Leed Acreditted

I want to be a Leed Acreddited professional as i am a HVAC Design engineer, i think being leed certified would bring me both indepth knowledge & exposure to industry.
How to become LEED certified
It made me
relieved! 
"It was a lot of memorization, but now it's done!"
How I did it:
I signed up for the exam about three months in advance and started to study a bit. But then sorta got caught up with life and the exam snuck up on me and I suddenly realized that it was three weeks away!! So I basically did nothing but go to work and come home and study for two and half weeks. It sucked - perhaps I should add 'stop procrastinating' to my 43 things list;)
Anyway, like anything else, I just stuck to it. The incentive written into my offer letter at my job didn't hurt as a motivator either!
Lessons & tips: I'm a visual learner, so flash cards really work for me.
The practice exams that I did online were also invaluable.
Know the reference handbook for the track you are taking (NC, CI, etc) inside and out.
The questions that I had the most trouble with were about the submittals, knowing exactly what documents (besides the USGBC form) need to be submitted for each credit.
Resources: The USGBC website has lots of useful info that isn't in the reference handbook.
I found greenexamprep.com really helpful - the practice tests were difficult (on par or a bit more difficult than the real thing) and had flash cards that I could print out rather than making my own, which ended up being a time saver even though the act of making the flash cards is usually helpful in the learning process there's just soooo much info that it was quicker this way.

Well…after spending the last couple hours on the gbci website, I think I know what I need to do. Its seems the system is changing at the moment and the LEED AP BD+C exam is not even available until September 2009. Since I have never professionally worked on a LEED project this goal is a little out of my reach at the moment, as I’m ineligible to even apply. I have thought about going for the LEED Green Associate credential, but I think I’ll wait out for the opportunity to work on a LEED building and study for the exam in the meantime.

Studying
6 months ago
I signed up for the exam 3 months ago, but somehow didn’t really start studying until 3 weeks before the exam!! But I’m feeling ok about it – the practice exams that I’ve been doing are going ok and helping me pin point what to focus on. So now with 3 days left it’s crunch time!

which certification is in most demand or is expected to be?
what are the actual differences?
new construction.. ok
commercial interior… what is the expectation at a leed redo?
residential is the 3rd, yes? are people really willing to pay for a leed redo?

“Where can I get materials to study for this exam? I am a student and don't have the 400$ for the official reference manual”
