Score 70% or more and you get a CAPM Exam Readiness certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: The Standard for Project Management and PMBOK Guide (Project Management Institute); Agile Practice Guide (Project Management Institute); BABOK Guide (International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA)); What is project management? (Project Management Institute); The Scrum Guide (2020) (Ken Schwaber & Jeff Sutherland); User stories (Mountain Goat Software (Mike Cohn)). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Project Management Fundamentals (Projects, programmes and portfolios, Principles and life cycles and Roles and stakeholders); Predictive, Plan-Based Methods (Scope and WBS, Schedule and cost and Risk and change control); Agile Frameworks (Agile values and Scrum, Kanban and flow and Adaptive planning); Business Analysis Frameworks (Elicitation, Requirements and traceability and Analysis tools). Every question is an original scenario based on a published standard, official documentation or research, named under the question.
