HOW TO PASS THE RD EXAM | My Studying Essentials + Lots of Tips!

[@hannahkarl1889]

Can you do a video on your experience being dietitian in a 9-5 job (things you liked/didn't like)/finding a job as an RD after you passed? Also I would love to see a house tour!

[@lizzieturbett7444]

yes yes yes to all of this!!

[@rebekahmatznick_rd]

Hey Hannah! I am a Dietitian as well and I work 8-5 at WIC (Women, Infants, and Children). After passing the RD it really depends on where you live and what opportunities there are around you, but a lot of jobs are hospital jobs! I am one that really likes community nutrition so I like to be out in the community rather than a hospital so it was kind of hard for me to find something. I love the routine, but also hate it ha. I don't like sitting at a desk for 8 hours in a day but it pays the bills and I get to talk about nutrition which is what I love!

[@hannahkarl1889]

great! thanks!

[@morgansiniawa511]

I’m in a group of 10 interns, and we were given our dietetic internships through our university so we had the pleasure of shoving our undergrad and internships all in 4 years. We are in our final semester now and one of the interns sent this video in our group chat tonight as we were stressing over our prep course. Thank you for all the info! It’s nice to see someone so positive in the field :)

[@keyounger123]

Thanks for sharing Becca! I'm planning to take the exam soon so this was super helpful!

[@seleenuh2]

I'll be taking my exam this summer :) im so nervous, yet excited! Thank you for sharing this...perfect timing 🤗 I have the Inman review and I'm also studying the Huss manual.

[@sydneynarzabal1889]

This was super helpful! I'm finishing up my internship/Master's degree in May. Thanks for all the info and advice!!

Hi! I wanted to leave a comment supporting your channel, your education and your content. So hard to find balanced healthy videos that are also relatable. I live in Mexico and I don't have access to as many grade A or organic choices, but your videos are inspiring and move me to do the best that I can. I have a husband who is a picky eater and I used to live a somewhat sheltered life (I mean that groceries were bought by someone else and I had a paid cook) before my marriage, so it's been hard trying to put healthy food at the table, week in and week out, with basically no knowledge or practice. But as you hoped at the end of your "infamous video" (lol), you have definitely helped me with knowing my way around the produce section! Not scared of buying asparagus the next time a go grocery shopping! Keep on keeping on! You eat a lot more plant based than I do. Not an ounce of shame in that. People need to learn how to express their thoughts without being insulting. I have no idea where they get that they are more entitled to express an opinion than the next person. And just a side note for anyone who got this far and is planning on going for my throat, I take care of over 100 stray cats and about 20 dogs out of my own pocket. I also don't wear or support real fur products or own any exotic leather goods. I try to do my part with what is laid out before me. I just don't see veganism working for me.

[@avery_estelle]

Thank you Becca!! I'm hoping to get matched for my internship soon, but I feel like in this field I can never be prepared enough so these videos are so helpful to me!

[@perspectiveportions]

Yes, I recognized that binder immediately.

[@CharleneAfrik]

What’s the name of the binder?

[@jennalemar1230]

Absolutely love your videos! Can you do an updated morning routine, along with an evening routine?

[@EmilyBartleyRDN]

Thank you so much! I'm in undergrad and SUPER stressed about taking the RD exam even though that's not for a few years! This helped de-stress me so much! thank you!

[@DarkBlueNutrition]

Just graduated from my internship/grad program and I’m studying for my exam now, Becca!! Woohoo I’m so excited 💕💕 love that you made these videos because I’ve watched all your internship ones several times during my internship process 😆

[@JillWags22]

SO helpful! I'm finishing my internship in May and we are going to a 2 day Jean Inman course in Pittsburgh. It's nice to hear that it really is worth it

[@BeccaBristow]

I'm so glad Jillian!! You are definitely in good hands, it is SO worth it!! I wish you the best of luck! xx

[@samanthapotter2786]

Thank you for making this video ! It was very helpful. I also would like to see one where you talk about life after passing the exam i.e. Job searching, things you like/didn't like, advice

[@chantellefaul2011]

This was super helpful! I definitely study like you. I will be making worksheets like you did. They look really great!

