WebMedEx testing

I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions regarding their testing. I took their test a few years ago and passed the multiple choice but not the transcription. There was so much static and distortion on the voice files I couldn't hear well and even though I left proper blanks, I didn't pass. Does anyone have any ideas as to why they don't provide better voice files and how I can overcome this? Thanks to all for any suggestions.

Pros and cons please.
Those of you at Webmedex now, how is it going? (sm)
Have been thinking about this company for a while and kind of watching to see when they are hiring again. Do you stay in work pretty regularly? I know fluctuations happen anywhere. DO you wind up with a good amount of LPH on their platform: Wanting out of the MQ game and don't want to jump into another fire.
Any info appreciated. E-mail if you wish.
TIA
Webmedex
Do you know what kind of platform they use, line pay, etc?

Have you tried Keystrokes or Webmedex?
I have worked for both of these companies and was very happy with both. I also had health insurance through both. For your sake, please try to get a main job with health insurance. You can always keep a side gig or two as well.

Don't know how much this will help you, but I almost went with them some time ago, everything sounded great - until I questioned what happens when work runs out...would there be a secondary account? I was told no, there weren't enough, and I would be expected to do acute care, etc....I declined. You may wish to question them further if you have issues regarding this. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Does webmedex hire clinic trans?
just wondering
Can't speak about Webmedex, but I love keystrokes.. sm
Best company by far that I have ever worked for. Steady work, good line counts, good specs, fair QA, on-time pay.
How big is Transheath and now does this make Webmedex bigger than MQ? nm
Webmedex pays 6 holidays for ft employee status.

Webmedex is a great company but their platform is terrible.
That is the reason I left. Too many screens to enter simple imformation and too slow switching between screens. Platform is such a big part of our production.
Any companies offering benefits on 35 hrs per week or less except Webmedex? Nm
Anyone willing to share Axolotl, Keystrokes, Transtech & Webmedex cpl range?
Looking... Thanks!
Webmedex or Medware? Which would you choose in terms of benefits, specifically medical ins costs.
Any know what the difference is with these companies in terms of pay and what the preminums are for family medical insurance?
Testing
Chronicle Transcripts will wave testing based upon a person's years of experience and good references.
Testing
Can anyone tell me of any companies that do only written and/or verbal testing? Thanks a lot.
job testing
When I tested (within the last 3 months), I did three reports from three different MDs. There were blanks somewhere in each of them. Not many, but I did have to leave blanks. And yes, I got the job. So cheer up! I think they expect the blanks. Better to leave blanks than make up something you're not really sure you heard.
TH testing
Would you mind sharing what the oral test is like?? TIA!
Just keep on testing.
Don't be discouraged. The more you test, the better you will become at it and it will desensitize you to the stress. I wish you the best!
What about testing? Did they get
back to you and offer you the job prior to testing based only on your resume? Thanks.

