Many people say they fail the test even though it seems easy. nm

IF A COMPANY INVITES YOU TO TEST ON THEIR SITE - DO IT
Whether they have posted a job or not. If your work is being cut to the point you can not tolerate it, heck test on 10 of them!! Pay close attention to the ones that request U.S. MTs only. They are not timed. They are open-book. You are going to learn alot. What have you got to lose? You still don't have to quit your job if you do not want to but please share these companies on this site.

You did not fail!
Not every job is right for every person. It is actually a positive thing that you realize that the company is not a good match for you. If I were in that position, I would give a 2-week notice, as it is the professional thing to do. Good luck! Don't beat yourself up. There is something else good out there for you.
no, I don't fail to understand....
I said, in the beginning. I have been an MTSO for many years. I tell the physicians what I charge. I have lost only 1 account out of many due to cost. I realize the horrible effect that outsourcing has had, but there are many, many physicians who still care about the quality of their transcription and are willling to pay for it.
You are setting yourself up to most likely fail...
if you try to start an MT business right out of school. Unfortunately, people take the college courses for MT just to find out that most employers do require experience. There are companies that do hire newbies, but one must have attended an "approved" school. It's not too late for you though. I see you as having 3 options:
1. You attend an "approved" MT course/start over with schooling.
2. You apply everywhere, check your newspaper, keep looking.
3. You attempt to start up your own business and learn as you go, although I highly don't recommend this route.
Good luck!
What happens if you fail your QA audit?
Do they fire you or help you or what? I know it is different at every company. Just curious what might happen.

I kind of fail to understand...sm
...why this is upsetting you so much. She didn't call your husband and flirt with him or ask him out. She called looking for your husband's friend, and I am assuming from your post that this woman is a friend of your husband's friend. A lot of males have female friends and vice-versa. I fail to see how this is your fight. I would let it go. It doesn't sound like it's hardly worth getting yourself upset. Just my 0.02 cents.

cutsey seeds and lose a job.
The thing with the suntan lotion is wow. I saw some of that lotion at the suntanning salon I go to. What I can't figure out is why put hemp in tanning bed lotions anyway?
you fail to understand basic economics
the market will pay whatever the market will bear. You say "if all IC's set their pay scale like they should have in the beginning, the MTSO's would have to pay it in order to get their work done and would have to charge their clients enough to cover the costs." What you don't understand is that MTSO's don't set their pay scale either. The physicians decide what they are willing to pay and if you can't bid into that range, you don't get the work. When India came in to the picture, the entire pay scale dropped. Therefore, MTSO's must charge less if they want the work. Therefore IC's must accept less if THEY want the work... and so on down the food chain. 
It's hard so that you'll fail the first time and
Tell your employer that the money you give to AAMT/ADHI for the 'privilege' of taking their test is funding the progressive offshoring of the American MT profession. If you've been an MT for nearly 30 years, you don't need a CMT after your name. You were a professional MT long before that bunch of con artists dreamed up that scheme to make themselves rich by making MTs think they were on their side. Now we all know better. Don't fund their offshoring scam!
It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs. It's over $90. That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT. The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country.
tuning fork test: Is it about a hearing test? .See inside
A whisper is about 20 dB
Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 to 120 dB
A jet engine is about 140 to 180 dB
Hope I could help
If you didn't follow the current BOS style "rules" etc. that's where you might have fail

Not a medical typing test but this website can test you..
It's called www.typingtest.com
Atleast it will give you an idea.. Sadly, I had to take it twice before I passed it LOL
Why would they do a microalbumin test when she has the period? A lot of test s will come out wrong

Neer's test is a shoulder impingement test
Don't think that has to do with the knee. How about "bucket handle tear" of the knee? Never heard of Neer having anything to do with the knee.
YOU, Busy MT'ing, are one of those that fail to reach mature conversation when you mockingly add

happens quite often i would test again or go see your GYN for blood test which is more accurate

Yeah a 30 minute test---work for free, he gets enough to test, his work is done - nm

Or maybe that in itself IS the test! It's really an ethics test, LOL. nm

What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t

The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers

Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.

You really should not be asking for help if this is a test sm
If this is a test for school or employment, it really should be done by you. It is not a fair test if someone else does it for you. If this is not a test, please clarify and maybe people will help, but I think it is cheating otherwise.
test, this is only a test. nm

If this don't work, I'll quit.
If this is just a test then (sm)
why don't you just pick something...like @@@ or ??? or *** or something like that...leave it for where you find it inaudible, and when you send back your test just tell them. You could do ___inaudible___...anything. Just let them know when you send the test back. If you were actually working, then you'd go by the account specifics for how leave a blank, but for a test, just pick something appropriate and let them know.
We have to test because there have been....sm
too many times that people claimed they were transcriptionists, or could do a certain work type, only to find out they couldn't and were bluffing. Testing is the only way to tell if an applicant has any knowledge or not. Resumes don't always tell what their true skill level is.
That's the best way for a co to test you because they never know if someone sm
is having someone else take a written test for them. The best way to test and just as accurate as mega transcription tests is oral phone testing. That way, it comes from what is in the person's head of what they know

Don't feel bad....I've been an MT for 24 years, & failed 2 tests, but passed several others.
Yes, and it's $95 to test for it...
I cannot imagine what they will come up with next! Obviously AAMT is in a crisis financially and is trying to dig their way out. Why would anyone desire this bogus, worthless designation?
I'm thinking of offering an "SMT" for only 10 bucks . . . and NO TEST!!! What do you think???
Oh, what is "SMT?" That would be Smart Medical Transcriptionist, of course!!!!
To test him I'd say
Gee honey, I'd don't want to disappoint the children again. Maybe next time we'll suprise you instead.
I wonder what his reaction would be to that!

TEST
I did a 3 EPT's all were positive with lines that were hard to read and yes the lines took a few minutes to show and a blood test at the doctors office which confirmed, by the time you spend money on pregnancy tests you can go to your doctor and pay a 10.00 copay and get a result... just an idea !!! I'm officially 7 weeks !!!!!
Probably a different test.
AAMT likely won't flunk many of them. They wouldn't want to scare away the hordes of potential buyers of their BOS and CMT certification.
Who can take CMT test?
I am just curious if I live in Canada, would I be allowed to take the CMT test ? or is it just strictly for american MT's? Would it benefit me as a IC ?
Tanks
CMT self-test
I just took the 60-question self-assessment test. A passing grade is 51/60. After 16 years of acute care experience, I got 43/60 correct. That blows my mind!
I'm asking myself 'who needs this' ???
We can't help you take a test. You just have to do the best you can.
That's all any testee can do. After all, we aren't applying for the job. They expect you to leave blanks where you can't get something.
