Sasha, Resident Physician General SurgeryMy program director was shocked that all I had used to study for ABSITE was TrueLearn. I did all of the questions at least once and studied from the explanations and each answer choice and scored at the 87th percentile. I am very pleased with Truelearn.

Abdulrahman, Resident Physician General SurgeryFor what may be the biggest exam of my life, I trusted TrueLearn to help me solidify my surgical knowledge and assure my future for myself, my family, and my patients.
Jed, Resident General SurgeryI used TruLearn for every ABSITE in residency and the qualifying exam. I truly believe it was the most accurate representation of what the actual tests would be like. The customer service is top notch as well – when the qualifying exam was delayed, TrueLearn extended my subscription free of charge.

The Most Stringent Item Writing Process
It’s all about the quality and starts with high-performing physicians who draft initial General Surgery questions and answer explanations. All items go through a peer-review process. We then introduce items through beta trials. Once items are fully vetted for accuracy and blueprint alignment, they are finally introduced to our live SmartBanks.
Constant Feedback And Question Refreshes
We use in-app customer ratings for the initial layer of quality feedback. Our editorial team reviews this feedback and pulls items out of the rotation when necessary to ensure our Smartbanks’ quality standards. We are always introducing new questions and editions as the blueprints change to ensure the most accurate exam experience.

General Surgery Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare for general surgery boards?
The best way to start preparing for the ABS Qualifying Exam (QE) is to study well for the ABSITE in your earlier years of residency, and to use a dedicated question bank to prepare for the QE in your final year. By doing this, you’ll develop good study habits and will know which resources are right for you. If you are planning to take the QE, we recommend checking out our ABS Qualifying Exam SmartBank. If you’re preparing for the ABSITE, you’ll be interested in our ABSITE SmartBank.
What is a passing score for the general surgery exams?
ABS Qualifying Exam scores are converted into a scale of 100 to 900. A passing score is 400. Each question is analyzed according to how many examinees answered correctly and how those examinees performed on other questions. ABSITE scores contribute to the strength of your surgical fellowship application. It is recommended that you aim to be above the 50th percentile. Our SmartBank’s peer benchmarking and performance dashboard will help you predict how you’ll do on the actual exam.
What happens if you fail your written surgical boards?
In the event of a failing score on the ABS Qualifying Exam, TrueLearn subscribers who purchased an ABS Qualifying SmartBank for 90 days or more can redeem their Pass Guarantee. We will provide a complimentary subscription equal in length to the subscription you originally purchased to help you prepare for your next attempt.
