That conversation is part of the English Test. That answer was
the false answer. But it sounds OK for me.

AE speakers would possibly consider the answer to be correct, because they often use the past simple tense in this way. BE speakers would say it is very wrong and would reply "I haven't looked at it yet", using the present perfect tense.
