Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

Still laughing....
at 'are they flexible' and 'sit for 8 hours day'. Oh my!
Laughing here
You said I would love to QA you stuff myself. I just love it. You probably just need to stick with whatever else you are trying to do.
cant stop laughing

Look for lawsuits. Like we need someone laughing at us.

I am laughing so hard here...
Don't let someone make money off of our sweat and tears, when we could be making that money ourselves. TTD can go fly a kite for sure! 
Where DID you come from? You have me laughing myself silly!
Love the comparison with MQ and MDI-MD...
Not even close - laughing
I am just one who has been trying to offer 'food for thought' posts, that's all.
I'm sorry, laughing so hard
I can't type this.
I can't stop laughing! Nice one! nm

I'm crying over here laughing so hard

Rolling on the floor laughing .... nm

Done psych and almost died laughing
at the reports we would get. It was adult/adolescent drug and psych wards. I loved it, thought easy and not boring. Remember the time the man kept complaining about his neck hurting. Went to 1 doctor after the other, no help, no one listening. He finally had enough and got a noose, got a chair and decided to hang himself and end it all. He jumped off, popped his neck and guess what, sorta like a chiropracter, solved his problem and he was a happy man. Just 1 of the many.
when you are finished laughing, pls read
I strongly disagree with you. To say all MTs are highly skilled is to demean the whole group. There are roughly -- very roughly -- two categories of MTs. There are those who do it because they can stay home and breed their chihuahas and herd their babies. Then there are those who absolutely love the field of medicine and work for that reason. I began in-house and never dreamed that I would eventually work from home. The MTs who are willing to research Hiszysrinksigo's syndrome instead of blanking it SHOULD be paid more per line than the puppie brokers.
I am laughing at there is always work on second and third shifts. If you say so.
Go on with the bashing. Im prepared.
If I could only figure it out...stop laughing...LOL

I don't see ONE single post where anyone is laughing at the SM
MT who is owed the money. NOT ONE. We are laughing at the so-called friend who comes on here insulting and bashing anyone who *dares* to ask a question about the situation and who stoops as low as to insult people about anything from their screen name (which is really mature) or saying they are in a 12-step program or calling people insecure just because of their screen name. THAT is what we are laughing at. I would think that was quite obvious...
Fell off my chair laughing so much at that!
Thanks for the laughter. Hahahahahahaha....
While you are laughing, that might not be a good thing because
I thought I was reading up at the top of this that the pay for VR at TT was 3.5 which is even less than what this person is making. I think at 3.5 or less folks are really going to be unhappy.
Losing ANY job is no laughing matter
.
sick and on treatment and they were laughing?
honestly, one day these people will get their due.. unreal that people can laugh at someone's misfortune, an employee no less. Tacky and sad.
CrankyBeach, how can I be laughing even as my BP rises?
I've of course had the insurance company experience with an illness of our own, so your too-vibrant description of doing it all day has my stress level leaping even as I relax waiting for my smothered chicken to finish. Never on this earth. Maybe in the afterlife if I'm very bad.
Hey, stewed, laughing as I read this one
A gourdboard, who would have thought that 1 up!!
Rolling on floor laughing my butt off.

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.
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
I just took the test today - thought it was a great test of MT skills.

There is no written test. Must have been a different company. I took their ortho test sm
and it was easy. You had to know your terminology but it was easy to understand AND I used my foot pedal.
Is the test through mttest.com a timed test? Thanks. nm
MQ Test
How long does it take MedQuist to get back to applicants once they have completed the test?? It has been a week for me now and have heard nothing. Is that good or bad???? TIA
What are they asking you to do? What is the test?
MTStars? Maybe there are some posts that may tell you something.
Took their test once.
Short ER test. Easy as it gets. They claimed I didn't pass their test and was therefore unqualified to work for them.
After doing MT for 10+ years at some of the top medical centers in the country (including currently) and ERs for 3+ years, it was obvious they were screwed up pretty bad.

try windows media thats what i had to do

Has anyone taken a test using
on MT Test are using Cscribe. I think it stinks, but maybe a foot pedal would help. Thanks.
I did a test for them.........sm
I did a test file for this company. I never heard back from them. The lady said they required 98% to pass. I know I didn't get 98% because I had to rush through the fairly large test file, and I was working for MQ. With my job at MQ there were some strange requirements that I carried into those reports without time to check the BOS. However, after working about 4 hours on the test file they never even had the courtesy to reply. I do not think that this is professional, JMO.

I took their test.
I did AWFUL. I'm not sure why. I've taken dozens of other employer tests and got anywhere from a 96 to a 100 on ALL of them. On Medware's test I got a 43 out of 50, which is basically an 86. I can't understand it!! It didn't seem that difficult, if I recall, and I've done so well on everyone else's test. Needless to say, I didn't get offered a job. LOL!
I did take the test,
but at the time I was offered a position with another company that I decided to take. I have over 25 years of experience in this business. The test is not timed and it is open book. They tell you that at the beginning. You may think it is over the top, and that may be true; however, they may be wanting to see just how good we (as MTs) are at doing research and such. I'm not saying I agree with the test, I'm just saying that each company has their own way of doing things. If you want the job, you have to do what it takes to get it.
Did you take the test?
.
How did you do on the test?
.
So, how did you do on the test?
.
I took their test also.
They told me I didn't pass either. I requested to see what mistakes I made and wanted to know what my test score was, and they never told me even after sending several emails to them asking for this information.
I wanted to see what mistakes I made as I didn't have any problem taking their test at all, and I don't understand it. 
Test???
I haven't had to take a test with them. I applied through the job seekers board here, got a call the next day, offered the job and was told they would be send me the Lanier system and my lead would get in touch with me on Wednesday when she gets back from training on this new account. I hope there isn't a test, I don't like tests, please don't make me take a test, I don't wanna, I don't wanna. LOL.
I never got to take the test but
another poster gave me some very helpful information on who to talk to when I call, which was very much appreciated.
I took the test but not sure it went thru..

DRC test
Yes, it's difficult if you don't have the required experience. No reference books allowed. Tester will also ask you questions which you will have to answer off the top of your head. If you don't know your stuff, it's hard to fake it. Not trying to discourage you from testing -- just being honest with you.
Test.
I agree. Back when we had to fax tests, I would have a job offer on my answering machine by the time I returned home. Not bragging, really not. Been doing this for close to 20 years, better be able to pass tests. On my tests I will transcribe verbatim but point out troubling points. I.E. One time dictated: Spinal cord removed. I put it but put an * and put I hate to type this, but this is what he said. Companies take notice of that.
Look around. Take a test. Get a better job. They are out there.
