One of the most common questions I get as a registered dietitian exam tutor is "When should I schedule my exam?" A lot of people think that they should just grab the first date after they graduate from their dietetic internship to "just get it done" or they schedule it for 4 weeks from the DI completion date without thinking if this is the good amount of time. Before schedule your dietitian exam there are 3 questions that you need to ask yourself: 1) How much have you prepared before this moment in time?
Did your internship and schooling give your a solid base knowledge on the exam topics?
Has you previously bee reading Inman or doing practice questions?
Did your DI give your real world experience that will allow you to answer situational questions?
2) What will your schedule be like over the next few weeks?
Are you starting to work right away?
Did you want to go on vacation to celebrate being done?
Are you feeling burnt out and need a break from learning/studying?
3) How many topics on the exam do you know that you struggle with?
Has math always been difficult for you?
Do you have testing anxiety?
Do you feel prepared for the clinical questions?
The answers to these questions will be different for everyone so you shouldn't schedule your exam date at a time just because your friend is waiting 3 weeks to the exam or because your DI director told you to take it in 2 weeks after finishing. If you take the exam too soon you are going to end up having to pay another $200 and have to wait 45 days. When in doubt...push it out! Looking for some extra guidance?

What was your favorite aspect of your program? “The live classes were great and a super focused learning time for me. I also LOVE the Facebook lives on Sunday! Those really do makeup hours and hours of free tutoring! One on ones with Dana were life-giving! Plus, her recorded classes and her teaching style helped me learn so much! The content really stuck for me after seeing/hearing her lectures.” -Hayley (Score=27)
