But is very helpful in pointing you into the direction of how the test questions will be structured. I found the book assisted me to focus on how/why the different synergies are related and of importance. That is why I liked this guide (after the first time thru). The LEED program is all about one credit relating to another - but that isnt apparent in just reading/studying the USBG material. This book does not follow the rigid format of the USBG; but gives insight on how - for example - "Vegetative Roofs" also effects "Optimized Energy Performance"; "Heat Island Effect" and "Storm Water Quantity" are interrelated. This book helped to train my mind on how to analyze the questions.Advice for new applicants for LEED:How I approached study was to read a section of the USGB guide first; taking notes and highlighting. Then I would read this same section of this guide. I found I was acing the the short quizzes in the guide. But once thru reading all gazillion pages of USBG; then going back and retaking the short quizzes; not so good. It allowed me to focus on areas that I lacked knowledge in and need further study.I paid for the exam and required USGB books out of pocket. I looked at it that I wanted to maximize my probability of passing given the budget i had. I took no online course nor schools. I took extensive notes. I took every FREE online practice test I could find - and took them again. I re-read this guide.Passed with a 92.This review is for LEED version 3.0. USBC has now updated to version 4. I would look/buy for this same guide once available for the newest LEED requirements. Great hammer in the toolbox!!!!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Based in LEED V3; not usefull for current version.By Raul ChavezDont buy it for v4 exams; its an old version; so it doesnt contain updated info.This version mention 7 MPRs; this has been reduced to 3 MPRs; this version indicates LEED AP exams require candidates to comply with LEED project hours and this is no longer required.This book doesnt include Location and Transportarion credit categories and this is a recent addition to the LEED rating sistems.Just buy the LEED reference guide and study the references listed under the candidates handbook.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not a substitute for the USGBC Reference GuideBy Paolo FrancescaThis study guide was a helpful summary; but to learn the information on the exam you need the LEED Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction from the USGBC. I read this book first but found myself confused about a lot of the information. I then read the USGBC reference book which was much more detailed about each credit and clarified a lot of the information; and gave resources for further digging. The summaries of each credit at the end of each chapter of this book were the most helpful. The appendices were good too. I found quite a few errors which made it hard to trust all the information. If you outline and summarize the reference book yourself; you would do just as well without this book. This book is a good supplement; but dont rely on it alone. Get the $200 USGBC Reference Guide!
