Very disappointing automated exam process.
Because I'm an accomplished transcriber, I read the 31-page Style Guide before taking the Exam. Immediately got 100% on ten Style Guide questions.
First time on transcription test, failed two of three, with 80+% accuracy. On 2nd attempt, failed all 3 transcription tests with 80+% accuracy.
Transcribe Me! Isn't looking for talent, you just need to know how to format text for their automated system review, based on their 31-page 2014 Style Guide (it's NOT about accuracy/grammer/punctuation/speed).
Now I know why Transcribe Me! doesn't respond to questions on why/how applicants Fail their hiring exam.
Test transcripts poor quality recordings are a real example of what one can expect to receive as work.

The test was a bit tedious but it was made easier by the study guide. The most difficult part was the actual transcription, which was very difficult to hear properly.

Question 1
Various questions that were found in the study guide.
Simples, é só ler o site e depois estudar os documentos que eles disponibilizam, depois tem que realizar o teste e tentar passar. Tem até duas tentativas, se errar as duas tem que esperar 30 dias para realizar o teste novamente.

They have multiple choice questions and an audio test. You have to study their guidelines seriously and headphones will really help. They'll make you transcribe based on their style and see whether you can follow instructions well.
