ABSITE Summary: Explanation and Interpretation of Scores

Click here for a copy of the Summary.

Important note to residents: Review the correlation between absolute score and percentile, as the percentile can frequently be improved significantly by correctly answering another ten or so questions.

The Website address for the National Resident Matching Program is below. The program directors survey can be found in the lower part of the screen under Data & Reports. These data reports show how program directors across specialties use USMLE, AOA, etc. when deciding which applicants to interview and to rank. The response rate is given for each specialty so that you can assess the reliability of the data. You will also find data on match results for residency and fellowship on the same page.
