Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 out of 5 stars
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.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Pass the ABSITE- Pass this book up
There are several other publications out there that will serve you better than this one. The Rush Review is a good comprehensive review, maybe a bit tougher that the ABSITE questions. Basic Science for Surgeons is very relevant if it doesn't put you to sleep. The Michigan Review obtained through the University of Michigan Website is fantastic, but expensive. The ABSITE Killer is the best and cheapest book I have found. Not a complete study guide, but a good focused reference source. Unfortunately your program might have to do some research to order these booklets, the cost is between $12 to $15, try noelle@peoplespc.com
