Hello,

I'd like to prepare for both the GA and the AP BD&C exams. Is it necessary to purchase "both" Super Study Packs - or does one cover "both" exams?

Thanks!

Dianne

Answer: 

Hi Dianne, thanks for your question. The LEED Green Associate and LEED BD+C Super Study Packs are each targeted for their particular exams. So, you'd want to buy both.

We typically recommend that people take the LEED Green Associate first and then prepare for the LEED AP exam afterward, rather than taking both exams at the same time (same sitting).

Let me know if you have any additional questions and thanks again!

Hi Rob,

Thank you for the quick response. Would you have any suggestion on how long to "wait" to take the LEED AP exam, after completing the GA exam ? Thanks again!!

Answer: 

Hi Dianne, once you've passed the LEED Green Associate, I would suggest giving yourself at least 30 days to go through all the LEED AP exam preparation material to memorize everything in the study guide and use practice tests until you're scoring 95-100% on each one. I would also suggest making your own flashcards as you go through the process of preparing for the LEED AP creating a card for each term or question or topic you're having trouble remembering.

Let me know if you have any additional questions and thanks again,
Rob

Answer: 

Hi Mohamad, congrats! The package you linked to includes a great study guide, practice questions, online exam simulators and project experience for the BD+C exam. There's no longer a project experience requirement for the exam, so we've included it in the LEED exam preparation package itself. - Thanks again, Rob
