The USGBC LEED AP Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) exam includes 100 questions to be completed within 110 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

To pass the USGBC LEED AP Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) exam you need 170, and the official registration fee is $495 USD. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full $495 USD again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

Must hold a valid LEED Green Associate credential OR must meet eligibility requirements through relevant experience in planning, design, or construction related to sustainable neighborhood development. Recommended: 2+ years of project experience.

Eligibility rules do change from time to time, so confirm the current requirements before you register on the official exam page.
