You will face 100 questions within 120 minutes on the ESG-Investing exam. The real exam pressure comes from that ratio — knowledge alone does not finish exams on time. Rehearse with the CertkingdomPDF test engine's timed mode, repeat the same question sets until the answers consolidate, and pacing stops being a risk factor.

If you sit the ESG-Investing exam within 60 days of purchase and do not pass, the CertkingdomPDF money back guarantee covers you: file within 2 days of the exam with a scanned enrollment slip and the official score report (PDF), and the claim is processed within 7 days. The candidate name must match the payer name; the policy excludes exams taken within 3 days of purchase, purchases never used in an actual exam attempt, free materials, and expired orders.

The ESG-Investing exam — full title Certificate in ESG Investing — is CFA Institute's own certification test, and passing it awards the ESG Investing Certificate certification at the Foundation / Entry-level Certificate level. The certificate is valuable precisely because it is demanding: it proves to employers that your skills survived a vendor-built examination. It also serves as a stepping stone toward CFA Program.
The passing score is 70%, and the official registration fee is USD $675 (CFA Institute members) / USD $875 (non-members). Note that the fee pays for a single attempt — a retake is charged at full price again, which is the expensive way to discover weak spots. The cheaper discovery method is self-testing: drill 618 practice questions at CertkingdomPDF in timed mode until your scores clear the passing mark with room to spare, then register.
