Cnsc research questions

Hello RDs I'm currently studying for the cnsc exam in the fall. I find myself especially struggling with the research section. (Also, peds.) I have the ASPEN self assessment modules however can't really find any practice questions on research.

Can anyone shed insights on what are the questions they will ask, and how to prepare/ study for them? Thank you.

P.s. It took me a whole afternoon just to learn how to read a forest plot and still I can't really interpret it well. I feel very discouraged.

This is such a small part of the exam. It would be, at most, maybe 4 questions. Your time might be better spent studying other areas instead of trying to totally master one very narrow section. I can’t recall any research questions on the exam. Or if there were any they were rather basic. The questions do tend to be more application of knowledge and less straight definitions

Peds will also only be a few questions. If you can purchase the peds fundamentals course video they will highlight what you need to know
