The CLEP Official Study Guide book shows that the full exam (including the listening portion) is multiple choice, they are a little tricky though:
For the example given in the book you will find the following as the breakdown, I would assume the breakdown remains the same but the number of questions may differ:
-9 questions of listening with only an A-D choice (no words/phrases next to the letter choices)
-13 questions of listening with A-D choices which list the words/phrases next to the answer choices
-9 questions which have a fill in the blank (A-D choice with words)
-9 questions which have fill in the blank in a paragraph (multiple choice A-D with words)
-19 questions which ask you to read a passage and answer questions
The good news is it looks like this test uses only A-D instead of A-E multiple choice like most other CLEP exams.
If you need a better idea then you might want to download (for a fee) the official study guide from collegeboard.org/clep or purchase the book "CLEP Official Study Guide" (roughly $24.99)
