LEED v5 Green Associate

Practice exams for the LEED v5 Green Associate credential, weighted to the official blueprint and written from the four study references named in the candidate handbook.

What the exam tests

The Green Associate exam tests whether you understand why LEED asks for something and how the certification process works. It rarely tests the numeric thresholds inside individual credits; those belong to the AP exams.

The candidate handbook names four references: the LEED Core Concepts Guide (5th edition), Foundations of LEED, the Guide to LEED Certification and the LEED rating system selection guidance. These practice exams were written from those four documents.

How the 600-question course is built

  • Six exams of 100 questions, each weighted to the official blueprint.
  • Difficulty rises from Exam 1 to Exam 6, so you can start early and finish exam-ready.
  • Every answer explains why the right option is right and why each wrong option is wrong.
The v5 Green Associate beta ran from April to September 2026, with scores expected by October 2026. The final exam publishes after that. Check the candidate handbook for the version you will sit.
