The August group had it's last class last week and we already have our first pass! Congrats to Breanna, RD!
What made you choose to work with Dana?
"I chose to work with Dana because I was having a hard time grasping some of the topics on the RD exam; I received low practice question scores and felt like I needed extra support. There are a lot of RD Exam tutors out there, but I found Dana's Facebook group and immediately wanted to connect with her due to her positive demeanor and knowledge as well as student reviews and affordability of tutoring programs."
How did you find the exam? Which topics did you find most difficult? Was it what you expected?
"The exam was a little different than what I expected. I have heard mixed reviews about the questions but thought the phrasing was most similar to Inman. I remembered to read the questions thoroughly, eliminate answers that didn't make sense, and applied what I learned throughout my studying. The strategies I learned from Dana's tutoring group and Chomping Down the Dietetic Exam podcast helped me make it through the exam!"
What aspects of this course were most useful or valuable?
"I found all of the aspects of the course to be super useful! I loved having videos to watch and take notes on every week because writing down the information and hearing it helped me retain and learn it more effectively. I also enjoyed having homework every week because it assisted in "mind to muscle memory" and gave me a different way of studying. In addition, Dana provided feedback on our homework every week as well which was very beneficial to understand why a certain answer was incorrect. It was super helpful to dive into more TF calculations for the Domain II homework and math equations for the Domain III homework rather than reading it in the Inman study guide. The visuals in the videos also helped me out a lot because I am a visual learner and seeing pictures put concepts into perspective, especially can sizes! :) I appreciated the examples and explanations that Dana provided the most. Dana gave us a lot of examples in Domains III and IV (ie. types of power, managerial roles, foodborne illnesses, etc.) that stuck with me throughout my studying. "
Review of Course:
"I found Dana's tutoring sessions to be super beneficial! I loved how she gave us the opportunity to ask questions during the beginning of each class and provided practice questions as well as rationales to explain why each answer was correct. Dana was always available to answer questions I had via email, and I never felt like I was unsupported throughout my time working with her! :)"
