Just to clarify, according to the current communication from the PMI, which I've provided a few posts above, the CAPM exam contains 3 types of questions (not 5):
1. "Standard" multiple choice questions with ONLY one correct answer.
2. Multiple responses questions with MORE than one correct answer.
3. Matching Drag-and-Drop questions.

For more details, please refer to the PMI website:

Our understanding is that you may come across the following:
- Multiple choice (select one)
- Multiple choice (select two, select three, select four)
- Drag & drop (for example, put do-check-plan-act into the right order)
- Fill in the blank (for example, ____ is the abbreviation for Work Breakdown Structure)
- Click into the appropriate area (for example, where on the project timeline is it MOST expensive to implement a change request)

Debra,

As much as it pains me to say this: We don't have updated CAPM questions at this time, and we also cannot say when we will.

This is because PMI has been issuing change after change after change after change for nearly all of their exams over the past 12 months. The latest example is the fact that PMP students are suddenly reporting that they are now seeing 20-30 Agile questions on the PMP exam, even though PMI earlier stated that they would NOT be adding Agile to the exam in 2020. <sigh>. And that's just one of many examples...

Unfortunately, all these changes have simply overwhelmed us and our small team.
