Patient First test - approximately how long does it take
Posted: Jan 13, 2015
I am trying to work this into my schedule, and I want to make sure I plan enough time. Thanks!
The initial test on-line? If so, that varies from person to person - took me about 2 hours.SM
[ In Reply To ..]But someone else could have completed it in an hour or an hour and a half and maybe someone who is really particular could take 2-12 hours. But took me 2 hours. The test is difficult so you really should not try to squeeze it in. Wait and do it when you have plenty of time and don't have to rush. I cant remember if it was timed or not. Good luck.
meant 2-1/2 not 2-12 - oops.

Patient First Test - No Idea
Jan 17, 2015
I have no idea how I did because I don't know what they are looking for in their testing. It is obvious they want to see how you handle difficult dictators. I had to leave some blanks, which most companies would prefer you to do. I just wonder how many people level several blanks in the test and still got hired? I especially had to leave 2 or 3 blanks on the guy who whispers. Turned the volume all the way up on my computer and still could not make out parts of his dictation wit ...
