Taking an "EFiler Test" tomorrow... - sktm

Posted: Dec 03, 2014

...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.

I guess asking for help is doing something wrong... - sktm

Hmm - 77 views - 2 dislikes with not a word about what I am doing wrong or answering the question about what an "EFiler Test" is. I'm trying to hold self and home together, cannot work outside the home, but willing to step into an unfamiliar area to keep the electricity on. I could go on and on with WHY I'm doing this - All I want are some suggestions about how to go about the "EFiler Test" - Please, people, try to support others in their efforts to not go over the edge in this very hard world.

I don't know - what

an "EFiler" test is, and I may not be alone. I may know it under a different name. Some more information might be helpful.

Clueless - and that's why... - sktm

...I posted the question. I answered an ad in MTStars a few days ago, they responded, and I'm pursuing it. The ad was posted by MIST-corp and the person who contacted me has been most gracious. Thank you for answering my query. Guess I just need to put on my big-girl panties and just take the next step.

My bad... - sktm

Please let us know how it goes and exactly what it is. I also applied and am supposed to test today. Good luck and I hope it's the break you need.

Bless you... - sktm

I will definitely post the situation. So happy to hear from you. "Test" comes up in about 2 mins... fingers crossed that it's not a bust...

Okay, Sandi - Here's you're answer. You will be sent a PDF file that gives you step-by-step instructions. If you have a color printer, print it out so you can refer to it often during the test (though they have a way to bring it up if you need it). You have a half-hour to study it and then are to call them and you will be joined with their testing program. This will put you in an environment that is similar to what is experienced on the job. The test is short, the person conducting it is extremely pleasant and helpful. You just need to have basic knowledge to find a correct document, match it with the correct patient, and send it on its way. I wish you good fortune. Please do let me know how your test goes. (All she did with me was take the information/results and I presume will refer it back to the HR level.)

I think it went well. It was a little difficult knowing she was hovering though. Good luck, hope it works out for you.

how long afterfilling out their form were you asked to test? - pj

They contacted me with a form to fill out on days and hours I'd like to work. I just sent it back in.

Good luck to you

Sounds like you're making progress... - sktm

Congratulations - I hope the next step for you is an offer.
The job was posted on MTJobs on 11/26 and I was asked to take the test on 12/3, took the test on 12/4 - now feeling a little unsure, but that's just me. I don't know how many openings they are filling, but she did say they were in ASAP mode.

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.. ...

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. ...

I haven't had to test for many years and am out of the loop. I am aware a lot of places have initial grammar, punctuation, and anatomy tests before ever being given a transcription test. I am wondering about the transcription test portion. How do you know when to add a heading or just transcribe verbatim? If an incorrect heading was dictated,do you change the heading to the correct heading or just leave a blank in that space? Are you able to leave notes as to why you changed these things or ...

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. ...

I'm interviewing tomorrow morning with Amphion. Even after all of these years in the MT business, I admit that while I'm excited, I'm also a bit nervous. Has anyone else interviewed with Amphion recently and can clue me in on what to expect? I was told the interview process would take about 30 minutes but no other details. Thanks for any input anyone can offer :-) ...

I turned in my resignation 2 weeks ago and my last day is tomorrow. No more nagging about line counts and MUP when they can't even pay me minimum wage (although mine is the second highest in the nation). I've done this work for almost 9 years now and have enjoyed it, but the pay is just getting too low and I'm sure I can find something better in another field. Good luck to you all. ...

my new life of not dealing with trying to produce a medical report for a MTSO to look good and make profit. How things have changed in the medical world and it is getting ulgier by the day. The demands put on MTs are totally unreasonable. I am walking away because of retirement and I am thankful I can. I honestly do not know if I could survive under the stress of trying to produce perfection for such minimal pay and know that a MTSO is making as much as me for each line I ...

I got an email from HR today that my husband was 'accidentally' added back on my insurance. Note that he has not been on my insurance for almost a year. How this happened I have no idea. That means my paycheck tomorrow will have about $400 deducted from it just for that error. The email basically said "Ooops, sorry about our mistake you will be reimbursed with *next* paycheck." That means a 2-week wait for their mistake. I am not desperate for the money (thank ...

I know there aren't very many of you that probably like your boss enough to send them a gift, but if you DO happen to have a nice boss it wouldn't hurt to tell them so they don't become mean and cynical like the rest of them!
