but that was several years ago.  Depends on current recruiters, I guess.

I bothered taking the test weeks ago and never heard. You would think...
they could at least say either way, hey, you did not pass the test etc... but I never even got that.  I even took someone's advise and followed up by emailing HR and asking them if they could let me know either way but I took the time to do the testing as well as I had been also testing with others and needed to know whether to keep waiting on them or move on. Obviously, I moved on. I find it totally unprofessional to ask someone to take time enough to test and then they cannot even have the common courtesy to tell you that you stink or whatever. I could handle the truth, but to never heard anything, UNPROFESSIONAL. I do wish you great luck and maybe they just only contact those who pass and let the rest of us figure it out on our own.
Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
I applied there, took their test and have not heard anything. I guess I failed. nm

So good to know! I took the test but have not heard back

I don't think I will take the job, but do you know if they even hire ICs?  Just so I know!  TXs


I did apply, heard back, and took the first part of their test. nm

I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
Tested there 10 days ago and never heard a word back..guess I failed! nm

I just heard back that I passed the test and they asked when it was convenient to contact me by phon

I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal.  What can I do about this.
I'm taking the test now. I'm not too sure about this?!?! sm
I saw somewhere where somebody said they got paid every Friday. Somebody else said about once a month. I don't know. Their website looks promising. I'm in the process of getting the test ready to send now. I'm not sure if I'll even finish it.
Test taking
I have just taken a test that must be designed to get into medical school with all of the choose the correct, fill in the blank and give the definition, was sooo..long.... and so intense, and why do we have to take 5 voice tests, don't they understand if you can do one or two, you must know what you are doing? Just tired I guess trying to find a good fit after doing this for 20 years.
Test taking
It was for DR and it was just long and timed too.

I'm in the middle of taking the test myself
and I am so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing significant trouble! I have 10 years' experience, but that is useless when dealing with this quality (or lack thereof) of dictation!
If it is the one I think it is, I started taking the test and -sm
It was the actual doctor that would be the client, and the names of the clients were on the test......!!!!  Can you say HIPAA ?????  I immediately stopped the test and did not even respond to the recuriter.  Definately not right no matter what it is... 
I think taking the test now will speed up the process.

It has  a place for you to submit resume, so they have resume and test together.  If you haven't heard anything in a couple of days call.


Unfortunately, that's very average. And with all your experience, too. Wow. Guess taking it depen

Anyone actually get a callback from taking the test at Keystrokes with their recent ad? sm

If so, how long before you heard from them?  I took the test yesterday and just wondering what to expect.  I think I did relatively well with it...had one blank though...but still pretty good.


 


Thanks.


Is Etransplus worth taking a test which last 1 1/2hrs

Hello,  I am currently working with a company but need to change due to lack of benefits.  Etrans has sent me a couple of emails about joining them, but I wanted to know if anyone works there, is it worth it to take that test for 1 1/2 hours, when I could be transcribing.  Also, what type of accounts do they have and do they have anything that is entirely online and does not need a phone line to dial into a system, would love to drop my $40.00 a month bill for unlimited long distance.


Thank you so much in advance for any info!!


How soon after applying and taking test for Transtech to hear from them? Thanks.
nm
Yikes!! Contemplating taking their test. Any other opinons PLEASE.NM
nm
No, poster knows better; just knows this board is busier and taking a test!
WANTED A QUICK ANSWER
I didn't mean to imply you were not taking it seriously.

Anyone else have problems taking USA Type test? Cant get my comp to play the sound file.
Any suggestions? I really want to take the test but their sound file keeps loading onto my music program, and when I try to load it on Windows Medial Player it tells me I need codecs, so how would I find that to load?
Has everyone heard back from Keystrokes yet regarding the email we received a while back?
Just wandering why I haven't heard any response yet.
Actually, I didn't, but my point is taking out double premiums for insurance sm
and I am glad that you find my distress so amusing.  Perhaps you can go pick some wings off flies too while you're at it.
I sent them an email back in August and never heard back sm
Is this company on Long Island? I checked out their website and even tried calling once. Were you successful in contacting them? All i know is that the company is owned by some doctors.

