Execuscribe On-Line Test Score
Hi! I just tested with Execuscribe yesterday and recieved a score of 88%. Does anyone know if this is a passing score?  Thanks!!
You didn't score an 80 something just
xx
It would be nice if they would provide an applicant with their test score.

?


Well I didn't get my score yet but it was ridiculous.
I don't understand it, I've been doing this 20 years and don't necessarily know anatomy like the back of my hand. We are not diagnosticians for pete's sake, we're MTs! If we knew all of that, we wouldn't be typing for peanuts we'd be MDs! LOL. Just a little ridiculous I thought.
Sounds like somebody didn't score too well on their
QA audit!
Didn't receive it either...
I'm not directing this question to you but just wondering why some of us receive these E-mails and some of us do not? Does it matter what account you're on?

I didn't even receive the courtesy of an e-mail, phone call, etc. sm
I thought the test was very easy. I've got 18-years of experience, sent a cover letter (that I spent an hour on) in addition to my resume and got not response whatsoever. The least an MTSO could do is say, Thanks, but no thanks. Daily applications, cover letters, and testing without so much as an email is beyond frustrating!
Does MedWare post your score in their email to you? How high a score do you need to get hired?Thx.nm

Their verbal test was not hard at all. I was amazed
really that it was as easy as it was because when she said she was giving a phone test, I panicked. I received a job offer a day later and gladly accepted it as they sound like a very nice company.
Ridiculously hard? I must be a genius then because I aced that test. nm
nm
I didn't take the test! LOL I had to
deal with her on another issue and it put her in an uncomfortable position. She certainly didn't know how to handle it then and her unprofessional claws came out! LOL


I didn't even test for KS rad
I got a call describing the position, then welcome to Keystrokes. So far there's not enough work, I'm begging for more and worried about tiny paycheck. Reserving opinion about company for now.
I had to test but I didn't think it was too bad...
nm
I didn't have to pay to test. sm
only thing so far that might run people off is that there MTs are overseas.
Sorry. I didn't have to take the test. nm
 
I didn't even get to test, they had an SM
ad, I applied.  I have 15 years of exp., CMT to boot.  Not a peep from them.
I didn't have to test so I'm not sure...wish I could be of more help!
.
Well, if you didn't take the test it's your loss...sm
they are still the best company to work for. You obviously didn't take into consideration their quarterly bonus info either.
Well, did you tell them you got thrown off and didn't even get to take the test?
x
Now I'm glad I didn't do so well on the test.
.
I didn't have to test and I can't remember if they
called the same day or the next day. 
I didn't test because rate was low for me, but
Owner was just using AOL for ISP, so I'm betting they don't have their own website. Is it supposedly their site or a testing site such as mttest.com ??

I do know they are a legit company and phone numbers were on emails so maybe you can call and find out what's up with the test. Good luck! I've actually heard it's a decent place, but I couldn't take that much of a drop in pay, unfortunately.
That test was so easy. If you didn't know
 - you shouldn't be an MT.  They were very BASIC questions that you learn in Transcription 101.
Thanks! I was surprised I didn't have to test, but that obviously is okay with me. sm

I have seen many positive posts about the company, and I was impressed by the things I was told by the recruiter.  Thanks again for the welcome!



I didn't fail the test, but... sm
you would not have failed for blanks. In fact, they told me to use blanks if I needed to when I took it because they would not count off for blanks but would surely count off for an incorrect word or guess. I'm sorry you didn't pass, but don't give up. I think you can retest again in 6 months. I happen to think that Webmedx would be worth another testing because it is a good company.
What's the matter? Didn't pass the test?
Can't pass a test, you don't get the job.
I took the Ortho test and didn't have a problem with it..
maybe it was a different test than your family members but no trouble here...
They didn't test me; I just had a nice long

chat with their recruiter.  Very casual and enjoyable.  She is a nice lady, funny, and enthusiastic about transcription.  As far as equipment, if you need a Lanier they will rent it to you.  They sent me a foot pedal for the internet account I occasionally typed, no rent required on that.  I don't know the exact computer requirements but Bayscribe doesn't call for a supercomputer by any means.  Hope I have been helpful.


