Default FOI...lol... CFI oral?

I used the FAA Aviation Instructor's Handbook and the Gleim Certified Flight
Instructor test prep. The first chapter of the latter is the FOI test.

By recommendation here I bought a used copy of Kershner's Flight
Instructor's Manual, which is great, but not best for the written exams so I
read threw a few chapters and put it aside for the time being. That's it
so far, although these guys have me a little nervous about the oral exam
now. :

Gatt, what did you use for prep of your FOI/CFI

Well, I scored 96% on the Fundamentals of Instruction exam and it took me
about ten minutes, so I kinda wish I'd not have stressed on all the
psychobabble so much. I told the CATS proctor I was shooting for 100%
and he joked "Well, it's a solid fifteen-minute exam."

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?