[@xXabbylou]

Thank you!! I'll be finishing my internship in august and this was super helpful :)

[@DanielleDane]

This is awesome Becca, thanks!

[@misselleterese6761]

Thank you! I just started my internship so I won't be taking the exam for a while, but it's good to start thinking about it. Just learned about Billroth II in class today haha!

[@rebekahmatznick_rd]

The Jean Inman study guide is great and that is what I used! I also did a lot of practice questions! I passed the first time!

[@TheIsyk]

Thanks for sharing! its so interesting to see how the dietetics programme is different in different countries. Where I studied, we had a 4 year undergrad which included our honours and internship ( we didn't have get matched, or apply for it. Our university placed at at various places for the year. ) Then after our internship we had written and oral exams for therapeutic nutrition, community nutrition and food service.. and then the combined scores of the written and orals exams as well as our scores from our internship determined whether we passed or not. Our exams weren't multiple choice though. It was mostly case study type questions and then for our oral exams it was actual dummy runs in a hospital setting for therapy, and sit down oral exams with a panel of lecturers from our university and other unis and some from the department of health.

[@laceymaerazer]

Brought me to tears of happiness at the end.

[@CharleneAfrik]

What’s the name of the review?

[@evacarranza7939]

Hey Becca! Would you be willing to share your RD exam self-made notes? I really like how creative they are! Thank you for your awesome video! I have watched this video multiple times for motivation and just to remind myself how I can study for the exam!! I'm still in my internship, but I plan on taking the exam in the next 2 months!

[@ccap3211]

You should do a "the skinny on" video on jellies/jams. Especially since you've done one on bread and one in peanut butter!

[@savh633]

This is great! I'm going to school in the fall to study dietetics!

[@suzannesherrill921]

Thanks! already looking into resources as i'm 1 year into my CP program.

[@amberalexis8171]

I have been using the Jean Inman and the Breeding & Associates at the same time, which I have found to be helpful (they complement each other - info that's lacking from one is found in the other). I have my exam later this month!

[@brittanyblanco7176]

Thank you for the advice! I'm still an undergraduate student but I'll be applying for internships soon. Could you do a video on internships and the process of applying and choosing them? Thanks!

[@E.I.C.C_Onwer]

Could you do a video all about how to become an RD? Like from choosing a school and how long you went to school, any online. then any internships you had to do or just what all it entailed. I'm really interested!

[@rebekahmatznick_rd]

Hey Judi! I am an RD so thought I could help answer this question! To become and RD you have to get a Bachelor's at an accredited institution in Dietetics! You can find a list if you google it I believe. Then you have to apply for a year-long (most of them are unpaid) internship so that you can get your practice hours! In order to do the internship you have to have your bachelors in Dietetics and it's a centralized application process! After that you can sit for the exam! The internship is super competitive- I didn't get one the first time but did the second time around! Hope that helps!

[@theveganrd5770]

Rebekah Lea Nutrition you can also apply to a bachelors coordinated program in dietetics where your internship is within your 4 years of schooling :) def the best option if there is a coordinated program near you!

[@MadetoOrderNutrition]

Great tips! I will say; I purchased the RD in a Flash flashcards and for me it was a total waste of money. There are just a ridiculous amount of cards with an excessive amount of information on them. Some of the stuff on them I had never even heard of and was definitely unnecessary to know for the exam. I never even made it through all of flash cards once. Just my two cents for anyone thinking about getting them!

[@BeccaBristow]

Thanks Melissa! And I can totally see that there are SO MANY cards!! When I was skimming through them online I was like how would anyone ever be able to get through these enough times for them to be beneficial?? Craziness haha

[@iop1188]

Can you share for what topics you made the worksheets? I know you said vitamins and minerals, management approaches & theories, foodborne illnesses and government programs. What others did you do?

[@jjacksonmsrd8496]

Some times some used study guides can be found on ebay

[@elexishamby3940]

What topics did your worksheets review? Could you provide a list?

