RD Exam Study Schedule

Making a Study Schedule for the RD Exam

7/7/2014

Why You Should Make a Study Schedule:
- If you are studying during the summer, it's easy to get distracted

- If you have already started a job, you need to stay on track with the limited time you have for studying

- There is a lot of information, which can be overwhelming - having a schedule can remind you that you've already prepared and calm you down

- A study schedule breaks the material down into manageable parts

- You can account for big events, like weddings and graduations, and give yourself time-off from studying

The RD Exam has a lot of material on it, and unfortunately it's not all the practical things we learned in our dietetic internship. The food science, food service, and management domains can seem daunting, but if you plan when you're going to study what, you'll have something to fall back on when you feel overwhelmed.

Creating a study plan is a key step in using The Study Smarter Method for the RD exam. What is the Study Smarter Method? It's the study method I created to help RD2Be's like you prep for the exam - whether you're studying for the 1st time or the 10th.

You can learn more about the Study Smarter Method for the RD exam, download freebies for the RD exam (including information on how to set up your study calendar) at www.studysmartermethod.com.

Hello! I just wanted to thank you for providing the sheets for free! So many resources I've found offer things for a price and with the expense of the internship and review materials, I am so thankful to find something so helpful that's free! I have been struggling with getting myself to begin studying but I think now that I have a schedule, I will stick to it!
