Testimonials
“I strongly recommend eatrightPREP® for future candidates preparing for the RD exam. I used eatrightPREP® as one of my primary resources and it was very helpful in preparing for the RD exam. The practice tests that simulate the actual exam format and evaluation of progress with each session helped me to identify areas that I needed to focus on to feel confident taking the RD exam. I passed the RD exam on my first try with a good score.”
“The eatrightPREP® pretest questions and simulation tests helped me to feel more confident walking into the RD exam. The motivational messages that popped up as my scores improved or I completed various tasks kept me going. I have already recommended eatrightPREP® to other students preparing to take the RD exam and will continue to do so. I believe it contributed to my success in passing the exam.”
“eatrightPREP® was so helpful for me to pass my RD exam. Its practical tests act as a simulator for the RD exam.”

What are some suggestions for how I can use eatrightPREP® in my dietetic internship program or class curriculum?
- Assign pretest questions or full-length practice tests to be completed as homework assignments.
- View historical reports of course engagement, which log when work was completed.
- Ask students/interns to create an action plan for studying for the registration exam based on their performance in the course. eatrightPREP® will identify the domains where they are performing well or need improvement, so students/interns can plan how they will review the topics that need improvement.
- Challenge students and interns to complete one practice test and one simulated test. Or, challenge them to complete all tests during their final semester!
- Encourage students and interns to submit the questions they answered incorrectly to the program director to improve internship or course experiences for next year’s cohort.
- Encourage students and interns to watch how their knowledge progresses over time by assigning them to complete the eatrightPREP® course as graduation nears. After taking an initial practice test, they will complete pretest questions to improve their knowledge. At the course’s mid-point, assign another practice test. A final set of prstest questions will be reviewed, and then a final exam!
