I’m taking the SASB Level II exam next week. Level I was pretty easy for me, but the Level 2 study material has been harder for me to understand.

What was your experience? TIA

There’s a TCFD certificate?

Where’s info on this exam?

I’ve passed level 1 of the SASB FSA and completed the pilot exam for level 2 so I am waiting on the results. What sort of advice are you after?

Hey, sorry for the late reply.

I found level 2 much more difficult. The exam really focused on identifying the universe of sustainability issues eg identify the difference between data security and consumer privacy.

I can’t help but think I don’t fit in here and people don’t like me - especially because I went to a lower-ranked school, grew up poor, and am neurodivergent so networking is hard for me.
