in my test I used AU for Poland and it was marked as an error. So then I listened to the disucssion by Jacqueline Dorion (FrenchByPhone) and of countries Poland was listed feminine under the AU column. Question: why was my answer AU marked incorrect and the correct answer was suppose to be EN.???
Feminine countries use AU and Masculin countries use EN

Feminine countries use AU and Masculin countries use EN
This question relates to:French lesson "En/au/aux = In/to with countries and continents (French Prepositions)"

The heading of your question has the grammar reversed.
‘en’ is used with feminine countries - la Pologne, therefore en Pologne. Having had a quick look at a video on countries on the site Frenchbyphone, it is also definitely correctly identified as feminine, as expected that it would be. You appear to have mislearned this section on both sites, and should revisit the lessons.