Hopefully, you will hear back. Unfortunately, I immediately heard back from MD-IT
but somehow with over 16 years of experience, I blew the test.  I was soooo disappoionted and yet pretty stunned.  I am by no means perfect but I haven't flunked a test in years.  I expected it in my early years but not this far down the road. I was so confident and they will not tell you which part you did not pass and why so it really just blew my mind.  I must have been in shock for like two hours after I got the email. Oh well, someone will want me....hopefully.  I was thinking about OSi but I don't think I could take another rejection if I never heard back. 
My guess, your test is either really good or
s
I guess they don't test plural/pleural? nm

I didn't take the test! LOL I had to
deal with her on another issue and it put her in an uncomfortable position. She certainly didn't know how to handle it then and her unprofessional claws came out! LOL


I didn't even test for KS rad
I got a call describing the position, then welcome to Keystrokes. So far there's not enough work, I'm begging for more and worried about tiny paycheck. Reserving opinion about company for now.
I had to test but I didn't think it was too bad...
nm
I didn't have to pay to test. sm
only thing so far that might run people off is that there MTs are overseas.
Sorry. I didn't have to take the test. nm
 
I didn't even get to test, they had an SM
ad, I applied.  I have 15 years of exp., CMT to boot.  Not a peep from them.
I didn't have to test so I'm not sure...wish I could be of more help!
.
Guess you didn't understand it.
Seymour already works there, hence the mention of one of their clients who obviously is heavy ESL, despite the fact that the recruiter advertises no ESLs.   Maybe she means that one particular account, but I can't see placing all new hires on that one account.  Silly me, that's what they do with ALL new hires and that's why they're running out of work all the time until everyone quits and then all the cheerleaders come on the board talking about how much work they have.  Well, duh....could it be cuz nobody's there anymore? 
Oh, guess it is good I didn't then:)
nm
Guess didn't look close enough
Didn't put 2 and 2 together (Jennifer Poole and RC Transcription).  So right.  We deserve more than 5 cpl.  What a rip!  Case closed:(
didn't realize, guess I don't then...NM
nm
I don't think so. I got my test back from them but not from two others. I think it is becoming
common. I was embarrassed when I saw my test and made sure that the next one I took was better.

Why would you think it was Keystrokes? No one mentioned a company. I was thinking of an entirely different company. Just curious.
I guess the real test will be if the adminstrator removes the ad as a scam. They are very good at
looking after us and do try to help us from getting scammed. It also is incredibly sad the because of the state of the our profession when an ad like that does post so many people flock to it. Maybe, it was some kind of sick joke because things like that usually do not exist in our profession. Really gives me a red flag kind of feeling but you never know. Maybe it is a case of a company being started by MTs who have also been where we all are and want to make a difference. We havent' lost our ability to dream, have we??
Well, if you didn't take the test it's your loss...sm
they are still the best company to work for. You obviously didn't take into consideration their quarterly bonus info either.
Well, did you tell them you got thrown off and didn't even get to take the test?
x
Now I'm glad I didn't do so well on the test.
.
I didn't have to test and I can't remember if they
called the same day or the next day. 
I didn't test because rate was low for me, but
Owner was just using AOL for ISP, so I'm betting they don't have their own website. Is it supposedly their site or a testing site such as mttest.com ??

I do know they are a legit company and phone numbers were on emails so maybe you can call and find out what's up with the test. Good luck! I've actually heard it's a decent place, but I couldn't take that much of a drop in pay, unfortunately.
That test was so easy. If you didn't know
 - you shouldn't be an MT.  They were very BASIC questions that you learn in Transcription 101.
Thanks! I was surprised I didn't have to test, but that obviously is okay with me. sm

I have seen many positive posts about the company, and I was impressed by the things I was told by the recruiter.  Thanks again for the welcome!



I didn't fail the test, but... sm
you would not have failed for blanks. In fact, they told me to use blanks if I needed to when I took it because they would not count off for blanks but would surely count off for an incorrect word or guess. I'm sorry you didn't pass, but don't give up. I think you can retest again in 6 months. I happen to think that Webmedx would be worth another testing because it is a good company.
