What to expect on Exam Day:

• For the LEED GA exam: you will be asked 100 multiple-choice questions, many which have two or three answers that must be selected.  You will have 2 hours in which to complete this exam.
• For LEED AP+ exams, if your are taking the 2-part exam:
• You will be asked 100 multiple-choice questions, many which have two or three answers that must be selected.  You will have 2 hours in which to complete this half of the exam.
• Your will take a mandatory 15 minute break.
• You will then be asked another 100 multiple-choice questions.  You will have 2 hours in which to complete this half of the exam.
• Many of the multiple choice questions will have two or three answers that must be selected.
• The exam is administered by computer.
• The computer will not permit you to answer more that the required number of correct answers.
• The computer will “flag” any question as “incomplete” if it does not have the required number answers selected.
• You will be able to “mark” any question. This will not effect the question or exam in any other way.
• At the end of each exam you will be given a summary of all questions, where you can see which questions are completed, which questions need to be completed, and any questions that you “marked”.
• When you have completed the exam, you will see your results in about 10 seconds.
• You final score is converted to a 75 point scale from 125 to 200. You need to achieve at least 170 to pass.

Tips for Exam Day:

• Relax and dress comfortable.
• Use the restroom before entering.
• Take your time and read each question carefully, make sure you understand what the question is asking.
• If you are not sure about the answer(s), guess and MARK THE QUESTION. You will most likely have time to review it at the end.
• An unanswered or incomplete question is wrong, so make sure you answer every question, even if it is a guess.
• Go back and review as many questions as time will allow. Some questions may have information to help clear your thoughts on other questions.
• When you are finished, take a deep breath before you click the “finished” button. (I think I wasn't breathing during the 10 seconds or so that I was waiting for the results.)

If you do not pass:

• Before you get drunk or have a good cry, “jot down” as many things that you can remember about the questions on the exam. This will become an excellent resource while you study for your next attempt.
• Schedule the next exam within 2 to 4 weeks. Do not allow yourself to forget what you have learned, just so you have to learn it over again.
• Your testing center will give you a sheet that shows you how you performed (percentage wise) in four categories. Study the categories that you did poorly in.

If you did pass:

• Call everyone you know so that they can congratulate you!
• Have new business cards printed that read: Your Name, LEED AP
• Email us at info@leedsource.com so that we know that we have helped.
• Get drunk and/or have a good cry (optional).
