Remaining on the WE category: Q: How many points? A: 5 possible points (WEc1.1, WEc1.2, WEc2, WEc3.1 and WEc3.2) Q: how many credits? A: are they 5 (same as th epossible points) or 3 (WEc1.1, WEc1.2, WEc2, WEc3.1 and WEc3.2) by strategy (WE1, WE2 and WE3)? Thanks again Flora Patrick, thanks for your answer; my question was not about the possible points but how you count the number of credits when there are subs such as WEc1.1, WEc1.2.

Therefore, for the WE category, there are 5 possible points. Hope your studying goes well!

I am confused about the pre-requisites - do they each have carry one credit which contributes to the overall scoring? Or, as per the WIMSEE table, are they excluded from scoring?

To clarify, there is ONE exemplary performance option for WEc3 by achieving a 40% reduction. If you achieve 40%, you get 3 points total because the 40% exceeds the 30% requirement for WEc3.2 and the 20% requirement for WEc3.1. Sorry greenair, I can see how my last comment is confusing.

I forgot to mention that I am preparing for Canadian LEED exam. I found Intheleed by chance 2 months ago and keep visiting here frequently. I have to say that this is the best Leed exam- supporting website except that it is based on US Leed version rather than the Canadian one. But anyway, I still like it. I just checked the US Leed reference guide and found that only submittals for application are included for each credit just after the credit requirement. However,in addition to application submittals, Canadian reference guide also include submittals for audition, when CAGBC wants to audit your application for any credit(s). Personally, I believe they are even less important than application submittals to know. But I will look them through just in case. Thank you so much, anyway! Rachel Hi Pat,

If so, then yes, I believe that they aren't really as important as all of the other information to learn. What do you mean by submittals for auditions? If by this you mean the application process, then I advise that you MUST learn about that. The application, CIR and appeal processes are some of the most asked topics on the test - but they aren't that hard to understand, just check out the section I wrote about those here, if this is indeed what you are speaking of. if not, please clarify so I or anyone else can help =) http://www.intheleed.com/leed-project-registration-cir-appeal/ Thanks again!

Here is another general question. The familarity of the submittals is required for preparing the exam, right? Do we need to be very familiar with submittals for auditions as well? I find those kinds of info are so overwhelming. Since you didn't include those stuffs in your study guide blank/semi blank card, does it imply that they are unlikely to be tested in the exam from your insight? Please clarify. Thank you very much!
