From CB:
Friends - There was another change in the course description which affects how
multiple choice questions will be scored. From the course description:
"Multiple-choice scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly.
Points are not deducted for incorrect answers, and no points are awarded for
unanswered questions. Because points are not deducted for incorrect answers,
students are encouraged to answer all multiple-choice questions. On any
questions students do not know the answer to, students should eliminate as many
choices as they can, and then select the best answer among the remaining
choices." This same change was announced today for AP Statistics - in the course
description for that course. John F. Mahoney Moderator AP Calculus EDG Benjamin

There is a revision in the AP Calculus Course description (Acorn Book)
http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/courses/teachers_corner/2178.htmllogin
"Beginning with the May 2011 exams, the format of the free-response sections of
the AP Calculus exams is being modified so that Part A (graphing calculator
required) consists of two problems and Part B (no calculator allowed) consists
of four problems. There is no change in the multiple choice problems." 30
minutes will be allowed for Part A and 60 minutes will be allowed for Part B.
Students will be allowed to continue to work on the Part A problems (without a
calculator) during those 60 minutes. John F. Mahoney Moderator, AP Calculus EDG
