Big problem in afterboards sectional tests

Okay so this is my esentially the third post after the one i made yesterday about the influx of wrong questions in Afterboards Va sectionals and another one i made about 2 wrong questions i got in a Aftbs QASA sectional.

So let’s take this Va Question that i just attempted today,
I did full scrutiny on this one,
AI, GPT, Gemini, Claude,My english Teacher
Then got to know the correct answer is option no 1 rather than option no 3,
If we take into account the explanation given
By Aftb, then it would mean
“One of the only books that contains” should be correct, which is not

I dont know how Afterboards has invented
A special rule for “One of the only”,

Wrong answer is one thing, but a curated wrong explanation is another.

Mind you, i’ve been a constant supporter of Afterboards

But if i went into the exam with a flawed made up rule,
Who would take accountability?
Even bhavesh bhaiya himself has stressed upon the importance of that one extra question attempted correctly.

I know that a platform cannot be perfect and there are mistakes,
But in my books making a made up rule is not one that should be easily forgiven.

I am enrolled in coaching so i could cross-verify with my teacher and many people,
If someone who uses afterboards as a self-study platform faced this issue, he might go on with the wrong rule.

At this point i should ask for a refund,
As whenever these wrong questions appear in my sectionals it takes up alot of my time cross-verifying these answers and this is not a one time issue, it has happened alot.
I’ve essentially spent 6-7 hours of my prep time as i’ve probably encountered 13-14 wrong questions which I’ll appreciate , all of them got corrected after reporting.

But please Afterboards team look into the issue; as it’s not only me
One of my friends has faced a similar issue in past, even in my last post someone confirmed of the same issue,
Ambiguity might be acceptable but wrong formulation is definitely not.

Disclaimer:- this is more of a emotional post, not much of a review. If you wanna read the review ,skip to the middle part.

So i recently got a chance to spend four days at IIM Banglore for their four day economics and data science bootcamp,
And honestly after coming back home it still every second feels like void,
It’s a place i’d never forget,
Honestly it wasn’t just reaching IIM Banglore,
It was the journey i went through,
From a person scared to travel alone to a confident extrovert,
These four days taught me alot
( i literally wrote a message being devastated to bhavesh bhaiya how am i gonna manage everything alone)
But as he said, everyone is busy focusing on themselves, so no one cares enough about what you do,
Honestly from waking up, 9 to 5am classes, surviving on 2 hours sleep, sitting at Mitti cafe 2am in the night, talking to MBA folks,
Meeting new people,
I miss all of that.
Even though it was just four days, It felt like IIM banglore became my place, somewhere where i belong.

Soo, comin to the review,
The programme was amazing,
The food was pretty nice, MBA faculty taught us( not the new UG ones), we had lectures on game theory, price elasticity, data science,
Honestly all the economics was just what we’ve done it in class 11th (except game theory) but the Data science lectures was genuinely very very good, we actually conducted a real survey (my team did something on mental health) and used it to find and analyse problems.

So the big question
Worth 20k?
Definitely a big yes!
The kind of exposure you get there, it’s amazing!
If you’re in class 12th,
You’ve gotta go!(Thank me later)
Well i spent around (47-48k) 20k on flights 20k programme fees, 3k on cabs + miscellaneous expenses.
I wouldn’t honestly recommend spending that much, but i don’t regret it for a second.
The memories i made, the sleepless nights,
Getting over my social anxiety and most of all coming out as a whole different person.
I think even though it was just four days,
It was something i can never forget,
Travelling alone for the first time, meeting so many people, almost passing out in the hot weather, lol
I’m gonna remember all of that.

I’ll just end by saying,
Take chances, opportunities won’t come to you, you’ll have to chase them and grab them.
I was scared of travelling alone, but i got our of my comfort zone and did.
I’ll always be proud of myself for that.

I’m currently attending a four day summer camp at IIM Bangalore, and it’s honestly been a really great experience so far. The sessions are actually being conducted by MBA faculty, not some new or temporary team like people were saying earlier. As part of the programme, we’re working on a data science project where we need real responses. I also used AI to help write this post, so here’s the disclaimer. We’ve created a short anonymous form that takes less than a minute to fill out, so it’s very quick. It would really help if you could take a moment to complete it. Your input makes our project more accurate and meaningful.
