- you shouldn't be an MT. They were very BASIC questions that you learn in Transcription 101.

I got 100% on the phone interview, and thought the on-line test was easy, but they still didn't h

Test Was Easy
BUT if you don't have years of experience you won't be hired by them.
I believe this. I had taken their test, which was as far as I am concerned, EASY, yet...
They told me I didnt pass. I didnt even think it was possible to fail that easy of a test but the other poster may have had a point.
All I know is I took the test, I thought it was very easy
and I failed. I was hoping to find out what I had done wrong. In any event, I'm testing with other companies that transcribe general and legal to get some variety.
Test was really fairly easy. (sm)
I expected there to be some really difficult accents, but they weren't.
Good luck.
easy, typed test reports
no ESLs, typed 2 test reports in under 10 minutes, these are just cysts, skin pathology.
I thought the written was fairly easy. The typing test (sm)
was difficult for me because the specialties I was tested on were different than what I'd been working on, plus new docs that I wasn't dialed-in to, yet. Also, since the test is on a temporary platform (Express Scribe) I couldn't slow it down, and one doc was pretty fast. STILL, because of that fact I was allowed to take my time, so I looked up every term I wasn't 100% familiar with, and proofread several times. The hospital I was testing on was a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so that meant lots of new drugs & procedures; thank goodness for the Internet! Although we are paid on production, QUALITY is the most important thing. I do a lot more proofreading than I did at my previous job, and as a result I often work longer hours to make my line count, but I can break up my day any way I need to, so I'm not chained to my desk. As a result I feel a lot more relaxed than I used to, and my blood pressure has gone down, as well.
Took what I thought was an easy test but no response. Sounds like we're not missing much though.
I agree with the other poster. Where are all the decent companies at?
It's easy, tho my tech support didn't know how
I got instructions on how to do this from productivitytalk. Basically you save your expansion file (the one you have to back up from time to time on DQS) as a text file, and then when you get your new program set up, you can import it. At least, that's how it worked for me.
As for hours and lines, the company I moved to in the fall lets you work as much as you want, but currently there's so little work it's hard to even get the minimum in. Once again, tho, that's just my experience.
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!
.
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.
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
nm
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
nm
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!
x
Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using
s
I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)
.
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.
x
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.
It's just not easy to do for most of us. nm

Does anyone else think it is just as easy to go to a different
company as it is to learn new account at the same time you are learning a new platform that has a lot of problems?
easy to put an end to it all
Doesn't matter if QT says they are not closing or not selling, it is all in what the account decides what will force the hand. You have one big account, lose one big account, you do the math.
It's VERY easy
All that you do is hit F6 and it brings up all of the old report. As far as I can tell, they go back about a year.
easy as pie
Super easy and I find it super fast. Check out www.escription.com
I cannot tell you how easy it is to get someone's SS#
and have a grand time with it! Try explaining it to the hospitals that want to outsource to certain national companies that don't do a background check on employees or that the threat to take SS# just by when doctors dictate them is easy - can you imagine how easy it is for the offshore companies to do it. If I can do it in the states working for a national company, imagine what the offshore companies can do!
