Although the format of the questions is different than the Absite, the info is great. Tough questions with plenty of info to keep you busy. Aim to finish this book before the Absite and you'll be well-prepared (at least for the lower levels).

A must-have for surgery residents
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book will be extremely valuable to any general surgery resident--it addresses a wide range of general surgery and surgical subspecialty topics, contains hundreds of multiple choice questions, and provides need-to-know information with clear explanations. I recommend it as the primary source for in-training review and board exam review.
Great question & answer review book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Highly recommended for any general surgery resident, both for studying to increase your knowledge base during residency as well as preparing for boards after you graduate. Each chapter has a series of multiple choice questions that are immediately followed by answers and a few paragraphs discussion. I found this didactic format most helpful.
