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!
    .
    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.
    What's the matter? Didn't pass the test?
    Can't pass a test, you don't get the job.
    I took the Ortho test and didn't have a problem with it..
    maybe it was a different test than your family members but no trouble here...
    They didn't test me; I just had a nice long

    chat with their recruiter.  Very casual and enjoyable.  She is a nice lady, funny, and enthusiastic about transcription.  As far as equipment, if you need a Lanier they will rent it to you.  They sent me a foot pedal for the internet account I occasionally typed, no rent required on that.  I don't know the exact computer requirements but Bayscribe doesn't call for a supercomputer by any means.  Hope I have been helpful.


    I didn't have any trouble with the test after I got used to the fact sm

    that I couldn't use my foot pedal.  The first and the third parts were easy, but I couldn't hear a few spots in the second dictation and had to leave blanks, but I guess that was okay because I apparently passed.


    Maybe give it another try -- don't let the no foot pedal thing spook you. 


     



    I don't know what they wanted to know. I didn't take the test. I felt it was invasion of pr

    I didn't receive a score but the test was hard.

    I'm almost afraid to ask what I got. 


    Honestly, I've been hired by companies that didn't test me.
    I did not like those jobs one bit.  You start out immediately being stressed because they're out of TAT and desperate for people.  The work quality was terrible and I mean worse than any other place I've ever worked.  With your CMT credential, I don't think you'd have a problem finding a decent job.
    Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
    but that was several years ago.  Depends on current recruiters, I guess. 
    Their test didn't involve all that dictation in the past. Wonder why the change? nm

    A company sounds strange because you didn't pass their test? SM
    I LIKE working for a company that puts quality over everything else.
    No, don't feel bad - I didn't pass the editing test, either, to my shock! ;) nm

    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


    I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
    why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.  
    She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
    What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).

    That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
    She didn't say she didn't have a family. A family isn't just kids. sm

    She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better  BECAUSE you have kids?  I am so sick of that attitude.  I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it.  Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time.  I said NO!  Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important.   


    BTW I work part time too. 


    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.

    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.
