If you want to work as a dietitian, and you have an exam approaching, you could use some assistance from a Varsity Tutors CDR test preparation program. The Commission on Dietetic Registration exam, or CDR, is a test that you need to take in order to become a registered dietitian. Do you feel that a CDR prep service would benefit you? Please reach out to an educational consultant for more information about our CDR preparation programs.
You have to meet certain academic requirements in order to be eligible for CDR testing. First, you need to obtain a bachelor's degree. You also have to complete a Didactic Program in Dietetics that received accreditation from ACEND (Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics).
The CDR covers four sections: Principles of Dietetics, Nutrition Care for Individuals and Groups, Management of Food and Nutrition Programs and Services, and Foodservice Systems. Here are the number of questions and topics the exam contains:
Exam Question Details

Scored Questions | 100 | 120 |
Pre-test Questions (Unscored) | 25 | 25 |
Exam Topic Examples (Non-Comprehensive)

CDR tutoring offers lessons that provide you one-on-one attention with a skilled instructor. These CDR tutors are experienced in test preparation, and they are looking forward to working with students looking toward advancing their education..
Because the sessions are in a one-on-one environment, a CDR class lets you take in information in a way that complements your learning style. For example, if you learn better by listening and taking notes, you can have your instructor give you a lecture on a dietary-related topic. You can also request a CDR course tutor to help you stay on track. Perhaps you want someone to assist you with time management. In CDR classes, a tutor can monitor your study hours, then give you tips on how to make better use of your time. Do you need more clarity on a topic, like sanitation and safety? Some students learn better if an instructor explains something by utilizing images as well as a lecture. A CDR prep tutor can study a topic with you at whatever pace you need to help you understand it better. We take pride in the fact that our CDR test prep programs assist pupils in a variety of ways.
Before you take the CDR exam, there are rules and information you need to know. Below is a list of requirements and considerations:
Important Requirements and Considerations (Non-Comprehensive)
- Examination Application
- Code of Ethics
- Application Procedures
- Test Center Information
- Exam Content
If you need to go over any of the exam content, a CDR test prep tutor can help you do that. You can spend time in CDR courses reviewing with practice exams, flashcards, or any other study method of your choice.
Each CDR test prep session takes place in a virtual environment, enabling you to communicate with a tutor from the comfort of home or anywhere else with a steady internet connection. We offer a Live Learning Platform that is easy to use with any device. We know that taking the time to go to a tutoring session can be difficult, so we have removed the barrier of commuting to your class. Are you eager to join a CDR prep program? Then email or call an educational consultant at Varsity Tutors to begin signing up for one of our CDR test prep services.
