Quick links:
CCC tests whether you can identify the real compliance issue, assign ownership correctly, and choose the strongest next action across governance, supervision, surveillance, conflicts, complaints, and regulator interaction.
Yes. Exact CCC web practice is live at MasteryExamPrep. It works best once you can already explain what control failed first, who owned the response, and what should have happened next.
According to CSI’s current CCC Exam & Credits page, CCC is a proctored multiple-choice exam with 100 questions, a 3-hour time limit, a 60% passing grade, and up to 3 attempts.
CSI’s current weighting table for CCC is:
That weighting makes regulators, supervision, surveillance, and conflicts the main first-pass study areas.
Start with regulators, governance, the compliance regime, and supervision. Those areas make the rest of the course easier to interpret because they explain who owns each control and what a compliant escalation path looks like.
CSI positions CCC as a compliance course that meets CSA proficiency expectations for candidates who aspire to become the Chief Compliance Officer of a mutual fund dealer, exempt market dealer, scholarship plan dealer, investment fund manager, or portfolio manager. That makes it broader than a single dealer-desk compliance paper.
Applying them. You still need the vocabulary, but the stronger answer is usually the one that identifies the earliest control breakdown and the best escalation or remediation step.
Open practice after you can already explain why one answer is stronger, not just recognize the right label. Review misses by identifying the control gap, the proper owner, and the right next action.
Use Official Resources. That page should be your source for the current CSI course and exam information when you need operational confirmation rather than study guidance.
