I would probably leave that out in a letter

and not put what you charge. Actually, I would do some calling. I am also in Washington State-where are you at? I also graduated from At-Home Professions and it just gave me the BASIC skills. I wish I had more but that mostly comes from learning (I read your other posts). I had a job before I graduated. I was mentored and learned a specialty. That went great until the work slowed down in January. Now I started physical therapy. It is going okay but there is a learning curve and I have no mentor. I signed on for part-time as I have 2 children and another on the way but it has been very full-time and very stressful. I may have to switch to something else. I have been doing this for almost a year. I would highly suggest seeing if you could work evenings at a hospital near you if you have someone to watch your child. This would give you the experience and you could work at home within a year or two. This is not an option for me. In January when the work slowed down I literally got on the phone with every doctors office in my area. I had about 4 job offers. But again most of them were full time or in the office/hospital and not at home. Keep trying!

instructions on how to notate a blank.   I have 20 years of experience and I have only had one test in my career that I have had to leave a blank,  but there are usually different levels of reports.  One report may be very clearly dictated, clinic type work where there really isn't a lot of medical terminology.  Another may be an acute care report, possibly an Op, and then one may be a report there the sound quality is bad, an ESL dictator, or a fast talking US dictator.

The company is trying to get an idea of your skill level.  If you do very well on the first report but not so well on the second and horrible on the third, then they will probably offer you a clinic account and start you off at the bottom of the pay scale.  

Leaving a blank wouldn't count against you as much as guessing at something and getting it wrong.   I don't think leaving a blank will stop you from being offered a position, but excessive blanks would probably would.
