Well, did you tell them you got thrown off and didn't even get to take the test?

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

Being able to do anything thrown at you
has hurt me with 2 MTSOs in the past. What ends up happening is that because I *can* do anything and have the attitude to be willing to do anything, when someone else *won't* do what is needed, I get pulled off my regular work to do what no one else will do. This can do several things. It can decrease my line count because I get no samples and have to slow down to nail every word to create a normal for several MDs on reports I can do but haven't done in a while. This decreases my productivity and my income. After I do this good samaritan act, I find out they only wanted me to do that because they needed templates to send out to all the MTs so anyone else can do them....all at the request of the hospital because the hospital asked for me to do this as they felt my work was so much better than what they got from anyone else. Now I feel ripped out because if I had known I was making normals for the entire account, I would have not made them available to the MTSO without negogiating a fair price for my product.
That underhandedness makes me feel disillusioned and eventually causes me to leave.
JMHO
Which will probably be thrown out
Nothing that GP said was slanderous in any way. Of course, there is still the expense of retaining a lawyer, etc., but I highly doubt this case will stand. It is a scare tactic and they need to be met head on.
Yes, I have thrown in the towel already - sm
Been an MT for nearly 11 years. Though I love the work and am good at it, I cannot stomach the fact that I make a little less every year due to no pay increases and threats of even reduced line rates for the same amount of work. What other career do you know where the pay actually goes down every year due to no cost of living increases? Time for some change for me.
You are the only one that has thrown that number out there, no one else
You my dear are lacking. I never said I did that much an hour. I said for a half hour it was 446 and then I got straight and stuck with that crap. I love VR, type fast but I don’t have to work now, unlike years past. This is just my chump change, as someone called it below.
I got thrown out, lost my connection
called my team leader, who was very nice, and never got back in. 3 hours ago, still have not heard from IT. I am going to stick it out, though, hoping things will work out.
why the water bucket being thrown on the fire
?
I never got to finish. After it asked me how much I was making, I got thrown off. -nm
.
Puhahaha! I'd probably end up starving to death or gathering enough vegetables being thrown to op
my own produce stand. Thanks for the chuckle. XDDDD
Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

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.

Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
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.

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.
