<p>Today, my teacher told me that you are no longer penalized by losing 1/4 of a point for getting a question wrong on the multiple choice on the APUSH test, but my review book (which is 2011 edition) says you are. Which one is true?</p>
<p>Your teacher is. The penalty for incorrect answers is no longer in effect for any of the AP exams.</p>
<p>Teacher’s right. Many of the “2011” review books are exact copies of the 2010 books, which are copied from 2009, which are copied from 2008, etc. I’m sure the change will be reflected in the 2012 editions, though I’m not sure how much effort the companies want to put into making their books completely up-to-date.</p>
<p>It’s not a matter of the companies not wanting to put the effort in. The CB bulletin (or course descriptions and whatnot) were released after it was too late to change the 2011 publications of the review books.</p>
