Follow up and ask what you scored? I actually scored very well, that is how I got offers...sm
Remember there are a lot of MTs looking for work right now with the economy, unhappiness at current company, etc. With so many MTs out there looking, it may take the person who contacts the company to spark interest? Best of luck to you and hang in there!

I took the test and scored
a 48. I was an open book multiple choice quiz. I had to look a few up but it did not seem too difficult. The recruiter called the same day and they seem like a great place to work. I accepted and started last week. So far everything is as expected, the trainer is very nice and they use my favorite software, EXText. Medware looks like my new home and all is well.

Ask how one scored? Usually one can be happy
to receive

passed ot not passed.
