What Gives?

Over the past 3 weeks, I have spent at least 40+ hrs. a week on my computer. I have taken countless numbers of tests, put in no telling how many applications, and changed my resume at least 4 different times. On all of the test that I have taken, I used the AAMT Style, and failed every one. I had my cousin, who's an MT for Spheris, check all of my work. She's been doing this for over 9 years, and she signed off on every test, stating that if it were her company, she would hire me. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I have passed all of the written part of every test, it's just the transcription part that I fail. Should I maybe apply to some jobs that want experience, and explain to them that I would be happy to take less cpl just for the experience? I don't want to hurt any mt's in the field, but now that India and other foreign countries have most of the jobs, it just seems like the only way to get hired, is to take less money. I have got to go to work and soon. I am in desperate times. I have neglected my husband, my children, and my friends in pursuit of finding work. I am so tired, and I feel like is so dark from my spot. I just don't know what to do anymore. Does anyone have any advice on how the tests are supposed to be formatted? The companies don't usually tell you what they want, and now on most of them that hire newbies, I have to wait anywhere from 3-6 months before I can apply again. All of your help is much appreciated.
