Excellent resource for taking tests for MTSOs - sm


Posted: Aug 18, 2014

I took a test for an MTSO last week that required extensive knowledge of prefixes, roots, and suffixes.  I found an online resource that resulted in my getting 100% on all 4 sections of the test.  I have to admit that I knew probably 75% of them, but this resource helped me pass all of the tests. 

http://www.globalrph.com/medterm7.htm

However, I haven't heard anything from the company other than "Congratulations!  You passed all 4 tests 100%!"  No actual transcribing test yet. 

Interesting! - Thanks for sharing

Very nice resource. Hopefully my MT career will soon be over, but I bookmarked the site anyway because, at heart, I'm still just a word geek. :)

We are never too old to learn. - OP

I love discovering something new, and this was (and will be) the perfect tool!

This is all stuff that I learned when I became an MT 14 years ago. As an MT we should be familiar with prefixes and suffixes. Good refresher though.

Taking Timed Transcription Tests
Jan 29, 2010

Don't you just hate transcription tests that are TIMED and you start listening to the audio,  and the audio is so bad that you just feel and know that you are going to flunk it?   What do you do, then?  Do you continue and count your blessings or do you just exit?   I very much appreciate your answers. thanks! ...


Geez!! Some Of The Tests These MTSOs Give Out
Sep 25, 2012

are ridiculous!!  I want so bad to tell them I am not a doctor!  They expect me to know things that there is no way to know!!  I just got another one of those tests.  Very tempting to tell them what they can do with that test!  They could pay me $100 an hour and I MIGHT try it!  Wow!!  Just wow!  Was going to insert a mad smiley here, but they are not working. ...

Applying for a new job is a job in and of itself these days. Is anyone else having this ?? All these tests on these job applications. They are sometimes hours long. Some of these test reports are HARD. They are harder than most I do now. I work for MW now. I don't really have time to go through all these tests for hours and hours for FREE. I'm thinking of just not doing it and forgetting about that particular application. One of them I really was interested in too but what if I do all ...

Excellent Article About The Deterioration Of Notes For Patient Care
Sep 19, 2014

I have always hated it when the doctor crams in every disease the patient has in the first line whether or not the list is relevant to the chief complaint.  I can't think of anything more pointless than having a PA or resident dictate discharges when all he or she does is lift the consultants' impressions and plans and then plug in his or her standard "vital signs remained stable and the patient was discharged in stable condition."  They just chant thru it, as fast as possib ...

Came on looking for just a little quick answer and remembered why I quit doing so last year.  I've never seen a bigger group of unhappy people altogether in one place, well, ever!  You should all be ashamed of yourselves, hiding behind the anonymity of the internet saying things in ways you wouldn't dare in person face-to-face, or at least I'm sure were taught was hugely inappropriate when addressing another human being with respect!   We're supposed to be the ...

I have a dictator who dictates the same thing every time and it is fairly clear, but I can't verify it despite looking at a lot of ocular testing sites.  I'm hoping someone here can tell me if I am understanding it correctly.  This is in the context of saccadic eye movements, gaze-hold nystagmus, VOR to slow head movements, VOR to rapid head movements, vergence.  It sounds like, "times 1 viewing" followed by "not tested," but once it was followed by "Patient saw mul ...

Transcription Tests
Dec 03, 2011

Why in the heck don't employers give you at least some basic instructions for a transcription test? Some want you to format, others don't. Some want you to edit punctuation, etc., others want you to transcribe verbatim. It's very frustrating because they all seem to want something different, yet most don't bother to give instructions.  It's like they expect us to be mindreaders!    ...

for MT jobs that were ridiculous as in you basically need to be a doctor to pass, but I took a pretest just to take the coding course and it was ridiculous, as well.  I sure felt like emailing them and saying nevermind, I would not consider taking a course that you have to be a doctor just to do coding!!  Very frustrating!!!! ...
