LEED AP, BD+C candidates are encouraged to study provided hand-outs and come to one or both of the study sessions to ask questions or request a challenging exam topic to be rediscussed. If time allows, the instructor will include sample questions that will be answered by the participants in the session.

Sample Exams: Two-100 question sample exams allow LEED AP, BD+C candidates to measure their understanding of all critical topics that may be included in the actual LEED AP, BD+C credentialing exam. Many of the answers to the questions include explanations that enhances the knowledge retention that was gained during the virtual exam preparation workshops.

All workshop participants are highly encouraged to complete both sample tests. As a good rule of thumb, it is recommended that at least 85 out of the 100 questions are correctly answered before taking the actual exam.
