I have not heard anything as of yet, am I safe to assume that they don't want me on their team? This is a company that runs ads just about every week. However, I have not seen an ad this week yet.

I hear you. I just tested for what I thought was a decent company....
After a ridiculously involved screening, passing all, and with more than 10 years exp, I was offered 7.5 to do operative reports! (and did I mention I also said I could work weekends!) Are they kidding?!?!
I tested and did not pass and tested again 6 months later and passed. I think that more and more s
companies are testing MTs for various reasons.
You say that you work for them and keep posting. Why do you stay if you are so unhappy? I love my account and lead but it seems that you do not like being at KS at all.
Different strokes for different folks. Why continuously post compaints without doing anything about it?
Sent it Sunday (by fax) then (sm)
immediately got e-mail asking to fill out questionnaire, did that on Sunday too..then haven't heard, am I just not patient enough? Thanks! I really want to talk with them, but don't want to bug them either. Thanks for the info!
She was my coordinator....She was there as of Sunday...
thanking us all for the hard work with TAT! I had my last day thank goodness, my head was spinning from the revolving door of ACs, TLs, etc!
It is Sunday, my brain's day off.

Sunday and Monday
I'm not on the schedule with any of them on Sunday, Monday I only work for one of them. I took the third job because it's a specialty I like and want to do more of. I'm trying to decide which direction to go in - certainly don't want to work this much indefinitely.
I don't care if it is 3 am Sunday morning, get up and
VR - next month starts Sunday
VR is a reality beginning Sunday. It is no longer a rumor.
Since yesterday was Sunday, DD would have gone through this morning
If payday falls on a weekend or a holiday, then direct deposit will go through the next business day. Mine was in my bank account last night around midnight.
I work both Saturday and Sunday...
every single weekend. I have for many years. I have 1 child at home. How do I do it? I just do it. I do a lot of things in life that aren't easy, but I get by. I knew when I became an MT that I was entering the medical field, which does, contrary to what some people may believe, operate on a 24/7/365 schedule in most instances. People do get sick/injured on weekends. If you aren't satisfied with working weekends, your best bet is to find clinic work. Then, your only complaint may be the pay, which is generally lower than acute care because the work is considered easier. Oh, well, I guess you can't win.
Current payperiod ends this Sunday 8/26...sm
Payday is 9/3 (but believe that is the holiday so not sure how that works). Pay is every other week on Mondays, so the following PP will be paid on 9/17. PPs run Mon-Sun. HTH
I received the test files Sunday
The dictator is extremely fast and mumbles. Not worth it in my opinion. I emailed her back and politely declined after listening to the files.
under new hire plan, Saturday/Sunday all day, 1cent more
nm
I work 2nd shift, and I ran out last night -- never has happened on a Sunday. nm
The post was made on a Sunday night -- no one in the office really to ask then. sm
And it seemed a harmless question. He/she wasn't really asking a policy question ... just a general question regarding when the payday is. Most companies that I have worked for, if the payday is over a weekend, they pay on Friday. Unfortunately, that is not the case here, but at least they are upfront about it, and it says so in the paperwork somewhere.
yes, you have a certain amount to turn in by Sunday night at midnight, but you can try and type it
all that Friday.
I tested
I tested, passed and so on, but by the time they called me it was 3 weeks later and I had already taken another job. They just seem a little slow to respond.
You must have tested with JLG
I tested with them too.
The test tape was definitely horrible, and actually isn't a fair way to test new MTs for any account. I had 2-3 blanks left in the end. All they told me about my results was that they were below their levels for employment.
I asked to see what mistakes I made and asked what my actual score on the test was, and they never got back to me with any results after I emailed them several times about it.
The test itself consisted of 20 questions and 10 reports to type. Who would think 2-3 blanks out of all of that would result in a no hire. I guess you have to be able to do that tape without any blanks or questions at all in order to pass and get a job with them.
Has anyone here ever tested for or
Just curious. TIA
I tested the other day too. sm
I talked to Amy, the VP, yesterday and she said that she had about 5 or 6 MTs who had submitted tests and she had sent them to her lead MT to be graded. She said that hiring as a priority so it wouldn't be too long before we hear anything.
I tested with them. sm
They offered me a job, 2nd and 3rd shift only, but never told me what they were offering as far as pay. When I asked her, she said that the first 2 weeks were 12.00 an hour and then after that your cpl pay would be based on speed and accuracy. It sounded like a trap to me. I wouldn't go with them if I were you. You could waste all that time training with them and then they could tell you that your speed and accuracy aren't up to par and only pay you 5 cpl.
Tested with them
I have not worked for them, but I tested for them. The test job I did was about 50 65-character lines long and at the per page rate they were offering it came out to 4 cents per line. Don't know if all the jobs would have been that long, but I got the feeling they would all be pretty long. For long reports you're better off getting paid by the line. So you've got to be careful in comparing your current pay to what they're offering.
A C-phone is a phone that you dial into a digital dictation system with. It has a footpedal and you can plug a headset in, and you just transcribe while listening to the dictation right over the phone line. It works real well.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Has anyone who tested with
Just curious...... 11 cpl was sounding pretty good. Oh well.... 
It has been a while since I tested and they may have
