Credential and source path
Foundations Source Study Path
Start with the current LEED v5 eight-domain specification and four official references, then use legacy material only as supplemental review without a readiness or pass prediction.
Current source setup
LEED Green Associate v5
reviewed 2026-10-11
The current exam has 100 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes, including scored and unscored items. Results use a 125–200 scaled score and require 170; that is not a raw 85% threshold. The last v4 test date was April 26, 2026.
Legacy supplemental boundary
v5-aligned admissions: 0 / 1000 prompts, 0 / 5 lessons, and 0 / 22 flashcards. Existing material remains legacy supplemental until its domain, specification locator, named reference, source locator, ownership, license boundary, reviewer, date, and human-review flag are complete.
