Well, I scored 96% on the Fundamentals of Instruction exam and it took me

The Flight Instructor written looks like a thorough refresher rather than a
tough exam, then he told me what to expect on the oral exam which guarantees
I'll have my nose in the books for awhile. *Is the oral the toughest part of
the CFI rating?

An average amount of time for the oral is about 8 hours. Some
examiners schedule the oral on a different day than the flying. Expect
a lot of questions about FOI. This is one of the reasons some choose
to do the instrument instructor before the ASE instructor (to break up
a hard checkride).
