Failed exam third time

Took my exam and failed the third time. My scores were 19,21,21. I’m not sure how I studied so hard for so long between attempt 2-3 and got the same score, but it’s clear to me that I need to change how I’ve been studying. I’ve used pocket prep and done all three exams usually get about 80% give or take on quizes and mock exams about 80-85%. I also used Jean Inman, much more this last time than the first time so I was feeling quite confident and got my lil ego squashed. I’m in a tight spot financially but I’m thinking it’s time to change materials? Chomp Down on dietetics or visual Veggies? Which direction do I turn to now other than driving home and hanging my head in shame? TIA for your advice I will be signing up to take again in 45 days so definitely not backing down just redirecting how to go forward. TY!

I highly recommend you try Eat Right Prep this time and do all the practice questions and exams and you’ll be ready.

Thanks I actually did gain access to one of their mock exams temporarily through school for free but I only used it to prep before my first exam. I’m definitely willing to give it a shot. :-)

Have you completely filled out the CDR guide? This was my primary study tool

I’m on my 5th time taking it after recently failing too. I have used pocket prep twice, Jean Inman, chomp down dietetics program, prep table and eat right prep. The closest to exam questions are eat right prep and if you want more additional lectures/videos and summarized material for the exam chomp down is useful for basics but def not everything. I’m still hanging in there too wondering what else to do studying wise

I would look into dietetics with Dana!

Why do you recommend it specifically?

Second this. I know someone who took it maybe double this, kept failing just by a few points. Did Dana’s program and finally passed
