Canadian Dietetic R (collegeofdietitians.org)
- Read front to back!!
- Very important sections:
- Preparing to Take the Exam
- How to Read an Exam Question
- On the Day of the Exam
- Example Blueprint (Appendix H)
- Example Exam Questions (Appendix I)
- Example Exam Answers (Appendix J)
- Visit CDRE Exam website for all exam timing/date/registration details
- Visit College of Dietitians of Ontario for Jurisprudence and Professional Practice Resources (found here:
College of Dietitians - Jurisprudence & Professional Practice Resources)
- Go through all topic areas
- Scenarios, quizzes, videos etc.
- Collect all materials from your internship/undergrad degree to build study package that aligns with competencies (in prep guide – exam blueprint)
- Don’t forget about Food Services and Research materials!
- Review your black book!!!
- Print this off – easier than looking on your phone/computer
- Review your notes/re take Public Health Course on Dietitians of Canada
- Review the following for best practices on menu planning (specific for LTC but gives a good general idea)
- If you are looking for more practice exam questions, this course can be helpful
- Tips:
- Study for this exam like you would any exam!
- Choose the BEST answer (sometimes more than one answer is correct)
- Skip questions during exam if you aren’t able to answer them within a minute – time is precious!
- Review exam program formatting PRIOR to exam day.
- Good luck!
Take care,
