While scrolling to the comment section I saw a few mentions of “Do you have …” so I understand if you’ve already given them away or cannot share the resources since they were given to you originally, but I was wondering if by chance you still had any online study guides? I am from Canada, but I imagine the guides would be applicable and very helpful to reference as I begin preparing for the Canadian Registration Dietetic Exam that takes place in Ontario in November. I really appreciate that you reminded your readers that we have “taken harder tests” as I am so nervous, despite being a great student and intern. I suppose I feel as though I don’t know how to adequately prepare since the Canadian guidelines aren’t too thorough in providing practice questions or topic overviews.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this comment and reply. Again, it’s certainly okay if you cannot provide any additional tips or resources, and I appreciate that you wrote this post in the first place. I know it’s been some time since you passed, but Congratulations non the less.

Great practical tools. I am finishing my intern soon and consider myself a poor test taker, even though I didn’t fail any while doing my undegrad. I will definitely try your methods not only for the RD, but my CDM as well.

Thank you for all the info on how to study for the RD, I’m planning to take it in a few months and this will help me a lot. Thanks for doing this for the rest of us RDtobe.

In reply to Rubí. I was able to get it for free because I have a blog and could review it.

Congratulations and thank you for all those helpful tips. I’ve been trying to find a cheaper way to get my hands on the Visual Veggies software. Can you please explain how did you got your hands on this software for free?

Thanks

In reply to Caitlin. I still would have done visual veggies. I think it was helpful to practice questions, even if they were slightly different than the test questions. I think they still helped indirectly. But writing and rewriting definitely helps me the most!

Hi Lindsay,

I’m considering getting Visual Veggies since I already have Inman and am thinking it would be good to go through practice questions with explanations. I noticed that you said the practice questions were a lot different than the actual questions on the exam. Knowing what you know now, would you have still done Visual Veggies as much as you did or would you have focused more on Inman and your notes? Would you have done Visual Veggies at all?

I definitely learn by writing, too, so I’m going to do what you did and write and re-write! 🙂

Thanks!
Caitlin

In reply to Katie. I think the two tests were pretty similar question-wise...the RD one was just longer and covered a wider range of information. Honestly I thought i wasn't going to pass while taking the actual test. You just have to trust your studying and keep plugging along. Don't overthink the questions.

Hi Lindsay,
I will be taking my DTR exam in June. All these tips are helping me and i have also found that the visual veggies and Jean Inman have helped. In your opinion, if you can remember what are the differences between the DTR exam and the RD exam. Did you feel you needed to prepare for the DTR less than the RD exam? Also how hard did you actually study for the DTR exam. I am a TERRIBLE test taker and have pretty bad anxiety. I always get in my own head about these things so I want to be as prepared as possible about what to expect. I just wanna know how hard the exam really was for the DTR.
Thanks,
Katie
