What is the new LEED Green Associate Exam? Do I need to take it?
The new LEED Green Associate Exam assesses your knowledge of green building and the LEED rating system process. You must complete it within 2.5 hours, and it is a computer-based, multiple choice exam. The cost of the exam is $150 for USGBC members and $200 for non-members. If you pass a current LEED exam you will not have to take the LEED Green Associate Exam. However, if you do not pass a current LEED exam, you will need to pass the LEED Green Associate Exam and a LEED AP+ specialty exam to become a LEED AP+.
