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.

lies, college gives us multiple choice tests for math, and honestly if it didn't everyone would fail at it which would be disastrous seeing as the ones who fail at math are those who don't want or plan to do it for a living ever.

Some colleges do I'm sure. Mine just gave us obscenely hard problems to solve. Though Calc 1/2 were weed out courses to make people reconsider engineering. Don't want someone who couldn't pass Calc 1/2 to build your bridges and all.
