The LEED Green Associate exam is scored between 125 and 200. A score of 170 or higher is required to pass. Your score will be displayed on the screen at the end of your exam and a score report will be emailed to you after the exam session.

All of your exam paperwork must match your valid government-issued identification.

1. Create a USGBC site user account (or sign in to your existing account). Be sure that your account information matches your photo identification.

2. Select the LEED Green Associate Exam under the credentials section and follow the instructions on the screen to register.

3. Once you complete the registration process, you are given a unique eligibility ID (EID). You can use that to schedule your exam with Prometric. You can choose to either take your exam at a Prometric Testing Center or from home as a remote proctored online exam.
