The M9 mock exam & question bank
M9 (CM-LIP Part 1) is the CMFAS life insurance paper covering insurance principles, life policy types, and the law and regulation behind life insurance. Most of the syllabus is principles rather than product detail.
A representative recommends an investment-linked policy to a client. Under the Financial Advisers Act, what must the representative do before the client commits to the purchase?

What makes M9 tricky
Many policy types to keep straight
Term life, whole life, endowment, and investment-linked policies all appear. It is easy to confuse their features under pressure.
Hard to find your weak chapters
The syllabus is large and principle-heavy. Without analytics you waste study time on topics you already know instead of your real gaps.
Application questions, not just definitions
The exam does not just ask what an ILP is. It asks you to apply it to a client's needs.
What M9 covers
- Principles of life insurance
- Risk and the law of insurance contracts
- Term life, whole life and endowment policies
- Investment-linked policies (ILPs)
- Premiums and policy values
- Insurance law and regulation
- Needs-based selling and suitability
