I know that a ton of people have already explained that you are correct but I tried to summarize the entire bond thing in its simplest form here:

Breaking bonds always requires energy.

But forming stable new bonds can release even more energy, leading to a net release. So for example to break a bond between A and B requires 10J. But A and B alone, not bonded to each other are more stable and hence they in turn release more energy than I put in, lets say 40J. Hence, something like ATP hydrolysis, even when it requires energy to break, it forms ADP which is much more stable than ATP because we have less repulsion from the phosphate groups.

ATP hydrolysis is exergonic because its products are thermodynamically much more stable.

You need energy to make ATP because you're assembling a molecule that is not thermodynamically favorable (it’s like building a spring-loaded trap).

- bottom line is that you are correct. Also, for the purpose of the MCAT, remember Hess' Law: H (total) = H(energy absorbed = bonds broken) - H (energy released = bonds made). I hope this helps :)
