I took the paper version in '07 because I heard it was a tough exam and I didn't want to be constrained by time limits.
The paper one was a lot of yes/no and true/false when I took it.
The possible changes to exams are one reason you should study the material enough to be ready for anything whenever you possibly can; you might run into situations where cramming and IC just won't be enough.
Potential surprises are a secondary reason why I try to read at least one text before taking an exam. The primary reason is I can satisfactorily say to doubters (of the credit by exam methodology) that I read and studied for the exam and passed it by virtue of actual retained knowledge on the subject.
