Questions & Answers

How does the 2012-2013 edition differ from earlier editions?

The Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) reorganized the content of the exam beginning in 2012 based on the most recent practice audit. As a result, the weight (number of questions) from Domains changed and some content areas were added. While much information from previous editions remains, it was all reviewed and updated, and the following additional subjects were added:

  • 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
  • Anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of organ systems
  • Behavior Risk Factor
    Surveillance System
  • Communication skills
  • Counseling
  • Cultural content and diversity

How long does it take to get a book?

What is the difference between the printed and eBook?

The eBook version is pdf of each page of the manual so the content is the same although the format is different. Some students and instructors have requested an eBook, and this is the first edition available in an electronic format.

How much does the book cost?

The price of Review of Dietetics remains at $150., and that price has not changed for over a decade. You pay for shipping of the printed manual and state sales tax if the book is sent to an Illinois address.

If I buy the book, will I pass the exam?

That depends on how much you already know and how much you study the contents of the manual. Those who have used the manual often thank us and tell us that the manual was a great help and that they passed the RD exam.
