Recently purchased study material for exam different than NMCHCE Updated material

I just purchased the AATBS Study material (October 2021) read the notice about the changes to the exam when I visited the NCMHCE website yesterday.  It was the first time I saw the notice and have been to their website several times in the past two months.  I printed and read the new  "Content Outline" and noticed a few changes to the format. My questions are, did AATBS know about this?  If so, Why wasn't I notified by them when I purchased my study materials? And, why was I not given the appropriate study materials that reflected the "new content" of the NCMHCE exam? Also, how would an examinee have a year to prepare when the new test is supposed to come out early 2022?  The mock questions I received are under the old format.  What gives?  Anyone else in the same boat?
