We will be transitioning from LEED v3 to LEED v4 content for the LEED AP Homes exam between June 15, 2015 to June 30, 2015. If you are interested in continuing with LEED v4 content, you can study the LEED for Homes rating system (LEED v4) and then you should test after July 1, 2015. I hope that helps, and good luck!" </div> </div> <div class="indented"><a id="comment-7274"></a> <div class="comment comment-published clear-block"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170316010028im_/http://www.usgbc.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/fixed_060-060/E%20Thompson2.jpg" alt="" title="" width="60" height="60" class="imagecache imagecache-fixed_060-060"/> <div class="comment-submitted"> <h5>1 year 41 weeks ago</h5><h4 class="replyee_name"><a href="/web/20170316010028/http://www.usgbc.org/people/elizabeth-thompson/0010722266">Elizabeth Thompson</a></h4> </div> <h5 class="company-data">Green Building Specialist, U.S. Green Building Council</h5> <div class="comment-content"> This more recent guidance is the most up to date.
