So I passed my ENV SP last month on my second try and I feel like I owe it to this community to share what worked. First attempt I scored a 68, which stung because I'd spent about three weeks just reading the ENVISION guidance manual cover to cover. Boring and apparently not enough.
What changed the second time around was actually doing ENV SP practice test questions under timed conditions. I found that the exam really hammers sustainable infrastructure credits, stormwater management, and the QL credit categories way harder than I expected. My study guide approach shifted to flashcards for credit intents paired with scenario-based questions, and that combo is what finally clicked for me.
Total study time round two was about 40 hours over six weeks. I aimed for consistently hitting 80%+ on practice sets before booking the retake. If you're in the middle of prep right now, don't skip the Qv2 credits — I had probably 15 questions touching those. Happy to answer anything specific about the format or which topic areas to prioritize.
