The company asked me to take it through mttest. I'm beginning to think it was the new rules I'm not aware of!

The mttest
was designed by Career Step. If you didn't graduate from their program, I think you are at a disadvantage taking the test.

mttest asking SSN after screening
x

I've done mttest for quite a few companies,
but none have ever asked for SSN at the end. I would either leave it blank, or send a message to tech support listed at the bottom, asking what you could put in there to make it go through, but that is too private to put over the net, when you don't know what they're doing with that after a test. It's not an offer, it's a test. They don't need your SSN.

Trish, I like you but I totally disagree that MTTest is the best
way to find a good MT. I know as fact my way works and it does not waste hours of a person's time. I get good people because I know what to ask and how to screen people. If more recruiters knew how to do it, they would not have to waste all that time too

That mttest website is terrible. Companies that use that test in my opinion
are just lazy. They need to make up their own test based on their own rules. Much on that test also is about commas and the newer rules are that we don't use that many of them so you could fail over things that just are not that important. Don't sweat it! If they based hiring you on that test site, then the co is not too bright. I have taken the test and passed but I think it is a horrible test for anyone. I think a better way of testing is testing someone's actual knowledge of medical terminology like a phone test. That also guarantees to a company that it is actually you taking the test. I think it is Spheris that has given a phone test ever since they were Edix and the old Your Office Genie also gave a phone test. That speaks wonders of what is in your head.

Anytime I've tested, it's always been the same test on mttest.com, or careerstep. See if you c
