The Green Associate is the foundational LEED credential. The current handbook organizes exam knowledge into eight domains. LEED v5 emphasizes decarbonization, ecological conservation and restoration, and quality of life.
The final LEED v5 Green Associate exam is available with scores upon completion, according to USGBC's September 28, 2026 update.
U.S. Green Building Council writes the rating system; Green Building Certification Institute administers the credential.
Confirm the current Green Associate registration fee at USGBC. The final exam provides immediate scores.
Online or at a Prometric testing center. English only at beta launch. 85 of 100 are scored; the rest are pretest items.
Plan regular sessions around the handbook domains and revisit the concepts you miss.
USGBC exam info page — cited on every product page on this site.
The final exam is available; 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 key-concepts 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 551 cards covering 35 handbook objectives — scenario-based, explanation on every answer, citation on every source.
Paid full bundle: 551 flashcards, three 100-question practice exams and the full study guide.
Buy the full bundle — $37551 cards mapped to the handbook’s 35 Green Associate objectives. Source citations draw on foundational USGBC material, current process guidance and dated v5 examples.
A compact reference covering the exam at a glance, selected concepts, study reminders and exam-day preparation.
One-page checklist: what to bring, prerequisite-vs-credit trap list, pacing plan, and the reasoning frameworks you want fresh in your head when you sit down.
Three 100-question timed practice exams built to the USGBC handbook's 8-domain blueprint. The $27 launch deck stays available for buyers who only want the flashcards + key-concepts sheet.
Every objective domain in long-form prose — the "open this when the flashcard answer surprised you" reference. Directly cross-referenced to the deck.
When USGBC publishes additional v5 guidance during the beta period, we update the deck. You get every new version at no extra charge.
The candidates who pass aren't the ones who read the rating system the most. They're the ones who practiced retrieval under exam conditions, early and often.
Use the free 10-question quiz above. Score it honestly. The domains where you scored worst are exactly where you start — not where you finish. Most candidates over-study the categories they already know.
551 cards at 20 new cards/day takes about 28 days for a first pass, plus review time. The deck schedules cards you got wrong sooner than cards you got right — that's the whole point of spaced retrieval. Don't binge one domain in a sitting; the wins compound when domains rotate.
Every card cites its source. When you miss one, open the source — read the surrounding context, not just the answer. Use the surrounding context to understand the reasoning behind the answer.
The $37 full bundle includes three 100-question timed practice exams aligned to the USGBC handbook's 8-domain blueprint — sit each untimed first to read explanations, then re-take strict-timed (120 minutes) to simulate the real exam.
By exam morning, the work is done. The key-concepts PDF is one page; reading it sets the framework for the day. Cramming the rating system in the final hour costs more than it gives.
One-time payment. No subscription. Free updates through 2026. 90-day pass-or-refund guarantee — GBCI fail-result proof required.
Just the deck and key-concepts sheet. Skip the practice exams & study guide.
Everything in the deck — plus the timed practice exams and full study guide.
