So you've decided (or perhaps it's been decided for you) to take the new LEED AP BD+C exam.

Failure is not an option—and LEEDuser has blazed a trail for you to follow and earn that LEED AP credential on your first try. LEEDuser moderator Paula Melton passed the exam on her first attempt—and you can too.

Revealed: all of Paula's secret studying strategies, complete with sample questions.

We also asked Alex Spilger of GreenStep Education to create an extra-challenging 50-question sample exam just for you that you can take right on our website.

Alex is a LEED AP with multiple specialties who retakes the LEED AP exams to maintain his credentials. Alex is adept at translating his LEED expertise to tricky, realistic exam questions. Our sample test will give you an accurate read on whether you're ready for the real thing.

When you take our practice exam, you'll receive an immediate, detailed explanation after answering each question; we'll also tally up your total score at the end.

Alex also created our brand new exam study guide, chock full of details about things like the exam structure, test-taking strategies, and even managing a LEED project. A category-by-category rundown of each credit section rounds out this invaluable guide.

No v4 project experience needed.

Yes, v4 project experience is one way to cram all of this information into your head. But with the uptake of the new system just beginning, you may not have v4 experience to draw upon: Eight Tips for Passing the LEED v4 AP Exam helps you fill that gap.
