You’re not alone if…
- You feel overwhelmed by how much there is to study for the RD exam and don’t know where to start.
- You want a clear plan, not just another pile of notes.
- You’ve heard that CDRE pass rates are declining and feel anxious about what that means for you.
- You’re worried about failing, or you're picking yourself up after an attempt that didn’t go as planned.
- You’re an educator trying to better support your students, but finding reliable, structured CDRE exam prep tools is a challenge.
Introducing the CDRE Exam Prep Program, by Dietitian Success Center!
We designed this program based on feedback from both students and educators, with one clear goal: to help you approach your CDRE exam preparation with structure, clarity, and confidence.
Here's what's included...
🗺️ Structured Study Roadmap
- A detailed study outline guiding you toward key topics to know as you prep for the CDRE.
- We provide the framework — a clear list of steps, concepts, and practice areas to craft your CDRE study guide. You use your own class notes, textbooks, and resources to fill in the details.
- Why don’t we give you pre-made notes? Because research (and experience) shows that actively creating your own study notes is one of the most powerful ways to learn and retain information. When you engage with the material, write things down in your own words, and organize concepts for yourself, you’re building the critical thinking and recall skills you’ll need on exam day. If we handed you pre-written notes, you might read them passively — but you wouldn’t absorb or remember them the same way.
- The Roadmap gives you the structure. Your notes make it stick.
- This way, you leave behind the overwhelm of “where do I start?” and instead follow a structured outline, while still benefiting from the retention that comes from actively studying and creating your personal CDRE study guide.
📝 Practice Questions (248 Total)
Get the practice you’ve been looking for — with 248 exam-style questions designed to reflect the style and reasoning of the Canadian Dietetic Registration Examination (CDRE).
Here’s what’s included:
- 155 Practice Questions by Key Competency So you can test your knowledge as you learn. These are perfect for reinforcing key concepts and identifying gaps early.
- 93-Question Mock Exam A timed CDRE practice exam simulation that mirrors the structure and pacing of the real exam. This allows you to rehearse under exam conditions and build test-day confidence.
- Detailed Answer Keys & Rationales Every single question comes with a breakdown explaining why the correct answer is right and why the others are wrong. This way, you don’t just memorize answers — you understand the reasoning process you’ll need on exam day.
- Unlimited Re-Takes All questions and the full mock exam can be repeated as many times as you’d like. This allows you to track progress, build confidence, and review difficult areas without limits.
👩🏽💻 CDRE Practice Exam
-
One of the most effective ways to prepare for the Canadian Dietetic Registration Examination (CDRE) is to practice under real exam-like conditions — and that’s exactly what our on-demand practice exam lets you do.
Available Anytime - You can take the 93-question CDRE practice exam whenever it fits into your study journey — early on to identify gaps, mid-way to track progress, or closer to the exam for final review.
-
Virtual Simulation - the practice exam is designed to be half the length of the actual exam. This helps you rehearse pacing, focus, and endurance — without being overwhelming.
-
Realistic Exam Experience - you’ll work through a full set of case-based and knowledge-style questions in a format that feels like the real test environment. This is intended to give you the practice you need to manage timing and reduce nerves on exam day.
-
Detailed Answer Key & Rationales - once you’ve completed the exam, you’ll receive comprehensive rationales for every question — explaining why each answer is right or wrong — so you can immediately identify your strengths and areas to revisit.
-
Take the mock exam as many times as you’d like throughout your access period. It’s your built-in way to measure progress and practice test-taking skills at any point in your prep.
✅ Exam Strategy & Confidence Lessons
- Preparing for the CDRE exam isn’t just about what you know — it’s about how you study and how you perform under pressure. That’s why this program includes a set of short, practical lessons focused on strategy, mindset, and exam-day skills. Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Study Techniques How to set up your study schedule, avoid cramming, and stay consistent over weeks and months.
- Time Management for the Exam Strategies for pacing yourself through a long multiple-choice exam, so you don’t get stuck on one question or run out of time.
- How to Approach Multiple-Choice Questions Step-by-step methods for breaking down complex questions, ruling out distractors, and making confident choices even when you’re unsure.
- Managing Exam-Day Stress Practical tips to reduce test anxiety, calm nerves, and show up focused and ready.
- Confidence-Building Tools How to shift from “I’m not ready” to “I’ve got this,” using mindset and preparation techniques.
📑 Study Sheets & Quick References
-
Sometimes you just need the essentials, presented in a way that’s clear, concise, and easy to review at a glance. That’s why this program includes a library of CDRE study guide cheat sheets and quick-reference guides covering the most important exam themes.
-
These one-page tools take complex topics and break them down into visual, practical summaries you can return to again and again.
🩵 Private Community Forum
- Studying for the CDRE doesn’t have to feel isolating. As part of the program, you’ll get access to a private online forum exclusively for students preparing for the exam.
- Connect with peers who are also working on their CDRE exam prep.
- Ask questions and get clarity when you’re stuck.
- Share study tips and resources.
