Assessment Answers are sometimes correct and other times incorrect - this is a discrepancy

I have been completing the assessment for the automation explorer (associate course) and I noticed that the answers I provided are correct but once I submit my answers they are showing incorrect. Please advise:

  1. Which of the following UiPath capabilities/methods has 100% compatibility with Chrome and Edge browsers?

a) SendWindowMessages
b) Background Execution
c) Simulate Type/Click
d) ChromiumAPI

My answer was ChromiumAPI however, this was indicated as wrong.

  1. What is the expected outcome if an Excel file is opened while a UiPath automation that uses Workbook activities is running?

a) The automation will continue to run without any issues .
b) The automation will pause until the Excel file is closed.
c) The automation will fail and throw an error.
d) The automation will delete the opened Excel file.

My answer is the automation will continue to run without any issues but this was catagorized as wrong as well.

Which activity among the following has a MaxIterations property?

a) If
b) Switch
c) For Each
d) While

my answer was For Each (i have also answered While in a previous assessment and it was also wrong) and that was incorrect however, I did find in the course a similar question and i have screenshotted the answers provided in the course below. Can you please explain how the assessment question is to hold 1 answer when both are clearly correct according to the course?

I have found many discrepancies within the course and the answers to questions but here are a few that I have explained above. Please provide explanations to these.

Thanks,

Ouch.

I think some of these, at least, are legacy questions that are now different.
For example in the classic Excel activities it would indeed throw an error when the workbook was already open and you tried to run the automation, but the modern ones, which have been around for something like 5 years and are the norm now for any new users don’t have that issue.

Its possible the same was true for the do while activity, where in the past it didnt have max iterations but its been added.

Its an unfortunate truth that the academy material is often out of date the week after its published, these seem to be quite out of date if so.

Its also a bad feedback cycle, which we have raised before, since it just tells you that you are wrong and doesnt tell you the correct answer or give you a good way to find the correct one, resulting in frustration as you just do the entire assessment again and use trial and error,
