No time limits (usually) on transcription portion
Subject: No time limits (usually) on transcription portion

As far as posting test questions and waiting around for the answers, I would assume these questions were being asked about the transcription portion of the exam. Mind you, not all companies set a time limit for returning the transcription testing files to them. Tests I have taken in the past have been tough ones, as many as 4 parts, with testing time spanning a few days while waiting for the recruiter to grade each section.
*English grammar/punctuation skills. Pass this, you move on to the next.
*Medical terminology skills/medication uses/disease processes, etc. Pass this, advance again to the next.
*Transcription skills demonstrating all of the above plus your ear-ability. Pass this, whew...almost done with this testing stuff! On to the last step.
*Oral exam. Pass this, get an offer (hopefully for a lot more than 7 cpl considering ALL the testing you just passed). lol

Not all companies perform this kind of in-depth testing, but I think the ones that do are more interested in hiring an MT who will be able to taken off full QA within a day or two of being hired, as opposed to an MT that is not as familiar/experienced with this employ.

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.

I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN.  Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading.  Hope that helps!
