How Free and LEED Exam Prep Go Together

I’ll just go ahead and say it: the Green Associate and the LEED AP exams are not easy to pass. They both require thorough preparation efforts, including diligence in studying for months ahead of time and a diverse preparation routine, ranging from practice tests to flashcards. However, the rewards for earning a LEED credential go beyond any well deserved feelings of accomplishment: LEED credentials can help you in your professional career.

In the Slideshare below, Poplar shares six completely free – no strings attached, I promise! – best practices for preparing for the LEED Green Associate test effectively. You’ll learn valuable tips and resources that simply cannot and will not hurt in your study endeavors.

In addition to the slideshare, the Poplar team so ardently believes in supporting the green building movement and helping green building professionals learn new concepts and succeed in their career path, that they have compiled free quizzes and other green downloads on their "free tools" page.

Poplar members can also take advantage of a free 30-minute LEED AP exam prep webinar available from Alex Spilger, founder of GreenStep Education with the purchase of any GreenStep LEED AP study pack.

I can summarize this LEED AP exam prep video in one word: Awesome.

Spilger really knows his stuff. In addition to being a LEED AP with over 40 LEED projects under his belt, he has taken LEED exams over a dozen times in order to stay fully up to date on their methods. His LEED AP study guides are legendary, and the GreenStep LEED project experience program pioneered the concept of online LEED project experience. As his thousands of workshop participants can quickly attest, you’re learning from the best. Here are just two LEED AP Exam insights you’ll receive in the first six minutes:

(a) The LEED AP exam requires more difficult calculations
(b) The LEED AP takes longer to finish than the LEED GA exam, despite having the same number of questions. This means you’ll need to be careful with your time.
