FAILING

If you receive a score of 169 or lower on any of the sections of your exam, you will be denied the credential. You will receive a copy of your exam results from Prometric, which will indicate your performance on each section.

 

Retaking

If you fail to meet the minimum score requirements of one of the LEED Professional Exams, you may retake the exam by registering again (as long as your application is active) in accordance with the following policy:

Candidates are allotted three registrations per exam section per one year application period. This means that you have three chances to meet the minimum competency score of 170 for any given LEED Professional Credential exam section while your application is live.

For the LEED Green Associate credential, this translates into three attempts at the exam during the one year application period.

For a LEED AP credential, you are allowed three attempts per section during the one year application period. Both sections are delivered concurrently unless you previously passed one of the sections during the current application period. In this case, you will only be tested on the section you have not passed. Once you have passed a section of a LEED AP with Specialty exam, that section will no longer be available to you during your application period. Candidates must pass both sections of a LEED AP with specialty exam to earn the credential.

Please note that there is no discount on a retake; candidates are responsible for the full exam fee for the sections(s) that they retake.