have changed files, but I didn't have any problem hearing them. Typically companies will put some of their worst dictation as tests, especially if they have a high percentage of ESLs. In the past there was a problem with scoring of the tests and it would mark things wrong that weren't, but I think that is fixed now.
I tested for them . . .
I called first, they told me to do 3.
Sorry, should be I tested with them......
NM
I tested with them
approximately 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing back yet.
Have you tested yet?
I was not able to get the transcription portion of the test to cooperate. It was a blank box when I tried to type and I could not control the volume or speed. Is this typical?
Yes I have tested.
I didn't have that problem. I got an e-mail from them this morning with a preliminary interview form to fill out, and then they would schedule an interview.
I tested with them
I tested with them and never heard anything back, I got a 90% on the test, they said you had to have at least an 80%. When I e-mailed about a job, I never heard back from them. Weird and Rude.
I tested with them,
did great on the test, they asked me what my preferred schedule was, I answered, never heard back.
Sigh.
For those of you who tested for this
I am using my GearPlayer 4 and also have Sound Blaster but have had a very difficult time hearing the testreport1.wav file. The dictator is either turning away from the microphone or whatever he is using to dictate into or is a mumbler...sometimes he comes through loud and clear. I am having to leave too many blanks to do very well on this one. Would like to hear if it is just my old ears, or if everyone else is having a problem hearing this one too. Thanks.
I tested for them
If this is the Sten-Tel from Springfield, Massachusetts, then that is the company I tested for.
They tout how they will send you a detailed analysis of your test--just like you would receive from their QA service. However, I never received anything from them in that regard.
I did get an offer, however. But I did not even consider them because they never sent what they promised. I figured that if they were that sloppy with their testing procedures and broke that promise that they'd be even worse with their employment procedures. It could only get worse.
I tested with Axolotol - sm
At the time I tested I had 16 years experience .... INTENSIVE experience, and I am not tooting my own horn but I rarely make mistakes and I will research a blank to death before I finally give up on it ...and guess what - they told me I didn't have enough experience.
I tested/interviewed with them once, or tried to -
we scheduled a phone conference to discuss the opening they had no less than five times and kept having to reschedule it at the last minute - very irritating.
I tested and aced it, but it still took them
several days to call me. I did not attempt to call them though.
Has anyone tested through mttest.com? Thanks. nm
nm
Has anyone tested with VoiceTranscription and sm
never heard back from them? She does not respond to emails. The test was a very, very easy dictation. TIA
Maybe I just got lucky, but has anyone else tested lately?
When I tested for the company I've been with for nearly 2 years, the transcribing section was absolutely horrid. To this day I still don't have a clue how I passed their testing. Four reports of the worst possible dictation I have ever heard in my career.
Then I test for a few places this week (just in case things don't turn around at my company) and I had 2 reports that were an absolute breeze. One was very, very long, but both were as good as you can possibly get.
I'm just wondering. Is this now part of the recruiting process to make it look as if their accounts were that easy, or did I just get plain lucky?
Anybody who didn't know any better would know that this is definitely not the norm.
Just a thought.
Would also like info as I tested before....sm
sent it back to the e-mail they requested, and never heard another word from them, no web address, no contact info....thought this was pretty strange, but now that I see they are hiring again, I think it's time to put the word out on this company so anyone with any info, please post! TIA
I tested with them and passed.
I got an e-mail from Cymed congratulating me and they would be in contact but I never heard from them since. That was about a month ago. My advice is if you plan on working for them you keep in touch with them.
I tested with them last week
I took the test a week ago with them. You can either test for Orthopedics or acute care. You have to log into their FTP to get the test files. They also send a word attachment with a fill in the blanks test. I sent my test back to them 7 days ago, and I have not heard a word back. I tried emailing them asking what was going on, and asked if they got my test, but still no response.
I tested for Execuscribe. Does anyone
know how long it takes to get results back?
And what's the difference in a 65-character line and a gross line???
I went ahead and tested.
Thank you for the info 
tested yesterday
I haven't heard anything back from them yet. So far, the experience has been very pleasant. Amy, who I believe is the VP, has been so nice and helpful. She acts like she really wants me to work for her rather than the take it or leave it attitude I have gotten from other people.
This is encouraging because I just tested with them. (nm)

I tested with them months ago.
They never specifically said how I did on their test, which was not medical transcription (in my case) but transcription of a phone conversation (not hard). I know I did well, though. I think you get put into a pool of freelancers and when they have work they contact you. I haven't heard anything since.
Not sure if they are Indian or not. I didn't get that impression but hard to tell sometimes. I know they have different offices around the country.
ANyone tested with Lee Perfect
That was a pretty long test, would hate to not hear anything back.
No, but I tested for them last week.. sm
Completed the test, but never heard back as to whether it was rec'd, results, or if pos'n was still available. I'm curious about them, too.
Seems a bit harsh. Obviously, since others have tested with no sm
problem, must be your issue. As I recall, the instructions say to call or email if you have any problems. Perhaps it is you who should READ.
