I know a lot here pooh-pooh the BOS 3, but if you want to pass most MT employment tests, it's a must. You can find used copies at Amazon and Half.com, and sometimes shows up on the Classifieds board here.
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 ...
I have gotten audited twice in the past week! They have pulled 6 reports on me. I thought that they only do 3 and do it about twice a month. I think something is going on there. What is the passing score. I know it is 98. something. Thanks! ...
I just did my final exam and did not pass. I got a 98% on the written and 82% on the practical. What happens if you do not pass (after alotted tries)? Can I still work in a clinic or doctor doing transcription or is all my training a big waste?? ...
when you are told you didnt pass the audiit test, are you booted out after so many of those or what? I am not even sure if sending a question lowers your score??? anyone know? ...
Understanding that most employers don't recognize the CCA for the paper it's printed on, do you feel that by putting in a moderate amount of extra studying and completing an AHIMA-approved coding course one could sit for and pass the CCS - assuming they ever open the thing back up? ...
I interviewed with Accentus after passing their testing. The interview seemed to go just fine. The recruiter said I will need to have a second interview with the account manager, and b/c it would be a new account, this could take 1-2 weeks. It's closing in on a week, and I'm wondering if they are really going to call me back? Has anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks ...
Has anyone ever NOT passed the check? My credit is not so hot and I had a DUI about 30 years ago (dumb), so I am a bit nervous that this might screw up my employment. In the old days, people just hired you or didn't hire you. Sigh. ...

This link is for a mon - fri 8-430 MT supervisor in house position in Ocala fl. Thought I'd pass it along. Just wish I lived there for this job!! ...
The patient has no sleep apnea. Normal sleep study. MRI was negative. Rest of pituitary looked fine including a course stem test.
Need help with above term...thanks ...
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 ...
Has anyone actually been able to get through Inscribe's testing process? I have tried two times now and it sucks towards the end of the tests. I must be an IDIOT! Just curious.... ...
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!!!! ...
I got an invitation to test for a transcription company. This company does not do any doctor's notes, but they do other medical type work such as meetings, etc. On their site they have 3 tests and you can do all or as many as you feel comfortable doing. I downloaded one of the tests to check it out and it is almost 30 minutes long. I am ambivilent about taking such a long test with no compensation just for them to decide if I can do the work. What do you people ...
I know that the tests given by MTSOs are from mttest.com and that they are pass/fail tests. Does anyone know what the passing percentage is? One strike, you're out? How does this work?
Thanks. ...
