I get asked a lot from RDs2Be what study material they should choose. There used to be very few options but now, there are more options which is great. But with more options, it means you have to make more decisions. And that can be exhausting when you're this close to wrapping up this chapter of your educational career.  So I wanted to do a review of the study materials available and give a little advice that I hope will help you with this question.  And remember, the goal is to simply pass. Even if you JUST pass. Even if you just squeeze by. No one cares. Once you're a dietitian, the score you got on the exam is completely irrelevant. A pass is a pass! So just keep focused on squeezing past the finish line.  This is what you'll learn in this episode: The different study materials available on the market.  My personal advice on how to go about choosing study material that works best for you and why I recommend you pick ONE study resource to study from The importance of getting a hold of your perfectionism and imposture syndrome - speaking from experience And I give 5 shout outs to new RD's who joined the RD community.
