I passed the LEED Green Associate on June 12 2014. Practice tests from poplar network helped me so much. They made me know what each credit in each LEED category is composed of. I was told that there is no calculations for LEED Green Associate but I had one calculation in my exam and thanks to the Poplar practice tests i was able to answer it correctly. I am very grateful. - Sanaa C.

I really appreciated having your study materials - they were tremendously helpful in preparing for the exam, which I passed.

Dear Alex and Rob,

Being a part of the GreenStep Professional Project Experience program gave me the opportunity to learn and surf the study resources for the LEED AP exam through real practice work and in full confidence.

I had the sense of belonging to a group with the same enthusiastic desire of professional growing.

I found the online workshop a high quality event that also helped me to maximize my study and professional time.

Definitely, it represents a milestone in my career progression.

Looking forward to share my personal exam experience with you in a short time!

I took the LEED AP+C exam on friday for the first time, and passed it. As most people say, Not an easy exam! In fact, it was quite challenging, but I'm glad that it's off my shoulders :) I wanted to thank you and Alex for all the materials that you provided through Greenstep, and Poplar, they were efficient and useful for this exam.

I hope to see more and more professionals getting involved in Sustainable and Green Building industry, and make our planet a healthier place to live.

- Nazanin K.

Thanks for an exceptionally well-taught and engaging web series (not an easy feat online!) It actually helped me land an interview tomorrow afternoon to help a consulting firm with LEED projects in LA!

- Laura M.

I wanted to thank you for the excellent material you provided for studying for the LEED GA exam. I ordered it April 29 and logged in and took 2 practice exams at once and got 75/100 and 76/100 with only 24 hrs to go til taking the actual exam. You had so much material in the exams that I had never heard of! So I started in on your flash cards. They were brilliant, clear, concise, much more so than the material from which I had been studying though there were of course many overlaps. Thanks to your flash cards combined with the practice exams, I passed! with a score of 179. Not very elegant. But good enough. Now I want to go for LEED AP Homes and maybe LEED AP ID .... and maybe not. Hope you have material on these if I do.

Thanks again, Leslie A.

Thank you for your excellent tests. I swore by your material for the Green Associate and easily passed, thank you.

I feel that the Poplar exam prep provided a comprehensive overview of the LEED certification process, but at the same time was concise and to-the-point, so it was not difficult to get through. This helped me to make good use of my study time and prepare for the exam in an efficient manner. I felt confident both going into and coming out of the test.
