Thank ya.Congrats! Only have a minute to respond but did you purchase additional study material? If so, was it helpful?
Off to a bid opening. Currently signed up for LEED Exam on Jan. 5th, 2009 and have only completed light reading. Time to step it up and study!!!!
Congrats once again.

Buy the practice exams from greenexamprep.com. They put me over the top in my studying. I can't say they'd do you much good this late in the game, though.So they found a way to charge more?
To me, that's all this has done.
Here's hoping I pass this thing Monday. If not, I can't say I'll pursue it anymore.
I used the free exams from the U. of Florida that someone posted in another thread. I think they really helped me.Buy the practice exams from greenexamprep.com. They put me over the top in my studying. I can't say they'd do you much good this late in the game, though.
Giggity. Congrats!I used the free exams from the U. of Florida that someone posted in another thread. I think they really helped me.
As of 9:08 this morning, you can add my name to the ever growing list of LEED AP eb.com members!
Either I'm misinterpreting your post, or the LEED website, or something.Congrats JM!
That continuing ed thing is a bitch. Even if they don't have seminars/training going on, I can always order some PDHs from private Companies for the PE. There is no guarantee that my company will get involved in a LEED project in the next couple of years. It's not exactly the "Go-No Go" criterion we look for when going after a project.
I can totally see myelf standing on a street corner in tattered clothes holding a sign that says, "Will Work for LEED Credits"

That's my understanding as well. If you've already qualified as a "Legacy LEED-AP", then you can upgrade to the new "LEED-AP+" credential simply by:As I can tell, legacy APs only have to sign up for credentialing, pay the $50 every two years, and take 30 hours PDHs with 6 LEED specific. Only new APs have to be involved on a project. Right?
As a "Legacy LEED-AP", the "credential maintenance" policy is the big question mark for me. Many states, including mine, have no continuing education requirements for PEs. So I don't get any company-subsidized continuing education hours, and would potentially have to pay for all 30 hours myself -- not just the 6 LEED-specific hours.So, the only problem I see is that I'll most likely have to pay for 6 hours of PDHs that are LEED specific, as I doubt my company will bring those in as I'm the only AP in the office.
I probably spent about an hour a night, plus a few extra hours on the weekends, over the course of about a month.Hey all LEED Exam Takers,
How much time, on average, did you spend studying for the LEED Exam? I am preparing to take it in the next week or so and was wondering how much time others spent studying for it.
Thanks
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.I probably spent about an hour a night, plus a few extra hours on the weekends, over the course of about a month.
Thanks Bman. I have studying on and off for about 1.5 months and will be taking the exam on the 29th. I have about 4 hard copy practice exams and also paid for the 4 online sample exams from www.greenexamprep.com. I should be ready by the 29th.I studied about a month here and there, but pretty much crammed the last week and did about 2.5 to 4 hours a day, a little more on the weekend. I think the most helpful thing I did was go through the reference guide the night before and read all of the intents, requirements, approach and implementation, etc. for each credit. The credits that I knew I just quickly browsed and sometimes skipped altogether, but the ones that I had trouble with I spent more time on and tabbed them. The morning of the exam I spent another hour or so studying all of the credits that I had tabbed the night before so the info was fresh when I took the exam. Take as many practice tests/quizzes as you can so you'll know what to study up on and you should be alright.
