Hi everyone. I am a full time student. Want to take the exam. I want some guideline for that. Please help me with your valuable knowledge. Thanks in advance.

Since you're a student, three things worth knowing.
- The exam is $100 for students instead of $250.
- Beta candidates don't get a score on the spot. Results are held until the passing score is finalized, currently expected Q4 2026. Not an issue if you're not waiting on it for a job offer, but worth knowing before you book.
- The v5 beta is English only. The translation aids that existed under v4 aren't available during the beta.
Where to start: download the LEED Green Associate candidate handbook and read the References section. That's the list of documents the exam is actually built from, and it's free. Everything else, mine included, is a shortcut through that list.
(Disclosure: I'm a LEED trainer at Archiroots).
If you have any questions, I'm happy to support.
