NEW LEED v4 GREEN ASSOCIATE GUARANTEED: Updated with NEW LEED v4! 3rd Edition

This book and the "LEED Green Associate V4 Exam Practice Tests" by A. Togay Koralturk were the two best guides I used in passing the LEED Green Associate Exam. This book in of itself would have been enough to pass and coupled with Togay Koralturk's book makes it a walk in the park. I have a boat load of certs and this certification exam is by far the easiest I have ever taken. I have zero experience in construction and have never worked in the industry, I'm an IT guy and I scored a 190 out of a possible 200 on the exam. If you want to sit the exam, this is a great purchase!!

I used this as my primary reference, read through twice before attempting the review questions and practice exams, then carefully went through the document and all "flash-card" tests, end of chapter quizzes and the 100-question exam at the end of the book.I augmented this source with the LEED GA Mock Exams publication by Gang Chen.Carefully reviewed questions and researched my incorrect answers each time. The two days prior to the exam, I took the 100-question test in this publication a second time, and took two tests in the Chen book. The strategy worked, I passed the exam with a good score.

I was skeptical, but this little ten dollar book really got me acing the GA exam! I read it on my phone commuting to work, supplemented it with two other mock exams I got from work, took some initiative to look up a few things online (eg. mnemonic devices for memorizing standards, LEED scorecard, etc), and I ended up spending about two weeks studying. Tip: the book is a very concentrated distillation of the other material out there, so don't take any one sentence for granted. Seriously, the most efficient way to study for this test.

I like the format and how it goes over what we need to know for the exam in a succinct way. (I haven't taken the exam yet though). However I feel this book is lacking some serious editing. Some of the questions that are at the end of the chapters or mixed into the chapter sections will say for example "CHOOSE TWO" yet in the answer key there is one answer. This causes me to have to go back and make sure that I read the question correctly.

This book has everything you need to know about the LEED Exam, in the most blunt and no nonsense way possible. Great study tool, has all the important vocab per subject, as well as quizzes throughout the book, and an exam at the end. Made studying a million times easier, and for a remarkable price! It’s a must buy, this has been the most helpful resource I have come across by far.

This guide is very poorly written.The first two chapters are deceptively good, but everything goes downhill after that. There are typos - to the point that you can't understand the word listed in the vocabulary terms. There are case studies that you are referred to "earlier in the chapter" that aren't there. It's like this book was not edited. The study guide questions that the author wrote ask for you to use very specific formulas that do not appear in the chapter content. Questions ask for two answers, but the study guide only lists one answer as correct, then vaguely says both were correct in the explanation.I really can't trust that this book is truly preparing me for the LEED Green Associate exam. I am returning this (if I can) and purchasing something else. This has been extremely disappointing, but you do get what you pay for.

i recommend this book to study for the LEED Green Associate exam. I read two other study books and I was not understanding the material like I felt I should before a exam. So when this book came out I read the first few preview pages and felt very comfortable in understanding the concepts so I purchased the book. I read the book two times like the author recommended and took all the practice exams. I am happy to say I passed it on the first try.

This was a very useful study guide, which helped me pass the exam on the first attempt. The charts in the back of the book and quick statistic references were extremely useful for me.
