The importance of performing well on the ABSITE cannot be understated. Not only does the ABSITE have a major impact on resident promotion, but in many general surgery programs, failure to score within the 50th percentile or better on the ABSITE warrants academic probation and/ or required remediation. In order to avoid such extreme measures, working with a specialized ABSITE tutor is an excellent way to get ahead before taking your ABISTE exam.
