    1. I found the reference guide way too tedious. Can I read your books only and just refer to the USGBC reference guide (if one is available for the exam I am taking) when needed?

    2. Is one week really enough time for me to prepare for the exam while I am working?

    3. Would you say that if I buy books from your LEED Exam Guide series, I could pass the exam without any other study materials? The books sold on the USGBC website cost hundreds of dollars, so I would be quite happy if I could buy your books and just use them.

    4. I am preparing for the LEED exam. Do I need to read the 2" thick reference guide?

    5. For LEED v3.0, will the total number of points be more than 110 if a project receives all of the extra and standard credits?

    6. For the exam, do I need to know the project phase in which a specific prerequisite/credit takes place? i.e., pre-design, schematic design, etc.

    Preface

    LEED GA Mock Exams is a companion to LEED GA Exam Guide. There are two main purposes for LEED GA Mock Exams: to help you pass the LEED Green Associate Exam and to assist you in understanding the process of getting a building LEED certified.

    The LEED Green Associate Exam is the most important LEED exam for two reasons:

    1. You have to pass this exam in order to get the title of LEED Green Associate.

    2. This exam is also the required Part One (2 hours) of ALL LEED AP+ exams. You have to pass the LEED Green Associate Exam plus Part Two (2 hours) of the specific LEED AP+ exam of your choice to get any LEED AP+ title, unless you have passed the old LEED AP Exam before June 30, 2009.

    There are a few ways to prepare for the LEED Green Associate Exam:

    1. You can take USGBC courses or workshops in person. You should take USGBC classes at both the 100 (Awareness) and 200 (LEED Core Concepts and Strategies) levels to successfully prepare for the exam. A one-day course can cost $450 if you register early enough, the course can be as expensive as $500 if you miss the early bird special. You also have to wait until the USGBC workshops or courses are offered in a city near you.

    OR

    2. Take USGBC online courses. You can go to the USGBC or GBCI websites for information. The USGBC online courses are less personal but still expensive.

    OR

    3. Read related books. Unfortunately, there are NO official GBCI books on the LEED Green Associate Exam. However, there are a few third party books on the exam. LEED GA Exam Guide and LEED GA Mock Exams are two of the first books to cover this subject and will assist you with passing the exam.

    To stay at the forefront of LEED and the green building movement and to make my books more valuable to their readers, I sign up and complete USGBC courses and workshops. I also review the USGBC and GBCI websites, and many other sources to acquire as much information as possible on
