LEED AP® BD+C Exam Preparation Guide

The Author of this book Fulya Kocak Gin does a fantastic job of explaining all the LEED AP BD+C Prereqs and Credits. She goes into a lot of detail which I think is a good way to memorize the topics and the credits. I passed my LEED AP BD+C on my first attempt after reading this book around 3 times. Do not be discouraged. These are lot of pages/reading but If you are determined and put in the Hard work I am 100% sure you will pass the Exam. I read the book 3 times because I have a very bad memory but maybe you can pass it after just doing 1 reading of this book. Also try to buy the Flash cards from the same author if you can afford them . They will also help you a lot. I use to read them while my way to the work on the train lol.

This book was great and will keep as reference material. I initially purchased a different online study guide which I had completed. That material was good, but left many subjects on clarified. I bought this book and found it to be thorough and cleared up any questions I had after completing the first set of study guides. I would recommend this book to anyone taking the test.

Used this guide to study for the LEED GA and LEED AP BD+C exam and passed on my first try. The exam questions throughout each sections are really helpful to recall knowledge.

I'm taking the exam this week. So far this exam guide has been a huge help for studying, I honestly don't know what I would do without it. The reason I'm rating it 4 stars is because working through the practice exam and chapter checkpoint questions I've found answers that are completely wrong. It was easy to figure out so it may not screw anyone up but it makes me think this guide wasn't reviewed very well. If it's updated maybe they'll correct the issues. With that said, it would be a good idea to buy the newest version of this study guide. In addition to that, LEED incorporates addendum's to the credits every year and I believe they make a point to have a question on the test that incorporates the addendum but I can't verify that. Anyway, I am open to the possibility that I'm wrong and the exam guide is correct SO one of the questions I found and the only one I can reference at the time I'm writing this review is Question 56 from the practice exam. The answer incorrectly calculated 1% of the total energy cost and said $12,000 was the correct answer when $12,000 is actually 10% which would give the project 3 points not just 1.

Do not recommend this book.I was expecting a much better book after paying this much money. In order to pass with this book you must read the reference guide which makes this book not worth the price. Dont solely rely on this guide, the AP exam is full of details which this guide does not covers. There are lots of mistakes in the sample questions which is very confusing. As the info in the book does not match the answers of the sample questions, you end up going through the reference guide to figure out the corect solution.There are even simple calculation mistakes. If you are not planning to take the AP exam and rather just want to learn briefly about the LEED credits, then this book can be an alternative for you as its like a short summary of the reference guide.

I just passed the LEED AP BD+C exam with score of 186 by studying from this preparation guide. It provide good explanation to each credit and the Good to know section is a great section of each credit that gives you a brief summary of what you need to memorize/know.

Used this product to pass the LEED AP BD&C first try. Purchase the study cards as well as it will definitely help reinforce the knowledge the book is making in regards to key points that a LEED professional should know in the field. Great product.

I love this book as well as their practice tests!
