Has anyone started the MTTest and had to finish (sm)

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 ...

All I have left is the resume part and now I can't get back to the page. I keep getting an HTTP 500 error that says Website cannot display. Just killing some time, thought I'd gripe for a minute. Thanks ...

Just wondering, does anyone know if I can work as a MT if I do not complete my schooling? I have about a month and a half of MT schooling left and I was wondering if I can do MT work? Iam at the point where I do not know if this is the right thing for me or not. Maybe if I can do some actual work it would help me decide to complete my schooling or try something else. Anyone else in my boat? Thanks!!! ...

It's getting late and it's been an extremely long test and I would like to come back to the test tomorrow if at all possible. Does anyone know???...thanks in advance. ...

The platform is giving me fits right now, as of 4 p.m. I download a job, it gets halfway through the download and tells me to either abandon or break, cannot download, this has happened to 4 jobs now. Anyone else having issues with the platform as of 4 p.m.? ...

I'm getting ready to enroll in the Andrews program. I was just curious how long it took previous grads with families and working? I currently work 30 hours weekly & have 2 children. I realize it could be 12-18 mos. before I finish and everybody's different, so looking for a rough idea of how it went for others. Thanks! ...

Is it possible to finish a coding course and then start working from home? I don't want to work in house. ...

Does MTTest use the current BOS 3 rules? I never updated because my last job didn't follow BOS that closely. Would I benefit buying the BOS 3 and going through it before I tested at MTTest? Thanks! ...

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. ...

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. ...

I have been looking for a MT job since April when I finished my course training with MTatHome out of Texas. I apply for spots that areposted as open but then get email back saying that they have no openings. I have been in the Medical profession for 6 years as a CNA and I am getting ready for nursing school in the Fall of 2010. I am just wanting to know what it will take to get my foot in the door in the MT field and get a job. If anyone has any suggestion or can help me ...

I just finished my FIRST shift and when I checked my line count I was shocked. Twice as much as I can do with MQ. There is something seriously wrong at MQ. At my new job, my CPL is a little less than MQ but not much. ...

hello-i am considering a change in jobs due to being terminated in may. i am interested in becomng an MT, but now you guys got me thinking twice about my decision. I know there are two sides to everyones story. I'm not looking into making big bucks, at least what i was making at my last job, $25K. Any suggestions on the best school? I understand schools are going to say that the MT field is growing, but those of you that have been out there awhile, is it realll ...

Hello everyone! I just found this forum. I currently work part-time as a legal virtual assistant. My background is in personal injury law and would like to get my feet wet and start medical and legal transcribing. Would anyone be so kind as to advise how I start. I already hold a B.A. in political science and do not think I need to go through a AA program. Bottom line, I am confused and don't know where to begin. Please help! Thank you! ...

I am looking to get started as a transcriptionist. What do I need to know? I have an associates degree (Liberal Arts). I can type pretty fast, and am pretty good at spelling. I am looking for advice on where I should start, or how to start being a transcriptionst. Thank you in advance for your information and advice. Dawn ...

I am a stay at home mom and I would like to get into MT. I am having a hard time sorting through the abundance of information out there. I have found programs that range from$400 to $5000. Can anyone give me advise about how to properly get schooling and procure a career? Thanks! ...

Hello all! It has been some time since I have posted here but used to visit quite often. My daughter-in-law is just about to finish my transcription course materials (she has finished the book work and is working on transcribing the voice files). She has already started applying to companies, however she is running up against the same issue we have all run up against as newbies "experience required." I am willing to sign a confidentiality agreement, have her work beside ...

doc states "A saline s/l well was started. The pt was given 1 liter of bolus I.V. normal saline... Saline well?? ...

Hey everybody, I just needed to vent a little bit. I started my first day on my first job, and it went absolutely horrible. I was using the Emdat InScribe platform, which seems easy enough, but they have sooo many templates that the doctor should be using and isn't. My first few reports were okay, but then everything went downhill. I'm supposed to use the templates, but half the time, I had to erase 3/4 of them because it wasn't what he was saying. The wrong templates would load, ...

Hello All! I have recently decided to begin a career in MT, and am trying to weigh my education options. I have a bachelor's degree in Hearing, Speech & Language Sciences, so I'm great with interpreting speech/language and am also pretty good at deciphering English as a second language. I've also worked for a hospital scheduling outpatient testing for the past three years, so I have a bit of a background in medical terminology (still so much to learn!) and the inner workings ...
