89% score - msklp

Posted: Jul 25, 2012

I have tested for M*Modal TWICE now in the last few months and have only gotten an 89% accuracy rating........I have been a med trans for a long, LONG time and don't understand how I could score so low. Is there ANY WAY I can email someone within the company to explain to me WHERE I made the mistakes they said I made????? Makes me doubt my ability. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Was it straight editing? - anon

Have you done a lot of editing or mostly straight typing? I think editing takes a different skill set because it is all about typing exactly what VR says, personal judgement not encouraged.

Have you tried any other MTSO tests and if so, how did you score? If you haven't try one and see if it turns out different.

I tested for them (sm) - AlmostVictim

Granted, mine was for radiology but there were 4 audio files, 3 so-so and 1 was just horrendous. I managed to pass in spite of it (but it took me forever to keep double-checking what I could hear through the fuzzy tinny audio), but don't beat yourself up over it if you had less than stellar files to transcribe from.

(BTW, I turned down the offer because they were offering a 'per report' pay and I wasn't comfortable with that...I keep envisioning 7-page detailed combo CT scans and getting a whooping $1.15 for my trouble, LOL!).

Something better will come along... :-)

Probably because they aren't truly hiring - Loophole

If they advertise that they're hiring but can't find any "qualified" US MTs, they can use that excuse to say they have to ship the work to India. I'm sure you've heard time and time again from these companies that there is not enough US MTs for the work so they need help from our "global partners." You probably won't be able to see your mistakes because you probably didn't make them.

Believable except that . . . - anon

I have seen at least 3 people in the last week talk about either offers or interviews with MModal, so somebody must be passing that test.

To msklp - Please do not EVER let these people wear you down. It you were to work directly for a doctor you would undoubtedly do fine. MTSOs pick and complain so they can pay less (also may be paranoid themselves). I have finally gone on the hunt for a self-employment situation working directly for docs. Just could not stand it anymore. Every doc I have worked for like my work. MTSOs - complain a lot - pick pick pick. Who needs it? Listen to your own opinion of yourself - NOT THEIRS! Good luck.

Not you!!! I have worked for the "Q" Mmodal for 10 year SM - SBH

I tried the tier 3 test and failed. The first one I had a horrible dictator. The second one was so ridiculous even my QC said she did not know how that came up with the answers on the written part.

Never even given the chance to tier up - probably better that way

I never even got the test invite because it was sent to the wrong email address. Apparently the trainer could not spell the word "Medquist" and put an extra letter in there. My CCM never told me the results of the audit so I just figured I failed. When the situation was figured out that I actually had passed the audit and was eligible to test I had missed the 30-day window so they told me I had to audit again. Makes you feel so special.

Is it CHAD score - or CHADS score? On search I find CHAD, CHADS, and CHADS2. He is not saying a "2" at all, and with him saying "score" right after "chad," I don't know if there should be an 's' on CHAD or not.

I guess I am screwed. In all my years I have never had this many "Major Errors". Guess I have just been stupid my whole life and didn't know it. Score below 98 and since they have been monitoring me quite a lot the last week or so I imagine they are done with me for the quarter. Some of these errors are errors, but REALLY?

What is the QA score requirement? I thought it was 99%. I had three audits today that scored 99.75% and was told that if I proofread the jobs better before I sent them I would catch these small mistakes (one per job). Are we supposed to get 100% now? Just curious. TIA! ...

My FIESA scores are VERY low this quarter with a lot of points being taken off for errors. Has anyone been in a situation where at the end of the quarter they had a score that was below 98% and what happened? Is that instant termination? This is astonishing to me as I will be here for 4 years and never have had low scores ever and have never been in this predicament before. Thank you for any replies. ...

No matter how hard I try these days I cannot get my accuracy back to what it has been for years. I always maintained 99% or higher, mostly always right at 100% but now I cannot even get to 98% with everyone they keep marking me off for. It has gotten ridiculous. I have never ever had this many reports audited and marked for not having an s at the end of a word. So disheartening when I feel I am doing so good. Been at this for a very long time and never had anything like t ...

Did you get the hoops we have to jump through now to figure out your QA score. Can't just put in the pay date range and go by that because they are auditing reports outside the pay range, either before or after. Then you might manage to get 2 reports audited within the pay range, after you jump through hoops and figure it out yourself. So, what you think you are getting, when it shows up in webclock, it is way less than what you figured out in Fiesa. This is TOTAL BS ...

Because I saw several recent postings about test scores, I decided to ask a question. My question may seem strange but it's because the experience with the school I attended was strange. I hope and pray I never go through another nightmare like what I just experienced. This is for anyone who tested recently or for the experienced MTs who remember their final exam. Did your school tell you upfront what the requirement would be for passing your final? Was it a combinat ...
