Now begins the week of waiting - anxiousmt
Posted: Mar 16, 2014
I don't know about others but I will probably be checking my email every 5 minutes starting about Tuesday. I wonder if they will send an email to those who don't make the cut.
I would expect a group e-mail saying - they have chosen
[ In Reply To ..]and thanks for applying. If the orientation is the following Monday, they will very likely notify the 60 no later than Wednesday.
I only got an 86, so I highly doubt I get in, which makes the waiting easier, but yes, I will probably be checking constantly anyway, just in case. LOL.
Suggestion for new coders - txmt
[ In Reply To ..]The chosen should post their test scores
and that accomplishes what? why should I post my score to - satisfy your nosiness? nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Maybe just to see how close a person came? - basic human curiosity
[ In Reply To ..]I don't anticipate I will get in, however, txmt (the one who posted the suggestion) got a 94 (she posted her score below), so she will probably get in.
I suppose it is morbid curiosity to want to know just how far away you were from the brass ring.
If I were to get in, I doubt I would post my score. There are only 60 people getting in and the last thing I would want is MModal having any inkling I post on this board, as it is downright hateful towards them as a whole.
I got 92, not 94 - txmt
[ In Reply To ..]Iam not all that confident that I will get in. I just thought it would be interesting to see what the range of scores is.
94 scorer - txmt2
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry for the confusion but apparently there are two txmt on board. I scored the 94 and did not make any other comments. Congrats to other txmt with the 92 and all other test takers no matter the scores.
Actually there must be at least 3 of us. That's my email address too ;) - I quit using it here though because too many of us
[ In Reply To ..]x
Great minds think alike - txmt2
[ In Reply To ..]LOL. Well glad to meet you fellow Texan!
Testers not on board - txmt
[ In Reply To ..]I suspect that most of those who took the test do not post on this board and we don't know how many tested. There could be a very large number who tested in the 90s, or even 100, that we don't know about. That is why I am not terribly confident.
Would have posted score but not wanting to be identified! - Not the same as any others.
[ In Reply To ..]It was in the 90 range though, probably safe to say that much. And I strongly disagree with at least one of the answers I got wrong, and 2 were plain badly written, w/more than one possible answer. Yes, I am THAT GUY.
I saw my score but couldn't see what was marked wrong. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I do think they should look to see if everyone missed some of the same questions and consider if maybe they entered the wrong answer as being correct.
There were a couple that were marked wrong that I looked up - sm
[ In Reply To ..]and am finding that they should have been correct. I'm a little confused by that. Oh well...
Go back in to MMU, go to Course Library. - Modules, A and P Test, then gray Results box.
[ In Reply To ..]You can review your answers for funsies there!
Thank you! - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Wrong answers - sam
[ In Reply To ..]I feel the same about one of the questions. What it the one about hepatitis?
Yes. But I wouldn't say anything more than that because they can still test today. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
when I logged in to the University Website it said it was due by 03/16 - who knows
[ In Reply To ..]x
The email says 3/17, so better safe than sorry! :) - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
i think you read it backwards? - lol
[ In Reply To ..]x
"Deadline for completing the Anatomy and Physiology test is March 17" - That is today.
[ In Reply To ..]x
*facepalm* - not in the email
[ In Reply To ..]in the modules section of the M*Modal University.
I am assuming everyone has done their test already so it won't show up anymore.
Can we please not post specific questions or too much info anyway because - SM
[ In Reply To ..]there's a possibility some are still testing today, but also if they decide to offer this program again, they may reuse the same test & we shouldn't give an unfair advantage to anyone. I think we're all in agreement that some of the test answers were wrong or that there were 2 equally correct answers, etc.
Yeah seems to be a conflict w/the info on MMU and the email. - I took mine last night to be safe. (nm)
[ In Reply To ..]x
Date due confustion - confused
[ In Reply To ..]According to the e-mail the date was 3/17, but when I signed in to take the test, I saw it was marked as overdue, so I figured I would take it anyway as a practice test and not expect to be eligible for consideration this go-round. So, I finished in a half and hour and got an 84. Next time, if and when, I will double check my answers.
Yep that was one of the badly written ones. - In My Humble Opinion
[ In Reply To ..]Won't say more but you know what I'm saying.
Yes, that ONE for me too. - Anon. NM
[ In Reply To ..]xx
i agree with you. I felt one was a trick question and would have absolutely - NOTHING to do with coding
[ In Reply To ..]it was the one regarding positioning. when i saw that one was wrong i was like...you have got to be freaking KIDDING me. I bet everyone got that one wrong.
I got that one "wrong" too. - Poorly written test.
[ In Reply To ..]It makes me think no one had a chance at 100%.
What kind of positioning? - Coder
[ In Reply To ..]I see a need for some types of positining in coding. What specifically was it?
Hey Coder! Probably wouldn't like to say. - In case the same test is recycled in future.
[ In Reply To ..]Out of curiosity, though, how might positioning play into the coding process?
Ditto... don't want to be identified either, but yes test needed proofing.. - MTSMNP
[ In Reply To ..]LOL

I applied, tested for and passed for the Accentus STARTeam position.

I was on the phone with her for over an hour. She was very excited about my experience and told me I would be a great fit. It was very clear that she thought I would be a valuable addition to her team and the interview went very, very well. &nb ...

Got the emails today about the changes in management. I can't say that was much of a surprise. However, for one of my accounts I got an email saying that from now on the dictation for this particular account is going from the hospital to BeyondTXT to Bayscribe. I can't see the logic in adding that step unless they want to phase Bayscribe out of that account and get it on BeyondTXT and its VR. Despite whether that turns out to be the case or not, it's so sad ...

To all you wonderful MTs working and slaving your lives away, Happy MT Week. I appreciate you.

I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game.

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents.

How Do You Use Your Waiting Time?
Jul 02, 2010
Hi, I am an old MT but new to working at home. Didn't know beans about any company, but have gotten hired by a company that (as I found out on these forums) apparently overhires. As I understand it, this means that my "8-hour shift" may stretch to fill the entire day, as I wait for dictation to become available, because we have to do a certain number of lines, if there's work or not. My question to anyone in the same situation is, What do you do during the time you are waiting? Is it ...

after reading this excerpt from the Dept. of Labor website http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/hoursworked/screen1d.asp (this link was posted below in an earlier conversation by "fedup"). Waiting for Work Time which an employee is required to be at work or allowed to work for his or her employer is hours worked. A person hired to do nothing or to do nothing but wait for something to do or something to happen is still working. The Supreme Court has stated that employee ...

Waiting Time Pay
Mar 29, 2013
Did you know that the Department of Labor requires that you be paid for waiting time? That's right. Keep track of all the time you are out of work during your regular shift and are required to be available to work when the jobs come in. All that time is billable to the company and is, by federal law, due to be paid to you! Keep track of all your out of work or waiting for tech support down time!!! Bill the company for it. ...

for you to slip up, mess up, and they enjoy it when you do? In the last couple of weeks, I've realized that maybe I'm not cut out for this (I've been an MT for 15 years). I hate feeling like I always have to be on the defensive. In 2 weeks, I have had some pretty major errors attempted to be pinned on me. One of them wasn't even my report. The other one was a mixup. But it feels like they (QA) delight in finding these things and trying to pin them on people that don ...
