2- EXERCISE USING PRACTICE EXAMS
After learning the material, it’s essential to exercise using credible LEED practice exams that simulates the difficulty of the official exam. Even if you know the material, tricky questions can be the reason you fail. By passing several practice questions you ensure you are ready.
3- REVIEW USING FLASHCARDS
Based on your performance on the practice questions, focus on reviewing your weaker areas. Instead of retaking the full exam prep. It’s helpful to use flashcards, which present key terms in a question-and-answer format. Once you’ve reviewed the material and performed well on practice exams, you’re ready for the official exam.
4- SCHEDULE YOUR LEED EXAM
It is time for the LEED exam registration. First create a USGBC account, purchase the official LEED Green Associate exam, and you’ll receive a USGBC ID. With this ID, go to the Prometric website to schedule your exam at a test center or take it online from home.
