A practice deck built directly from the USGBC v5 rating system. Shipped before the beta exam launches on April 28, 2026 — not six months after. Every card cites its source. Every question maps to an objective domain. No filler.
The Green Associate is the foundational LEED credential: it demonstrates that you understand green-building principles and the structure of the rating system. LEED v5 keeps that scope but rewrites the content around impact-area thinking — decarbonization, ecology, and quality of life sit at the center, and integrative process is treated as a prerequisite mindset rather than a single credit.
Passing score is set after the beta period; USGBC does not publish a historical Green Associate pass rate. We will not publish a pass-rate figure we cannot cite.
Scenario-based, same format as the real exam. Explanations on every answer. No email required to play — we only ask at the end if you want the cheat-sheet PDF.
10 scenario-based questions pulled from the published U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) source material. About 6 minutes. Full explanations on every answer. No email required to play.
You saw 10 questions. The full Exam Relay LEED v5 Green Associate deck has 250+ cards with the same format — scenario-based, explanation on every answer, citation on every source.
We are the newest v5 prep on the market. Incumbents GBES, Projectific, and GBRI have longer LEED histories and more v4 material. Here is an honest side-by-side.
