<p>The story I heard about this is as follows; whether or not this happened, I don’t know.</p>
<p>One year, a truck carrying the FRQ booklets got wet. Apparently, many of the booklets in the truck were unreadable, as the pencil markings had run. Some of the ink ran, but if it was tradition ball point pen ink, it was fine, and the scorer could read it. However, the FRQ’s that were unreadable were thrown out unscored; people got a score based on the multiple choice responses.</p>
