Before you Begin

Question 1

Personal Thoughts

Answer 1

1) You should know general information for all building types. However, you should prioritize really knowing New Construction.
2) Learning specific information on number of points for each credit/option was not very helpful.
3) Percentages and ratios are very important.
4) You should keep in mind how some credits can be interconnected. For example, gardens help Rainwater Management and Heat Island Reduction.
5) Most important, understand the purpose of each credit, percentages, numbers and why they are useful.

Question 3

Helpful Online Sources

Answer 3

1) Training class
https: //www.udemy.com/course/leed-ap-bd-c-exam-prep-course/
- It was hard to stay focused during the lectures and I think I retained around 40% of the information the first time. However, it was great as a reference tool when creating my index cards and very helpful for the test overall.
2) Sample Tests
https: //www.udemy.com/course/leed_ap_bdc_exams/
- My average score was around 75% for each of the 4 test the first time I took them.
