December 30, 2008:
There are a number of books that you can use to prepare for LEED AP Exam:
1. USGBC Reference Guide. Since you need to pass at least one of the three LEED Exams (LEED-NC, LEED-CI, LEED-EB) to become a LEED AP, you first need to decide which one of the 3 exams you want to take. You need to select the correct version of the Reference Guide for your exam. Most people tend to take LEED-NC exam to become LEED AP.
The USGBC Reference Guide is comprehensive, but it gives too much information (about 400 over-size pages). A lot of the calculations in the book are too detailed for the exam. It is also expensive (about $200.00 each, most people will not buy it for personal use, and will share an office copy instead).
It is good to read the reference guide from cover to cover if you have the time. The problem is not too many people have time to read the whole reference guide. Even if you do read the whole guide, you may not remember the important issues to pass the LEED AP exam anyway. You need to repeat your reading several times before you can remember any study materials.
Reading the reference guide from cover to cover without a guidebook is the most difficult and inefficient way of preparing LEED AP Exam, because you do NOT know what USGBC and GBCI is looking for in the exam.
2. The USGBC workshops and related handouts are concise, but they do not cover extra credits (exemplary performance). The workshops are expensive, costing hundreds of dollars each.
3. Various books published by third party and available on Amazon. Most of them are not very helpful.
"Leed Prep: What You Really Need to Know to Pass the Leed NC V2.2 and CI V2.0 Exams" is one of the few books that cover both LEED NC and LEED CI exams.
It has 392 pages, and can be a helpful resource for you in preparing for these two exams. It provides a concise review on the subject of the tests, 50 sample questions, a glossary, an introduction to green building, and lists of commonly used acronyms and resources.
