H2I3T

"If you're not a project manager coordinating with dozens of consultants to get a LEED certified project, then your wasting your time. The exam tests for knowledge gained through administering LEED projects, not what you can study in the guide or how good a green designer you are."

"I became a LEED AP mainly because it was a personal goal and also because I figured it would be a good step toward getting the opportunities to work on green projects."

"The test only cares if you know how to submit a project for LEED certification, not that you can design a high performance/green building."
