Share my ESG Investing exam preparation experience

Total Hours used: 40 (in 2 weeks)

Read the materials, do self-assessment: 20h (pre-reading 61%, after 90%)

Review notes, do mock exam, review mock exam (75%): 10h

Reread chapter 7 and 8, redo assessment (98%) and review mock exam: 7h

Exam day: 3h 


If you have common sense and assume ESG is good, you get 50~60% correctly.

Reading the materials and understanding the big picture and some key initiatives will boost 20%.

Focus on case studies will give you the last 20%.


Lesson: The exam numbers are not by 1-100. There are multiple questions under one question number. I overlooked this and finished my exam 40 minutes early because I thought there were more questions ahead. Anyway, I passed.

Background: I have CFA

Did not use third-party prep.