[@erinjacinto6946]

Was just wondering if I could get the full pages of your worksheets. I have these really helpful but need some help sorting out all the papers. I take my RD exam in 10 days!!!!!

[@nutritiongenius9593]

Hi, Becca - I love your video! I'll share it with the RD eligibles I'm helping to pass the RD exam. I know they'll love your fresh take on it. Thanks for making it and sharing your wisdom and your advice. :-)

[@BeccaBristow]

Aw thank you so much for watching & especially for sharing it!! I really appreciate it! :)

[@gabrielam9849]

Wow this was so useful! Thank you!

[@khushipranav5799]

[@Princess97895]

Great video!!! The exam was hard. I can only imagine how the certified diabetes educator exam is. It's 4 hours long and will be taking it next year

[@colleene1085]

Hi Becca! Do you think the Jean Inman would be useful for the Canadian RD exam? Other than obviously the government area?

[@lizzieturbett7444]

LIKED BEFORE I EVEN STARTED WATCHING BC IM A DIETETICS STUDENT AND THE EXAM SCARES ME SHITLESS LOL!! thank you so much for this!! more videos like this pls!!

[@ayeshaleexo6544]

OMG! That’s the most informative video with all the great tips. You did a great job! May God bless you with all the good things, Amen 🙏 idk if I should ask but can you send me the pictures of your written papers? That’ll be very helpful

[@CharleneAfrik]

What is the name of the name of that binder?

[@DarkBlueNutrition]

Becca, how many months did you study before taking the RD exam? By the way- this made me so excited to see you post this!!! Watching now but also reviewing after December when I'll be beginning the study process! This helps so much. I start my internship soon and I'm a little anxious. I feel so prepared from my undergrad (a very rigorous program!) and from grad school... but I'm so nervous for some reason! Maybe you could make an updated video on tips to starting your internship? Much love xoxo 😘

[@DarkBlueNutrition]

My bad! I must have missed that!

[@freshfitnhealthy]

Taking it soon girl! Woo :)

[@BeccaBristow]

Ahh hope the studying is going well!! Best of luck girlfriend! xx

[@prityislam2242]

Which RD exam have u passed ? I mean from Canada or America?

[@hollywren786]

I'm in my final year of school and considering becoming an RD. Do you know if this exam is universal or specific to the US? I'm in Australia and just kind of want to know if the process here is the same as it is in the US

[@rebekahmatznick_rd]

Haha yes. The beginning was totally me! My binder looked exactly like that- all the highlights. So glad its over!! WOO HOO! Never have to do the exam again!

[@BeccaBristow]

Haha yes thanks GOD it's over! I hadn't even looked at the binder since I took the exam like a year and half ago and I was getting some serious flashbacks looking through it lol

[@rebekahmatznick_rd]

Haha yes. Omg sitting there for hours upon hours highlighting things and listening to Jean Inman... ugh haha. Worth it though!!

[@melvinbernardino6683]

What is the name of this booklet

[@elizabethcervantes3957]

I found you not too long ago, and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!❤️ I'm reading as much as I can about this interesting field. I know there's like a test dietitians take every year or every other year, after becoming RD. Unless I misunderstood lol😅 I have a couple of questions. What kind of test do you take every year? What does it cover or what does it review? Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@BeccaBristow]

Aw thank you so much!! And omg no way you only have to take the RD exam once! Lol you do have to complete continuing education though (you have to obtain 75 credits every 5 years) in order to keep your credential, or you have to take the test again

[@elizabethcervantes3957]

Oh ok😄 Thank you so much for your answer! 😊❤️ I know I have a long way to go, but God willing, I'll get it done😃

how do you keep your teeth so white? lmao I know you drink coffee every day

[@ccap3211]

Gabriela Londono some people just have naturally whiter teeth than other people. When I got my teeth whitened my dentist said that 10 people could use the same teeth whitener and all have different results. Some people's teeth will only lighten to a certain point and others will lighten a lot more.