I went through some additional training to get on with the company I am with, and the voice files were 10x harder than those I work with every day -- you need to find out from these companies if their work is like the voice test files or not. It is my understanding that there also 3 categories, easy, medium, and hard dictators -- and that determines my pay scale.
testing
I believe I took a written test only, if even that (I only remember filling out application and sending my resume, but that was to old recruiter for KS) and I KNOW I did not take a verbal. I've only taken a verbal with one company I applied with, and that was odd. I believe the heaviest weight for this job was my interview with the Lead. I did the same as you - took it on PT. I've already been offered FT, but I'm not ready to do that yet. Give it a whirl ... you'll like it, I'm sure.
re: testing
I just took their test this morning and I guess misery loves company because I am glad to hear I wasn't the only disgruntled applicant! The sound quality was very poor. They must be looking to hire psychics...I prefer it when they try to stump you with obscure terminology.
testing
What companies?
testing
I graduated in November from PCDI and had no problem finding people to test me. I am not disagreeing about PCDI being a less-than-average school, but she is 3/4 through it already, and it can be done.
testing
What companies did you find that were willing to test PCDI grads?
Maybe testing is new
I have been with Keystrokes for almost 2 years on an account that I love. I never tested when I started. Maybe it is something they have recently implemented.
testing
I refuse to test. I have 7 year experience. I send them a sample of my best work, maybe a H and P by a pakistan dictator. It is insulting to be tested. Dustin Hoffman doesn't test for parts why should I test for a danged typing job.
Testing
I recently tested for an in-house hospital position and the supervisor told me up front the dictator was American, and she saw no point in testing on a heavy ESL dictator since it really would not tell her much about my base of knowledge or interpretation skills. The file she did give me though had a lot of tricky phrases and common-sounding words that an MT with lack of experience would have a problem with. It was by far the best testing philosophy I had ever been exposed to. In other words, a supervisor who actually gets it.
testing
HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Applied for a TRANSCRIPTION job, not a QA job. In the testing she sent four jobs that need to be edited and they don't have voice files to go with them, just read them and edit them.
Maybe I am wrong, but I sent them back to her. IMO if you are testing for a transcription job you are testing on your skills of typing, not editing.
correct me if you think i am way out of line
Testing
I tested also and sent my tests back on 02/14/07. I just assumed may be they had filling their positions? Not sure at this point.
Testing
Is there both a written and transcription test? If so, do you think they are difficult?
Testing?
I have been out of the loop for many years when it comes to applying for a job. Can anyone please tell me what to expect as far as testing when it comes to applying with any transcription companies. I need to leave the Q in the worst kind of way before this company drives me totally crazy! Thanks for your help.
Testing
When I worked for MQ a few years back, their pedal worked with Express Scribe. (free download) or if you have USB pedal such as an Infiniti, use it with Express Scribe.
testing
Yes, I agree. I totally ask how much they pay before hand. I have never run into any problems. Why spend so much time testing to get told you will be paid 4cpl!
Testing
Their testing is hard to pass!!!
testing
Phoenix will be glad to test you at anytime. We receive 100's of resumes a week and all applicants who have the experience necessary are replied to. If you did not receive the testing information, just email hr@phoenixmedcom.com and we will be happy to send you the testing information. Some emails are returned as undeliverable as well, so there is nothing that can be done about this.
Testing
On their site, there's a link to click to take the test. Be prepared to spend 45 minutes to over an hour. There are multiple choice questions and transcribing. I went ahead and did it today just to get it out of the way if they do call.
Testing.
I am recently going through this testing process and what is send my resume with a note asking them if they could tell me what their pay scale is before I do the testing. That way, if they are only going to give you 7 cpl and it is unacceptable to you, you haven't wasted all your time doing the tedious testing. Also, 3 or 4 companies I applied do actually didn't even have me do the testing, saw my experience, talked with me on the phone, and offered me the position! Good Luck!
on the testing, but
They have a tier'd pay rate on production and 3 different sets based on employee with insurance, employee without insurance, and IC.
like 6 cpl to 7 cpl for up to 3000 lines, a bit more for up to 6000 lines, and a bit more for all lines over 6000.. 8-9.5 perhaps. No shift differential, no weekend pay. No holiday pay.
testing
I will check to see if the test has come through. I don't remember asking anyone to take the test, but I will sure check on it for you!
testing with them
I'm testing with them now and I think that she said DocQscribe. I'm not familiar with it unfortunately.
Quig
Right you are, Testing MT! An MT must know sm
the standards as determined by BOS, and should make note on the test that s/he followed BOS guidelines for the test. That would be a clue to the testing company that the MT just might know his/her stuff.
testing
I downloaded the test dictation on express scribe and used my footpedal. Not too bad.
Testing for MD-IT.
Hi!! Kind of discouraged right now. I just took testing for MD-IT, which was very easy and I know I Ace'd it. In fact I don't think I made one mistake in all the test files, but this morning they said that my testing did not qualify me for a position with their company. I don't understand why they take applicants and go to all the trouble of testing if they really do not have any positions open. Anybody else have this kind of experience with companies or test for companies and then never hear anything for weeks.
I think this is very inconsiderate and unprofessional too. We are people with feelings and to be treated this badly is just not right.
testing
 I TESTED FOR MRC AND AFTER TWO WEEKS, THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME. I FINALLY GOT MAD AND SENT THEM AN E-MAIL... TOLD ME I DID NOT PASS (25+ YEARS EXPERIENCE AND 98% QA AUDIT).... HOW UNPROFESSIONAL IS THAT ? MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION SEEMS TO BE GOING TO THE DOGS.
Testing
I also have 20+ years exp and although I did not take a test for Focus, I have failed other tests. Only, however, when it is involved with Career Step - (In the end telling you that you should sign up with them.) I know darn well that I passed those tests and I have been looking on the internet to see if anyone else had that problem. I don't think it has anything to dow with the employer (but it is the testing agency) who is separate from the employer and somehow with Career Step. I think it is unfair and basically rigged.
