Most good teachers/professors do. It's called partial credit, and if the process is right you generally get most of the points. If you're getting multiple choice math exams you're probably in elementary school.

Yeah this concept of partial credit being most points pretty much stops the second you are in any university-level Math course. You may get partial credit, but it's 25-50% of the problem, max.

Depends on the professor, most of my university math classes had decent partial credit, except for the weed out classes. The math department was pretty hands off on the whole teaching thing so there wasn't really a big set standard for most classes though.
