How to study for the Junior ABSITE
Surgery residents are expected to take the ABSITE exam each year of residency. First and second year general surgery residents take the Junior ABSITE. This exam is mostly basic science, with some clinical questions.
There are some who are extremely talented, and can take 1 week to study for the exam.
Does your score matter? Absolutely, and how well you do relative to your peers is what is important. If you score below a certain percentile set by your residency program, you might be placed on probation, and/or fired from your program.
Is my Absite score used in fellowship applications? Well, some residents seem to think that it does matter. Granted, who you know and where you trained matters significantly more than your ABSITE score.
Do preliminary residents have to take the exam? This depends on the program in which you are in. Of course, if you’re a prelim for general surgery, you want to do well. If you’re a prelim for another surgical specialty, your score probably won’t matter, and your goal might be to beat the categoricals (for fun).
