Have you thought about reading the ABSITE sticky?

See the thread above. There's not one good book or question bank. However, most would agree that the Fiser book is excellent for quick, high-yield review. It will help more with the "Medical knowledge" portion of the test (24%) than it will with the rest.
Online question banks are often expensive and unproven...the newest players are BoardVitals ($100/month) and TrueLearn ($130/month), neither of which are proven to be valuable. We have an institutional subscription to boardvitals, and I thought they were just okay.
SCORE has lots of questions, many of which were apparently purchased through third-party vendors. There is value in the SCORE questions, but you have to wade through a lot of bad questions to find them. Most of us agree that SESAP questions are the best for ABSITE and the actual QE.

SCORE is the way to go. Just grind it out. I switched to TrueLearn last year and my score dropped substantially.
I initially liked truelearn initially, however as i finished the bank last year, I noticed a ton of errors. Some answers are objectively wrong and sometimes answer choices had major typos. Also noticed that questions would occasionally pop up or disappear (ex: I would notice 2 "new" problems in the small bowel section, although I had completed it. Or the pancreas section would only have 30 questions, even though I had recently completed a 32 question of pancreas questions).
Fiser is the book to use
