primary source for LEED and green building education and resources for project teams, such as reference guides, rating system addenda, workshops, online trainings and other tools to help you achieve success on your LEED project.


Last year on my study abroad trip, I got to visit the USGBC headquarters where I discovered their Center for Green Schools, an organization that is dedicated to building green school buildings for children. I fell in love. I am a huge proponent of sustainability education, and here this Center was teaching children about sustainability through transforming their surroundings. Since we spend 90% of our days indoors, what greater way to educate children about sustainability than to show them firsthand what sustainable surroundings look like? And on that brainwave, what better way to teach communities, states, and nations what sustainability is through building structures?


anyone take the LEED Green associate exam? care to share your experiences/tips/recommend study guides--especially free ones, since i just forked over $50 (!!) to apply to take the exam ($50 in addition to the exam fee).

how much time did you spend reading/studying?

easy? lots of trick questions?



thanks!








I'm studying for it as well, I have a copy of "LEED PREP GA : WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW TO PASS THE LEED GREEN ASSOCIATE EXAM" (Yes, the title is in all caps). It was given to me by a classmate who read it and passed it. 



Also, my friends wife runs ' '. which has lots of useful info on all things LEED includuing a guide and practice tests.


Also studying for it, and as far as I know, the questions aren't so much trick questions, rather questions can be on any info pertaining to the LEED point system/implementation process/documentation process. It's just a matter of taking the time to hanker down and memorize everything, and I mean everything, about LEED. I honestly wished they'd break the GA test into categories a la GREs. I've found the PPI LEED GA flashcards and practice exams to be quite helpful; not sure how much it'll run you, as I have free access to it. Also, don't bother buying the 'Core Concepts' guide from GBCI/USGBC. It's absolute rubbish and rather vague.


I'm hoping to take the test by the end of the summer. I don't want to pay for the exam then fail and have to take it again. It seems like a couple months studying will do the trick. At least thats what people are saying at this forum

I bought the core concepts guide and the Green Exam Prep/Practice Exam from 



Here is another helpful website. Good luck!

I spent a couple of weeks studying (while unemployed so it could take longer for you if you have to do it at night) and passed with a 187. I used the GBES study guide, but all the information that you need is found in the free resources listed in the candidate handbook (including the optionals). The study guides just condense it. Though I did find the GBES audiobook version of the study guide useful as another way to absorb the information. 



Definitely do at least a couple of practice tests to get used to the wording of the questions which can be confusing and to gauge where you need to focus your studying. I used Everblue, which was pretty good but expensive.



Make sure you study the GBCI website.



Make sure you understand synergies.


My thoughts on LEED GA exam advice in blog post and webinar forms, both free!



The blog post reviews many of the study guides mentioned above and provides links to a free set of study materials that are pretty good. The webinar covers most of the blog post materials but in more detail.



Sorry for the spam, but I thought it would be legitimately helpful in this instance!


while i definitely wouldn't argue against leed (or maybe even any other such pay-for-credentials scheme) being bs, i do want to share my experience studying and passing (yay!) the exam.



1. i did not pay for any materials/study guides/practice tests whatever. i used the primary source materials that are available on the usgbc/gbci website (though somewhat hard to find). i also used the free studio 4 study guide and practice test.



2. in terms of time spent, i read through the materials listed above starting in may in a sort of half-assed way (on the bus, while at work and things were slow). i finished reading everything last week. i meant to start studying and reviewing about two weeks ago but that didn't happen. i think finally, last weekend (a week before the exam) i finally sat down to try to memorize everything. i studied a few hours monday and tuesday nights, did the practice exam thursday night. reread some stuff at lunch/while at work, and did a little studying friday afternoon. saturday was a marathon review session (about 8:30 am till 10 pm with some breaks for lunch/head over to a favorite coffee shop/run to the corner store/yell at the neighbors for having a band play at night and being loud assholes). sunday i woke up to study, again starting at around 9, stopping around noon, and took the test at 3.



3. i actually finished the exam in about 35 minutes and spent another hour or so looking over my answers and being sure i didn't make any stupid mistakes. i don't think time would be an issue (i also finished the practice test in about the same amount of time).



4. as for content, i'd say there was a lot dealing with refrigerants, a lot dealing with water efficiency, what constitutes local/recycled/reused materials, integrated design process, and very little about how to achieve certain credits (though there was some of that). i was actually surprised at how much stuff referred to existing buildings/operations and maintenance. a lot of identifying which standards certain credits referred to as well (wtf, i know! that's like the stupidest information to need to retain). i had to do no calculations (not even simple ones). there were some questions referring to stuff outside of my materials that i just had to make an educated guess for, but not many (maybe 3 or 4).



5. i was exhausted while doing it (noisy neighbors and their stupid band). i thought it was challenging while doing it, but while i reviewed my answers, i decided it was pretty easy after all. if i were focused i could have done all the reading and studying in 2 weeks, though it would be a lot for someone working full time.
