How long after taking the test do they contact you? - Curious

Posted: Nov 18, 2010

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 found out within 2 days....by email and phone. - LS

I found out the next day or so, by email and then by phone. After you pass the test, then they want you to go online and schedule a time for a phone interview. The phone interview is scheduled to last not longer than 20 minutes. Mine lasted 10. She asked a lot of yes/no questions about work/training experience, like what kind of reports you've been exposed to, which were your strongest/favorite and which were your weakest/least favorite. Didn't really ask any personal questions at all. She didn't say what the pay would be but asked what my pay expectations were. Then she explained that as a new MT (recent grad, no work experience) I could only work a full time schedule, no part time. The first 4 weeks would be a full time, week day, day time hours schedule. After that, I would be required to work 40 hrs a week to include at least 1 weekend day. Also, the earliest in the day you can start working is 11:00 am. She then told me to go back online and finish filling out some job application stuff. If they want to offer me a job, she said I would hear from someone again within about 3 days. After hearing all that and doing more research, I hope NOT to hear from them so that I won't be forced to turn them down! I should mention I am a stay-at-home mom to a toddler and a part time schedule is my preference, otherwise I have to figure out some other childcare plan and this job doesn't pay well enough for that!

I am on a troublesome account that is fairly new to the company and is a mix of VR and straight transcripiton. When it first started, there was plenty of work. All that work has now dried up. I am lucky if I get a total of 400 lines per day. Most of my day (approximately 12 hours a day) I sit and keep clicking for the next job to download from EditScript and most of the time anymore nothing comes. My question for anyone who would care to answer is how long would you ...

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 ...

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. ...
