Never notified about test results

It took forever to get the testing materials through the mail, and the instructions that came with it had several typo's! Never received test results. When I asked via email about the test, they said that person had been out of town and would get with me in a few days - that was in January. Needless to say I'm not terribly impressed...

Waiting for test results...
Their base pay for ER work was 8 cents plus 1/2 cents for 2nd shift I think, 1 cents for weekends, something like that. I know I was banking on 8-1/2 for ER work.
I am pretty sure that they will send the test results
to you if you ask. I had one stop me at the second section of a test. When I asked what I did wrong, they were more than happy to send me a copy of it. The proof for me was in seeing what happened......
Have you notified....sm
the trainer, team lead or regional manager of whatever problems you're having? They can often either give you the solution or followup with tech support for you.
Was notified my cpl rate was going down
We were notified that they were correlating our survey info (sm)
and hope to have a new plan out to promote retention and happiness. Last letter we got stated that it was taking longer than anticipated. This was maybe a month or so ago. Not sure exactly what will be effected, just hoping for the best.
work for same company, i wasn't notified though. nm
i had no clue til no deposit came in! i do have auto pymts drafted and i hope they don't hit til my deposit does monday. not submitted in time isn't our fault, no excuse. they could have overnighted it to us via fedex priority if they knew it wasn't going to be deposited in time and sounds like they knew in enough advance to do that.
They are probably only given the results
to discuss. You would need to contact your supervisor for clarification.
Different results
People are usually pretty darned interested when I bring it up.
They will when a lawsuit results from it and
In their wallets. Publicize the name of the hospital SOMEHOW, because I personally would NEVER go to be treated in an institution run by those kinds of physicians.
Exactly! And I did request results...
of my testing or a more definitive answer and received no reply. I learn new things every day--sometimes things that I have been doing incorrectly. If it was, indeed, a timed test...I was screwed because I checked EVERYTHING. I have even submitted a copy of what I typed (Yes, I copied and pasted to a Word document) to my current supervisor and asked her to point out my errors. She found none and I feel better:)
I had the same results. I even did a search for the
entire state of Florida and absolutely nothing returned. To me it is very concerning that they do not list a website or a phone number.
Before I apply, I have a few questions. I have better results asking here than the companies. sm
I do know to take it all with a grain of salt. Here are my questions:
Do they send work offshore?
IC or employee?
Line rate range for radiology?
Is there a lot of work.
Only one rad account worries me, especially as I heard that they are competing for this account with a large company. I cannot find out who that company is though, only that they are large. The person I know at the hospital that I asked did not have any name except QT, but she said that the other company is very strong and may end up with it.
This is so unsettling. I am totally confused and just wish things would stay the same :) Sigh.
No, you're in the year 2008, where the results of
most kids being raised in daycare with 2 parents working 24/7 are showing. Kids are a mess and the American family is a total mess, divorce rates 50%, our country going down the tubes, and YES a lot of it has to do with kids being left on their own while mommy works and goes to school, etc. I don't know the answer, but for sure the results being disastrous are evident all around you. I stayed home with mine and am more than pleased with the results. Just because children survive and grow into adults does not mean that they are healthy and happy adults.
Very disturbing research results on Transcend
It seems Transcend is very busy acquiring MTSOs and not bashful about their future goals. Please read what I copied from a recent article when they acquired TRS(March 2009). Between VR and offshoring, I truly do not see how much work will be left.
“We are excited to welcome TRS to the Transcend team,” stated Transcend CEO Larry Gerdes. “We
believe their commitment to their customers and employees makes them an excellent fit for Transcend.
TRS has taken a leadership role in our industry through its involvement with industry associations like the
Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and the Medical Transcription Industry
Association (MTIA). We look forward to continuing to play an important industry role with their
involvement. TRS provides services on several different platforms. We believe that over the next year,
35% - 50% of the business can be migrated to our BeyondTXT platform, which allows us to leverage our
speech recognition technology to improve productivity, enhance quality and drive faster turnaround times.
We look forward to working together as we integrate our operations over the next several months.”
“We believe our merger with Transcend is a positive step into the future for our customers and
employees,” stated TRS CEO Bob Harvey. “Transcend has an un-paralleled reputation for excellent
service. This gives our customers confidence that our teams will now be supported by the additional
resources of the top-ranked firm in the industry. For the sake of our employees, it was important to me to
merge with a company that has a strong commitment to providing the best work environment in the
medical transcription field, and I know we have found that in Transcend. ”
“Transcend is very interested in the work TRS is doing with overseas transcription training in places like
Barbados,” stated Transcend COO Sue McGrogan. “Although their training institute is not part of this
transaction, Transcend sees real opportunity to use this resource and others to continue to grow our
offshore capacity. Transcend is committed to remaining a predominately domestic transcription provider,
but we will continue to expand our offshore resources as well. We expect that the percentage of work
processed offshore could increase from about 20% today to perhaps 35%-40% in the future. This helps us
staff nights and weekends and gives us added flexibility as we grow. We would never replace a domestic
transcriptionist in the process. In fact, we plan to continue expanding our domestic workforce for years to
come. We hope that TRS Institute can become an offshore partner in the near future.”

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

Along the same lines, has anyone ever left TH and gone back with good results?

Any info on WriteNow Transcription? Did a search, but no results.
Thanks so much.
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.

I did test with them
but I wanted to know more about them like how much work they have.
I would ask. They might be willing to let you test.
nm
which test to take?
They have a number of tests available, h&p, op, etc. I have a variety of experience and don't care where they put me! By taking one particular test am I indicating that's where I want to be placed? I find it a bit confusing! (probably just me, LOL).
LOL. Maybe you got my test and I got yours!!
I applied for a QA job and got a typing/transcription test whereas all other tests I have taken before for QA have been for actual editing of a typed report - very confusing to me also!!
I took their test . . .
I talked to them before I took the test - just do three.
sorry about your test
You will find a better fit and you will be happy you did not take the job. On the other hand, the questions regarding what test you would use are evaluating your indepth knowledge of medical information. An exceptional MT knows more than terminology; she can spot inconsistencies in the report. Those MTs are rare.
I would never test before getting some....
answers. I always e-mail with a few questions first, and they usually respond.
