Review while it's fresh
The KMLE General Surgery Qbank gives good coverage of general surgery. Review wrong answers the same day, while they're fresh.

Long cases, less intimidating
Timed practice made the long cases much less intimidating by exam day.

A useful wake-up call
The pediatric surgery and urology questions surprised me with their depth. I'm glad I practiced them. I had assumed those topics would be a small part of the exam, so practicing them properly was a useful wake-up call. The explanations were clear enough that I didn't need a separate textbook.
