SoftScript Acute Care Test - Function Disabled! - suzncatznkidz

Posted: Dec 03, 2012

I am attempting to take the SoftScript acute-care test and have received 2 separate links to the online test, which seems to have a drop-down feature for their multiple-choice questions. However, the drop-downs don't work (I've tried accessing the test using several web browsers), and when I right click on the test, I get the message "Function Disabled." Has anyone had the same problem, and, if so, what was your solution? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

So sorry to see this got moved here, where fewer will see it. - sm

I have no idea what's happening, especially if you've tried different browsers. You wouldn't happen to be using a pop-up blocker that might be blocking them? I often find that was the problem for a situation like you describe and have to turn off my Adblocker Plus.

If it's mttest.com where you're taking it, I believe there's some Tech Support contact info, but I have no idea how helpful or prompt they are. I've just taken 2 or 3 mttest.com tests in the past couple of months and find I have to use IE7 (which I never use for anything else) in order to get my footpedal to work.

Best of luck.

MTTest.com? - Bilboa

I'm assuming from context that MTTest.com is a site where one can do ONE (thank goodness!) testing process and have it be accessible to multiple prospective employers. Since I'm imminently about to be laid off, this naturally caught my attention big time. However, www.mttest.com automatically redirects to CareerStep, which appears to be a company basically selling training programs. Plugging mttest into Google yields various links to testing, each for a different company. Can anyone enlighten me about where to find the site and what the process might be?

Thanks for your reply. They sent a new link and . . . - suzncatznkidz

it worked with Internet Explorer (but not with Firefox). So, problem solved for now. Thanks, again!

As a relative newbie MT, I'm not certain what "acute care" means. Does it mean basically all reports that are from doctors in the hospital setting? That is, would any hospital operative note, hospital progress note, and all discharge summaries be considered "acute care"? I know a clinic note is basically a note by an outpatient doctor, right? And it's basically about more minor medical problems albeit could be chronic rather than "acute." ...

I completed my education with Everett Community College in their Career Step program for MT training in Dec. 2006. I have been working ever since in a rehab/therapy clinic. I am the only one who does the transcription for 7 therapists and it is a rather busy office. I have wanted to find work doing hospital transcription and certainly not from lack of trying to locate work on my part. What frustrates me is that I was told by my instructors that I should be able to find su ...

I would like to know what I would have to do in order to get some acute care experience behind me so that I can become eligible to apply for and test for acute care positions. Any information anyone has on this would be most a ...

I see that TransTech just placed an ad for acute care MTs. I was hoping that someone who currently works there or has worked for them in the past could share how your experience was. Do you run out of work a lot? Are they an overall good company to work for and treat their MTs well? I remember reading in the distant past that a lot of people there were running out of work a lot. Is this still an issue or a thing of the past? Any feedback on this company w ...

Does anyone know why Accentus Acute Care seems to always have the same job ad hiring for acute care MTs that pays a sign-on bonus? It seems as though either they never fill these positions or they are so difficult nobody stays. I would be interested in applying, but the last time I tried to apply with them on the ambulatory side, I could not get the voice file to work. Is this even worth applying for? What is their cpl rate and do they pay for spaces? Thanks for any ...
