Failed test and very upset - Melissa


Posted: Nov 02, 2010

I am very upset, I took the radiology test and they say that I failed it and I don't see how. I have been a radiology transcriptionist for 20 years. There were only two questions on the multiple choice questions that I was uncertain of and the typing was easy. Has anybody else encountered this?

Ask them what you missed - Tina

I'd express my concerns to them, tell them of my experience, and tell them how I thought I had done extremely well on the test and could they go over my results with me in detail, specifically pointing out what I missed. Perhaps they got your results mixed up with someone elses. You never know, it could happen.

or perhaps... - sm

Answers on some of those multiple choice questions that you thought you knew were actually wrong? This would show up in the typing portion as well. Just saying...

Just because one has many years of "experience" doesn't mean they might not have been doing some things wrong all along without anyone having pointed this out to them. Not saying that's the case here, but a possible explanation for having failed a test.

My sister had the same problem - Not to worry

I think it is just an excuse for them not to hire US transcriptionists. My sister was top notch and like you had 20 years of experience and took the test and was told she did not pass. There is no way she did not pass it!

Failed The Test For SGS??
Feb 24, 2013

So, I go through the grammar portion of the test, use a ton of reference materials when I needed to and I failed the test? Huh???!!! There wasn't even a place that told me what my score was! I have 10+ years in this field and can't see how I failed the test and it's just not sour grapes on my part.  This kind of shakes me to the core and makes me not want to apply anywhere else! Anyone else have this happen?  ...

After failing the Medquist test in September 2009, they just e-mailed me today saying Medquist - Eligible to Retest.   Just a few hours later, I got another e-mail saying "Employment Update - Medquist.  You are eligible to retest." I thought a lot of people are losing their jobs at Medquist.  Why the desperate urge to hire, especially people who failed their employment test?     ...

...because so many people are not making 99.5% accuracy in their audits.  Perhaps it is time to consider that whoever promised the client 99.5% accuracy has something quite strong in their medicine cabinet.  For years, the standard has been 98% and that is for a reason.  That number is possible with humans.  Machines sure can't deliver 99.5%; just ask anyone who has to correct the harebrained interpretations of SR, which never learns, by the way.  Do the doctors hav ...

Ummmmm, it is in the list I sent you...  TSMs are sending out their famous backlogs....THEY should know I am OOW, but I feel almost guilty telling them I am OOW.  I have had TSMs tell me that no one else was OOW on such and such a date. Ummmmm, it is likely they are on different accounts. ...
