Two post methods in one class based view

Is there possibility to have 2 post methods in one class based view?

I tried to do something like this but of course it doesn't work

My custom view:

class UserExamDetail(APIView):

    def get_queryset(self, pk):
        return Exam.objects.get(pk=pk)

    def get(self, request, pk):
        exam = self.get_queryset(pk=pk)
        if exam:
            exam_closed = 0
            exam_opened = 0
            c_questions = ClosedQuestion.objects.filter(exam=exam)
            o_questions = OpenedQuestion.objects.filter(exam=exam)
            for question in c_questions:
                points = int(question.points)
                exam_closed += points
            for question in o_questions:
                points = int(question.points)
                exam_opened += points
            exam.score = exam_closed + exam_opened
            exam.save()
        serializer = ExamCreatorSerializer(exam)
        return Response(serializer.data)

    def post(self, request, pk):
        serializer = ClosedQuestionSerializer(data=request.data)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save(exam=pk)
            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

    def post(self, request, pk):
        serializer = OpenedQuestionSerializer(data=request.data)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save(exam=pk)
            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

Only first post works and when i try to change function name on for example: post1 and post 2 then Django won't recognize this method as post. If there is possibility to do this, then I'm also curious if I should do this kind of view or maybe Post methods should be separate views?

You could pass additional data to the request body and decide which serializer to use. Here is an example.

def post(self, request, pk):
    if request.POST.get('is_opened'):
        serializer_class = OpenedQuestionSerializer
    else:
        serializer_class = ClosedQuestionSerializer

    serializer = serializer_class(data=request.data)
    if serializer.is_valid():
        serializer.save(exam=pk)
        return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
    return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
