New versions of the LEED exams will be phased in some time during 2009. Why should I take the current version of my LEED exam now, rather than waiting for the new version?
The LEED exams will be changing soon and it’s in your best interest to become LEED accredited as soon as possible. Here are the top 10 reasons why: 1. Number of Exams: Currently you only have to pass one exam to become a LEED AP. Under the new, LEED AP+ credentialing program you would need to pass two exams (a LEED Green Associate Exam and a LEED AP+ Specialty Exam). 2. Difficulty: The new LEED exams will be more difficult than the current versions with an expected pass rate of only 20%, compared to 34% for the current exams. 3. Lower Exam Fees: The cost of taking a current LEED exam is $300 for USGBC members and $400 for non-members. Under the new credentialing program, the cost of taking the LEED Green Associate Exam will be $150 for USGBC members and $200 for non-members. This is in addition to the $300 LEED AP+ Specialty Exam fee for USGBC members and $450 for non-members. Other credentialing application fees will apply under the new program, as well. 4. No Application Fees: Other
