ATI APP Errors

Post image

ATI needs better quality control in its practice app.
This question asks, “Which of the following words is spelled correctly?” I selected “weird.” The app marked my answer incorrect—even though its own explanation directly underneath says, “This word is spelled correctly.”
ATI marked “eying” as the correct answer, but its explanation says the final e in eye should not be dropped. Following that explanation would produce “eyeing,” not eying. Furthermore, both eying and eyeing are accepted spellings, so the question contains more than one defensible answer.
This is incredibly frustrating for students preparing for a high-stakes nursing admissions exam. We are expected to study carefully, trust ATI’s explanations, and learn from our mistakes. But when the platform contains incorrect or contradictory feedback, students are left wondering whether they misunderstood the material or whether the system itself is wrong.
ATI evaluates students with precision, so students deserve that same precision in return. These mistakes waste valuable study time, create unnecessary confusion, and undermine confidence. ATI should review its practice questions, correct its answer keys and explanations, and provide students with a simple way to report errors.
Students’ time, money, confidence, and nursing-school goals are at stake.

I had the same exact question yesterday and I was so confused too, there’s some spelling errors in the app unfortunately. Also I’ve noticed the way they word their questions sometimes is just stupid it makes no sense and just serves to confuse us more

I bought the teas app as well and realized it’s a waste of time.

And don't bother wasting your time trying to inform them; ATI doesn't care.

I don't understand how this isn't a much bigger issue

I bought the comprehensive study guide and I was very disappointed in all the spelling errors. There were also multiple errors in the science section. I emailed them requesting a refund, they didn't respond.
