Customer Reviews

good to use

This is a very nice review in a pocket-sized version that allows you to easily carry it around. The style is the same as the earlier edition though this is now in color. It is set up in a bullet-point high-yield style and can be read quickly. Just remember that it is designed for ABSITE review not as the definitive source for anything.

concise review, excellent resource

this book is designed to be a concise, topic based review for the absite. it is the most efficient way to spend your time, although the outline format is boring. people that write a negative review don't get the point.

the only review for the ABSITE

I had the previous version, and bought this one when mine disappeared from a call room. Even better than the first edition. There really isn't anything else available that compares. If you know this material, a good to excellent score should follow.

Terrific resource

My program director recommended this book, and I found it to be clear, concise, and comprehensive. Previously, I had used Rush, but I found that reading this book as I was answering Rush questions helped me to retain more information. My Absite scores improved considerably this year! This small book is well worth the $40 investment.

The best single review source for the test

My most sincere admiration goes to Dr. Fiser. This is my third year of looking for the best material for the ABSITE. So far the Michigan Review is my favorite one, but now that I just finished reading "The ABSITE Review" I must say it's my #1. There were hardly any Mich. questions that I couldn't find answers for in this book. I am very impressed with Dr. Fiser's clarity of thoughts. He makes all subjects seem so easy through logical, straightforward explanations. No wonder he's now at one of the world's top fellowships... The bottom line is that I would recommend reading a textbook as you see cases all year round and about 2-3 months before the test focus on reading this gem over and over again.
