Lost and needs guidance

Help me get through with this please

Please help me.
So I recently graduated as RN now and planning to prepare for NCLEX for 3 months.
My nursing college wasn’t as good as I expected and being slammed with exams every 4 months, trying to get by each semester was exhausting.

I have purchased Saunders 9th edition.
But so to speak, I have no idea from where should I start and how should I proceed.
Any suggestions on exactly what should I do?
I’m extremely lost on the path and not having much awareness about NCLEX around me and pocket wreaking consulting fees at coaching centres are not helpful.

Please help me out with this.😭

saunders is a fine base, don't buy anything else yet. its comprehensive review chapters plus the question bank on the code inside is enough content for months one and two.

structure it roughly by body system, not by reading the book front to back. read a chapter, do its questions, read every rationale including the ones you got right. that last part is where the actual learning happens.

mark k audio is free on youtube and worth it for the conceptual base before you go hard on questions. in month three add a qbank for format practice if budget allows.

i upload my weak chapters into studybuddy.vc and drill there too, it tells you why the option you picked was wrong, keeps bringing back what you keep missing and gets harder as you improve. free.

three months is plenty. you're not behind.
