The PMP Exam Content Outline (https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/...c_lang_temp=en) is a very useful document which you should download and read thoroughly.

It indicates the exam has 180 questions of which 5 are pretest/control questions which won't count towards your final score. So, in other words, you will answer 180 questions, but only 175 of those will actually form the basis of your score. You won't know which 5 questions are the pretest ones.

Hi. Good luck with your studies. From our experience, we're seeing about 50% of the 180 exam questions are agile related. Additionally, we're seeing nearly 80-90% of the questions are situational in nature. The exam is entirely different from the exam just a few years ago. If you are consulting friends/family who passed a previous exam, just realize their image of the exam is not the exam of today.
