I'm afraid he's wrong. The CQB has never had more than 8000 questions in it and many of the updates feature the removal of rubbish questions, hence CQB13 had less questions in it than CQB11. I can't remember what the CQB14 total is but I think its in the seven thousands. All JAA states have similar sized question banks because they are all derived from the 'current' CQB. The 'large number of questions in our question bank' is a marketing tool, mostly the extra questions are either old, bad questions that the JAA no longer use or old progress tests from Oxford, bristol and others - i.e. school questions not CQB questions.
As a matter of interest there has been a proposal on the table for years to publish the CQB when it hits a total of 10,000 questions. This has never been achieved.
