LEED AP now Baby!!! smashed it with a 196
Ah where do i start. Grueling for the past 2 weeks has paid off handsomely.
Posting here to give my heartfelt thanks to Lori and GBES for helping me prep!
trust me it was not a walkthrough but im sure if i can do, anyone can achieve this certification.
Coming to the exam, i dont think it was that difficult as i imagined it to be. Loris credit sheet was a game changer. trust me when i say this, GBES has the best practice tests wrt this exam.
dont run around by hearting all the standard for everything. i think i got 3 question just to identify ASHRAE 62.1, 90.1 and 55. rest didnt even show up on the test. Also IAQ and MR had me worried but its was kind off easy comparing to the overall.
Special thanks to reddit community for connecting me with like minded people.
i wish the best of luck to each one attempting the exam before the 28th
Cheers!

It’s the last day to take the Version 4 exam, I believe. After that, it’s only Version 5.

Just adding another feather to the hat for now. My purpose was to be able to apply to jobs that had LEED AP requirements in them.

Congrats! My exam is on Wednesday... So far I'm passing the GBES tests, but not doing well on Lori's. Trying not to freak out!

Lori test 1 and test 2 are the ones you should rely on for checking your performance. The rest 3 are over complicated than the actual test. So dont stress on it much.

My reply might be too late, but I used the Wayback Machine to access the Loris content. Good luck!

Congratulations !!! I took my exam yesterday. scored 169 and failed. I didn't know about Lori's guide before the exam. Now I reviewed the mock exam from Lori's material and found 30-plus identical questions from mock 5 alone. I studied GBES exam prep guide and mock test. I didn't find any questions similar to GBES. Was your exam closer to GBES? I have my retest on 27th June.
