This portable, user-friendly resource enables readers to optimize their study time and improve their scores on the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE).

Detailed explanations at the end of each chapter provide a full understanding of the topics discussed, and up-to-date references facilitate further study if desired.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nice adjunct
This is a great book to carry with you and couple of question showed up on exam (in a slightly different wording)


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Decent Intern Book
This book is best suited for the harried intern. The questions highlight some important topics, but this book, at best, should serve as a minor adjunct to your reading regimen.

Although this is book is sold as a "pocket" type book that fits easily in your white coat, I found the book to be too heavy and cumbersome. A PDA version would be a huge improvement.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Absite Killer
I used this book for the Absite during my general surgery internship, but I found Absite killer to be more helpful. Absite killer is available for your PDA at absitekiller.com. I am not a general surgery resident, I just did my internship in general surgery to prepare me for ophthalmology residency. Absite killer is more suited for non-categoricals or if your time is limited. You will score at least the mean.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I Imporved my absite score 25 percentiles
All surgery residents should read this book; there is always at least 20 to 30 questions straight from the book in the real test.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My score improved 25 percentiles
All surgical residents should read this book beacuse it has many "test questions" that come up in the Absite year after year; its easy to read and you can carry it anywhere.
