I'm a nutritionist who's been putting off the WIC certification for almost a year now. Failed the first time with a 68 (needed a 75) and then a 70 on my second attempt. I was doing the same thing both times — just reading through the WIC regulations and hoping things would stick. Clearly that wasn't working.
What finally made the difference was actually doing a proper WIC practice test every single day for the last two weeks before my third attempt. I found that doing timed practice runs forced me to actually think through the nutrition assessment and eligibility criteria rather than just recognizing the right answer. I also built a study guide focused specifically on the breastfeeding promotion section and food package rules, which are heavily tested.
Ended up scoring an 82 on my third attempt. Happy to share what resources I used and which topic areas tripped me up the most. Anyone else studying for this right now or have tips to add?
