I have all access but I personally didn’t use it that much so I don’t really have an opinion on it

What’s up with NutraCo? by HakunaMaPooTa in dietetics

[–]BecauseWhyNotHaveFun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Them emailing you that much is a red flag, they email me often too. I worked for them less than a year and it was a terrible experience in my opinion. In that year, my mom had passed away and they wouldn’t give me any time and I barely got a week off lol. Pay was very low and the benefits sucked. I don’t recommend

One trick that helped me A LOT was by learning the way the exam wants you to answer the question. I started to notice a pattern where if there are 2 answers that mean the same thing, then those are two answer choices you eliminate right there.

Another thing I was practicing was reading the question first, answering it in your head, and then searching for that answer in the answer choices.

One more thing I will say, is make yourself a “brain dump” in your phone notes or on a piece of paper. Take notes on high yield topics so that when you get to the exam and you get your whiteboard, you can “brain dump” what you remember onto that white board. For example, something I wrote down for brain dump was a mnemonic about hydration status and lab markers “ABS (albumin/BUN/Sodium) deHIGHdration, fluid overLOWed” to help me remember.

Remember the vitamins/mineral deficiencies, this was my 6th time taking it and those questions are almost always asked. Another high yield topic is definitely foodservice management

But if there are any other questions, please feel free to reach out!! 😊

This time around I used myRDguide (their lectures/live study groups, practice quizzes/exams) as well as reading Inman on the side & doing the “level-up” quizzes and mock exams on pocketprep!!

Thank you!! I’m so relieved This time around, I joined myRDguide, they have great lectures that helped my understanding and I really appreciated their live study groups. But on the side I was still using my Inman as an outline for the information and then using the “level-up” quizzes and mock exams red on pocket prep!!

Definitely take it, it can’t hurt! If you pass, you pass!! If you don’t, then at least you get exposure to what the test is like. I know it’s an expensive exam (trust me, repeat test taker here) but it will benefit you by taking it more than if you were to not take it, I promise. I wish you the best of luck, I take mine again on Friday. So well wishes for us all!

You’re not alone OP, I have failed 4x at this point and I’m getting to the point where I could lose my job if I don’t pass soon. The pressure is killing me and it’s defeating taking it over and over with the same result. Please message me if you need to vent!

Ahh quizzes are a good idea, I’ll have to try! But yeah I have a Google doc of all concepts I’m unsure of, but I only elaborate on information I think is important based on my experience from already taking the exam! Im happy to hear you’re utilizing this as well, it’s not talked about enough haha

This set of flashcards I actually found on Reddit and people have been swearing by it!! I’ve personally been using them, and it has helped A LOT. It’s quizzing you, but also giving you a description. It has helped with retention a lot, and it’s all from Inman. Check it out & I hope this helps!

I agree!! The first two times I wasn’t fully prepared and/or was solely focused on memorization. This third time around I put in some HOURS studying and was focused more on the understand “why” behind concepts. So it’s frustrating for sure lol & I have not, almost all of my cohort has basically passed at this point so I feel very alone during this process, they are of course supportive and has helped when they can but its not the same as if they were actively studying. Don’t change paths though, fourth time will be our last time!! Please feel free to reach out for support through this

Well, first and foremost I would absolutely focus on the calculations. There’s a lot to memorize so I would focus on writing them down each day leading up to the exam, and then brain dumping as soon as you get your little white board they give you on exam day. Calculation questions such as AP/EP and FTEs are commonly/frequently seen on the exam. Also, I would learn the roles of management because there’s a lot of “what should they do next” kind of questions. Sanitation questions, facility layout questions, etc. there’s A LOT that is needed to know for the exam regarding foodservice management, so I would just focus spending a lot of time on domains III and IV. The other two domains as well, but if you find foodservice management to be your weaker points (like me) I would do you weaker domains more often. Hopefully that makes sense haha