I didn't have any trouble with the test after I got used to the fact sm

that I couldn't use my foot pedal.  The first and the third parts were easy, but I couldn't hear a few spots in the second dictation and had to leave blanks, but I guess that was okay because I apparently passed.


Maybe give it another try -- don't let the no foot pedal thing spook you. 


 



I don't know what they wanted to know. I didn't take the test. I felt it was invasion of pr

Honestly, I've been hired by companies that didn't test me.
I did not like those jobs one bit.  You start out immediately being stressed because they're out of TAT and desperate for people.  The work quality was terrible and I mean worse than any other place I've ever worked.  With your CMT credential, I don't think you'd have a problem finding a decent job.
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago.  Depends on current recruiters, I guess. 
Their test didn't involve all that dictation in the past. Wonder why the change? nm

A company sounds strange because you didn't pass their test? SM
I LIKE working for a company that puts quality over everything else.
No, don't feel bad - I didn't pass the editing test, either, to my shock! ;) nm

Hm, well if that was my score, it was better than a
I have no clue. Maybe someone will come along that knows if that was, in fact, the score or not.
QA score
Honestly, I've never seen a QA score since I've been there. They probably have one somewhere and if it gets too low they probably alert you or something, but I've never seen one. I'll get occasional random QA'd reports to review or occasional emails from QA about remember to do this. I can also go into the system and review ones that I knew I had a hard time with that have already been through QA and review them myself. So, I guess they're strict in a this-report-needs-to-be-perfect way but not in a you're-going-to-get-your-pay-cut-if-you-don't-get-your-commas-in-the-right-place way.
I do know and I score MTs when I QA them sm
I asked for an updated weighted scale the other day and got one. I know where my full time job is my QA runs about 99.7% or a little better. I have been off my game of late and I think I have dropped to 99.4%.

Now...where I QA I go ballistic with errors. I have an MT who will not WILL NOT look up anything. She had Asthmanex for Asmanex and transcribed NovaLog when the doc said Novolin. The insulin problem could be life threatening!!! She has doctor names misspelled all the time when we have an easy datatbase to use. It is not perfect, it is convenient and not hard to use. She has semicolons when commas and periods are better. I have not counted her punctuation otherwise, don't care where she sticks a comma. She can't use a compound modifier properly and she has a habit of hyphenating every instance of a number (q.8.hours. or 3-days time instead of 3 days' time, etc.) I can't score her above 92% at best and she is often at 88%, not acceptable.

I completely agree, punctuation can't get you down to the 80s. I am tough and the MT above might get worse out of others who are sticklers in ways I am not, but still.

Ask for specifics and examples. QA gals are not perfect. We do the best we can.
I'm sure not going to get into a credit score war w/you, BUT....
I can guarantee you that mine is way higher than yours - and it didn't get that way by allowing whomever wanted to look at my credit report to send me a bunch of BS through the mail or call me! I have never heard of the person to whom you referred in your last posting, but I guess there is only one expert or advisor in the world, correct? I will continue to use the freeze on my account and know that I'm protected while you on the other hand..................
You don' know what you are talking about. My QA score was 99.9. nm
 
I was QA'd on training every day I'd see my score.
Did you forget about the training review reports? You review your reports daily on QA during initial time period.
Why should I ask about my score if I passed....sm
Usually one asks why one did not pass.
Yes, and passed with a high score -
but that was a while ago (last summer). I don't know if the test has changed at all. Good luck.
It should have instantly sent you a pretty low score.
,
what is the minimum QA score required

Thanks!


Just because someone does not receive
their paystub, does not mean it was not sent. With the banks being closed, if funds were sent and missed the deadline, it would be the next business day before it is posted. I always get my paystub the day AFTER deposit.
I got an email stating my score within a few days.

That score is with current company. I also have e-mails from
my STM at Webmedx telling me how pleased they were with my work.   Someone is always wanting to say that you just couldn't cut it when you leave a company, but that wasn't my situation.  Actually the lack of work was a blessing.  I now work for a company whose QA is very strict, even more so than Webmedx, where my score last month was 99.9%, there is lots of work 24/7, and the pay is better.  I was also making my line count after 3 days.  So the story had a happy ending.   When one person leaves that might be chalked up to a quality issue, but when several leave at the same time then that likely isn't the case.  The numbers showed what the workload was like. 
On that score, you are 100% correct, just slow with the flow.
