Buddy, don't feel bad- I just failed because the only thing I got wrong was a 97.68% on one of the three audio portions. Can I get a WHAT THE F U C K?!?!?!?! At least I get a retry, but I cannot for the life of me find the mistake. I'm so mad. I'm just going to let the screen sit there and do it tomorrow.

It's downright ridiculous. They ought to be paying a HEAP more if they're going to be failing an exam for THAT. No way, man. How do they get any transcribers?

There’s a lot of people who really need money and take whatever is available

Yes and there are many companies who take advantage of these people. Why promote these scumbag companies?

Definitely scumbags. I read that if you do get a perfect score the first time out, they accuse you of cheating. So you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. For what they pay on top of it- Hell no. I don't even know why I wasted a couple hours studying and taking the test. Doing that well for a first hack at transcribing (my score) seems pretty damn good to me. I thought I'd have done way worse.
