CSO exam- My experience taking the test the 1st time
My experience taking the CSO exam the 1st time
I studied for months before taking the September 2008, CSO exam. I felt confident that I would ace the exam. I memorized a lot of information from the Candidate Handbook. I created flashcards from the Oncology Nutrition Test Specifications; spent countless hours preparing for the big day. I assumed that my years of experience and months of studying would result in total confidence on exam day.
I had worked as an inpatient oncology dietitian at a large 500-bed hospital since 2004 and transitioned to the outpatient cancer center position in August 2008. Much to my surprise the CSO exam was challenging. I left the testing site sick to my stomach. I thought there was a good chance I would need to take the CSO exam again in March.
When I returned to work my supervisors, co-workers and a medical oncologist asked me if I passed. I honestly said, "I don't know. The exam was very difficult." I felt embarrassed for 6 weeks and waited on pins and needles to discover that I passed!
UPDATE:
It's been 11 years since I took the CSO exam the 1st time.
I recertified in 2013 & 2018. High stakes tests are always stressful- even after decades of practice experience.
But have faith, you can do it!

Most prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, cancers that arise in glandular cells of the prostate’s epithelial tissue.
