I purchased the Green Exam Academy LEED GA exam prep materials. Will I pass the exam if I know these materials, or is it necessary to use additional materials or classes?

Thank-you,
Rick

Hi Sara,

Thanks for stopping by Green Exam Academy. The BD+C reference guide will not really cover the Green Associate part of the exam. The GA exam is a more general exam that goes over the general green building and sustainable design concepts, which the BD+C guide is “too advanced” for. This is why they are recommending the Concepts Guide. The BD+C guide will help with the GA exam a little just because the general concepts are covered in detail in the BD+C reference guide, but it definitely won’t cover everything. Hope this helps! Best of luck to you.

Hi,
I’m a newbie starting to gather material for my studies towards the LEED AP BD+C exam and have a question for you about the resources on the USGBC site. They have a chart on their Exam Prep Strategies page showing those studying for LEED AP BD+C should get the BD+C Reference Guide. They also note that those going only for the Green Assoc should get the Green Building and LEED Core Concepts Guide. Do you think I need to purchase both? or does the BD+C Reference Guide cover everthing for the Green Associates exam, too?
