I would love some test-taking tips.

Hi.. So I just received an email that I need to take a test in order to get my first job. They are telling me to use my FTP program to log on to the IP address.. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I have filezilla and also express scribe. Are these the correct programs I should use? Where do I go on there to type in the IP address? Thank you.. Misty3720 ...

Hi All! I am actually thinking about taking my CMT test. I have thought about ioff and on a lot over the years. I have 13 years experience in 3 different hospitals and 3 different well known transcription companies (I know I change jobs a lot), but often times working 2 jobs at once. I know the AAMT Book well. Despite my experience, I'm still afraid I won't pass the test. I have known so, so many transcriptionists over the years and not a one of them have their CMT or at ...

I am considering it only because I keep taking a pay cut and can't afford it. I haven't taken it before because it irritates me that it costs almost $200, plus my job can simply be sent to India overnight. I wonder if it is worth the money and the headache. MQ supposedly will give you a (probably teeny?) raise. I am an MME and have been stuck doing too much 100% QA, then for regular transcription usually the worst junk jobs from every hospital on the list, usually not ...

Took the MQ test, didn't find it to be all that awful, I guess... so how long after you submit it do you find out if you passed or not? Granted, after spending the last two days on here reading every post I'm scared to death now and really not sure I really want to know, but bottom line, I need to work, and they pay benefits so I guess it's all good and maybe I'll get lucky and if I get hired it won't be all bad. Anyway, would appreciate any feedback.. ...

I'm taking a test and I've come across a word I can't find. It sounds like ramidamisus. Thanks in advance. Sunnee ...

Just wondering if I am missing something. I was sent a test by a company to transcribe. The dictation I guess runs off flash player. It just takes you to the site and there is only a button to start and stop the dictation. These are 2 VERY long dictations. How the heck am I suppose to be able to do that on a timed test when I cannot use a foot pedal. Are there function keys I am not aware of? Thanks. ...

Did you all take the QI test? Did you love it? ...

I am taking a test for a company and have gotten as far as taking the transcription portion. I downloaded their file (pedalplugin-win) but whenever I lift my foot off play, the tape rewinds to beginning. I cannot rewind or FF and autoplay to 0 isn't registering. Can anyone suggest what I could do to? Thanks!!!! I have 4 hours to complete test. ...

...and I am hoping for some words of wisdom from out there in MT land. Is there any prep I should be doing to arm myself for this test? Been doing psych transcription for the past 24 years - just getting desperate like so many others. Any suggestions? Thank you. ...

Have to say, I love Mmodal. My CCM is caring and considerate and kind. Also, love the pay and hardly ever running out of work but when we do, that is a nice break for me. I just put the pedal to the metal and don't take anything posted here to heart cuz, lots of angry people just wanting to take you down. Pass on the love!!! ...

Anyone got tips on pacing themselves or how to make things go smoother. I am a new MT and really want to do well since I left a good job to work from home, as it was a dream of mine. I realize that patient is a virtue. Something that I would like to possess more of. I am setting up my shortcuts, and feel like I am working my fingers to the bone, and not getting anywhere. Any tips and advice on things that will help me move right along will be much helpful. ...

Been tracking my work for the last couple of years on ASR, am able to calculate my paycheck usually within a dollar of what it should be upon deposit into my account, and thought I'd share some tips I've learned from ASR: Keep your fingers on the keyboard. Anyone who says they are bored doing ASR isn't doing it right. It is just as challenging as typing, even more so because of the concentration required. It is much like playing the piano in that one's fingers are always mov ...

Have read through numerous tips on this board on how to increase productivity (TY), but for the life of me can't seem to make much progress. There is one HUGE hurdle that slows me down terribly. At the very beginning of dictation, where the dictating physician says all the mumbo jumbo that should not be in a report - ADT info - we are to place a skip marker (and as far as my experience, it doesn't make much sense to place any more unless there is a blatant gap where none of the garbage ...

I have been an MT for 13 years and lately I have been suffering from severe burnout. I need the money so badly!!! But it seems impossible to stay focused on my work. Sometimes sitting down transcribing is nearly impossible - feels like trying to swallow bad cough medicine or something! I have tried putting up pictures of reasons I need to be focusing and typing and have tried challenging myself with line counts, etc. I just dont seem to be able to do it. ...

Learning to use VR can be accomplished by any MT who has solid MT skills and is knowledgeable about their work. I do not believe newbies or grads within their first 2 years should be using VR without QA backup (just my opinion). 1. You have to want to learn to use it effectively. If you try to do it kicking and screaming, being obstinant, you simply will hinder your learning curve and depth significantly. 2. It takes time. You will not learn it overnight.&nb ...

Any tips about proofreading? I am an MT intern consistently getting high 90s for grades in Acute Care but 99% is required to pass the program. Tps for perfecting MT proofreading would be appreciated. I seem to make dumb mistakes and just don't see them when I proofread. Maple Grandma ...

I know that everyone says there is no money in VR, but sometimes you have to take the job you are given and be thankful for that. The account I am working on is 99% VR. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on being productive. For example, do you look at your report first and fix any obvious errors and then listen to the dictation or do you just jump right in with the dictation and do it all then? Currently, I make about 5cpl for VR, which compared to some quotes I have rea ...

eee gads, every have one of those nights, or one of those weeks? what do you do when you just can't seem to get in the groove? maybe its the mt week contests and knowing I will never win anything (even though I meet all the production requirements) plus just plain wore out from trying to move for the past week or so. tried to get some PTO, but never get approved. and then add to it the 3rd shift blues. no matter what, just can't keep my eyes open! ...

I am fairly new to SR and have been doing it for about a month. Does anyone out there have any tips to share on how to become quicker? I have memorized keyboard commands and am trying to speed up dictation. Is that all there is to be successful at this? ...

Any tips on editing in Extext? ...

If you don't like those panels on the side of your text screen showing, you can drag the right and left margins of text screen to widen the text screen. You can also drag the upper and lower margins. You can enlarge the size of the font and change the style of the font (which only will change it on your end, not the client's end). I am not in the program right now, but I think it is under Tools at the top, then click on the tabs to see which one has the font ...

Would anyone be willing to share their proofreading tips. I find that VR requires a much higher level of concentration and focus to catch errors. The text on the screen can become a blur. After a couple of hours it is so easy to "hear" what the voice engine blew out and not catch a small but significant error. I am finding that something that needs to be deleted from the text is actually harder to catch than something that needs to be changed or added. Any tips would be helpful. I do see m ...

Hi! How do you all do it? I have a job that is 70% editing and about 30% typing. I can't seem to get any faster with my editing. I have tried to teach myself to only edit when absolutely necessary (not that I agree with that) and I have turned the speed up. I am not sure where I am going wrong? I try to keep with account specifics as well. BUT I do admit that I still throw in a comma where I think things could be confusing or put in a period with a ...

I will appreciate any marketing tips anyone can share. I'm a small MTSO and recently lost a client not due to EMR but the client went bankrupt and still owes me some invoices. I've tried cold calling which worked a few years back but nowadays it doesn't seem to work anymore. Thanks in advance. :) ...

I think I read every single line along with the speech, and I think I double check every single ADT, too. Then I get back my report back from QA and it's obvious that my mind wandered because there will be a line that is completely off and/or a wrong ADT. Do you all do this and if not is there any tips you can give me to help me keep focused? ...

I would love some test-taking tips. - Thanks

I think testing is just basic transcription and you may format as you want unless given acct instruc - see message
