Introduction

Welcome! Take the ABSITE in January? Great! The #ProjectSmackdown Team has created this ABSITE resource guide to help you prep for even more success next year...

Wouldn't it be great if someone prepped a list of currently available, online, free ABSITE resources?

​It could tell you where to go to get the best free content to assist with your prep for next year.

Sure, the freely available, online content may not tell you EVERYTHING you need for the ABSITE...but there's a lot out there. Using those available resources sure could help.

Now, the #ProjectSmackdown team has scoured the web with social media platforms and search engines to compile this list of where to go for what in terms of free content available online for your ABSITE prep.

Take a look inside at 2022's report on the best free online ABSITE content!
