ATI Study Guide Errors?

Published

Has anyone else studing for the TEAS noticed errors in the ATI study guide? I haven't gotten very far in the book but so far I found 2 practice question answers missing and on one of the practice tests I'm almost positive the answer in the book is incorret.

Anyone else find this?

A resounding YES!!! In fact, I just sent an inquiry to ATI about it. I will let you know what they say to me. I'd love to see if you and I found the same mistakes. Very disturbing!

Yes! I've found more than just a few, and it really annoys me. Some answers to the practice tests/questions are off because they used different numbers while explaining the answer and during a practice test question, two of the answers were the same (and it was the right choice). Those are just two I can think of off the top of my head.

I hope they check the actual test better than they check their study guide.

Was this the version 5 also?

Okay, I got this correspondence from ATI yesterday. You can see my original inquiry after their response:

Yes, when you login under resources you will click on either rn/pn review modules then corrections and then the year and the book name to see the corrections made for that edition.

Subject: Mistakes in ATI Study Materials

Hi. Every once in a while, I find a pretty serious mistake in my study

materials, where a wrong answer is presented as the correct choice. I

was wondering if there is a link on your site that addresses these

specifically, and references the page number and specific questions

and answers that are in need of editing within the specific published

text edition?

Yes I found some too! I forgte about it until I read your post. I also didn't think the study manual was too helpful either but I heard a lot of good things about the practice tests online but I couldn't afford them. The TEAS itself I thought was much easier then the study guide and very little from it was on the test, but I still did well on it. :)

I have noticed these also. I just did some algebraic expression questions that lack an answer... I noticed one or two others, and I'm only on page 102. Ridiculous. I'm going to check the reported errors on the website now. Thanks for the email post.

Edit...I just checked...and I can't get the TEAS errors page to work at all. Every time I click on it, the window pops up and disappears. I've allowed popups on the site. Also tried different browsers. Anyone else having that problem?

I had a good LOL when I saw the Roman Numerals. My book had the Roman Numeral V as equaling 50..lol
