Guessing encouraged!

After 10 years of the same format, the AP Calculus exam will be changed for the May 2011 administration.  There will no longer be a 1/4 point guesssing penalty for the 45 multiple choice questions.  Either you get a question right and get a point or get it wrong and get zero.  There will still be six free response questions, but only two will be with graphing calculator (30 minutes) and four will be without graphing calculator (60 minutes).  The details can be found starting on page 12 of the Course Description:
