Do I need BOS 3 to take MTTest?

On the mttest site I have noticed that some are by Career Step and others are not. I always pass the ones that are not, but when Career Step is involved, I seem to be told every time I need more schooling and this is after being an MT for 18 years and also having run my own business. Does anyone know of any companies that do not use Career Step for testing? Where I work now didnt and I had no problems. Other places I worked, I was not tested with Career Step involved and ...

How exactly do you score well on these automatically graded tests from mttest? I am a CMT with many years experience and while I do pass, sometimes I get a score in the 80s and then other times its the high 90s. I have been told that some let it automatically score and others manually score them. What is the secret? Is it just a formatting thing that throws the scores off so much? ...

I believe that if we all boycott MTTest, that these companies will have to find other ways to test applicants. From this point on, I will no longer take any tests through the MTTest website. Also, any company who throws more than 3 or 4 dictations at you for testing purposes isn't worth working for. So, MTSOs, get ready for the onslaught because I doubt that I'm the only one willing to do this. No company is worth the grief of having to spend hours taking tests, ...

Regaring MTTest and their pass/fail inconsistencies - I'm wondering if they don't set these things to fail anything after a certain number of test takers. I'm just saying, if I were an MTSO hring a weed-wacker like MTTest, and with the high number of applicants these years, I'd be saying something on the order of "just send me the top 20." and so MTTest takes the top 20 from say...50, or even the top from after 2 days of open testing, and then 'defaults ...

I'm a recent MT grad. and was wondering how this website works? Are there any websites that offer practice tests that are similar to the type online companies use? I haven't taken any online tests yet and wonder do most companies let you use a foot pedal? Or do they use the F1, F2 etc. commands? thanks for any advice! ...

When using mttest, do you expand the abbreviations the first time encountered in the report? I know mttest can be tricky and I'm worried I'm doing it wrong. Thanks! ...

The site is very literal. Here are some tips. Objective: 1. Thoroughly read the instructions. Don't try to think about the instructions - simply read them and follow them. For example if it tells you to type the correct spelling of a word into a field (picking a misspelled word out of a phrase), only type that word - not anything else. 2. Look up every single word and definition before you make a choice. I don't care how much you T ...

I just had to say that when I see a company looking for MTs and they have to test through mttest, I cross them off my list of potential employment. What a waste of my time. Took it years ago and would never do it again. There has to be some other way or just look at a person's resume and phone previous employers. If I have over 25 years of experience, took pride in getting my CMT and have tons of experience in every specialty, chances are I am a good bet. Just venting. ...

it the next day? Will they save your test overnight? I started late today and ran into a problem (personal) and was wondering if I could finish the test tomorrow. Appreciate any info. ...

Just took another test at that site and, as we all know, most of the time the tests are ridiculously easy and yet I keep failing...supposedly. Something fishy in Vancouver:))) ...

HELP? Has anyone out there recently passed the mttest.com (created by Career Step) that most all companies are utilizing to prescreen their candidates? I am a Career Step graduate (high honors) with many yearsâ�� experience working for a very large global transcription company; yet I cannot seem to pass the aforementioned test to save my life. I find this strange for the following reasons: 1. I passed the same (or nearly the same) test, on the 1st try, with a 99% combined score t ...

It has been my experience that any time a company requests that you go to their testing site to complete a test, it seems to be a waste of time in screening candidates. The audio files are extremely hard to hear and half the time the audio skips. There should be a better way to screen applicants than by using these testing sites. It is a no-win situation. You spend two hours doing their screening and trying to transcribe reports that are not the work type that they are ev ...

I find myself shying away from companies that use mttest. Something about that method of testing and scoring just doesn't sit right with me. ...
