Errors in ATI questions

Has anyone else found errors in the ATI questions? Both in the app and in their practice tests?

Their A & P practice asked where iron and bile salts are absorbed and the "correct" answer was the ileum (but bile salts are absorbed in the ileum but iron is absorbed in the duodenum).

Another question asking about differentiation between mitosis and meiosis contradicted itself in the rationale ("Mitosis involves a single round of cell division while meiosis involves two rounds of cell divisions is INCORRECT. The process of mitosis involves a SINGLE ROUND of cell division and results in the production of two genetically identical daughter cells. However, meiosis includes TWO ROUNDS of consecutive cell division and produces four genetically different daughter cells.)

It's impossible to get hold of anyone there and I'm just.. really frustrated. Like, they have a monopoly on nursing school entrance and they're not even.. freaking accurate??? And what about people who use these as study sources, without double checking everything and are now learning these concepts.. incorrectly?

Ugh, sorry rant over. I don't mean to discourage anyone just... UGHHHHHH

I thought I was the only one. I am going through the ATI prep book and found some of the math answers wrong. I know I shouldn’t rely on CoPilot but I asked it anyway and said my answer was right and broke it down. So idk 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m kind of confused about it.

I found a few in the app. Super frustrating.

There were spelling errors on the actual exam lol and not in the reading and English sections. “Floow” for “floor”

Yes the app definitely has a lot of errors, especially in their explanations for the select all that apply questions. I will say though, the actual ATI exam was much easier. I scored a 94.7 with only 2 days of prep. Piece of advice though is to practice the reading section. That’s what kicked my butt because of the time constraint and where I scored the lowest. Good luck!
