The PRC TOS gives relative weights per subject. Use those weights to avoid overstudying familiar topics and undertraining high-impact areas.
Start with the 20 percent subjects
Criminology, Crime Detection and Investigation, and Criminal Law and Jurisprudence are each listed at 20 percent in the PRC TOS annexes. These are high-impact subjects because weak performance in any one of them can pull down your overall readiness.
In weekly planning, this means they should appear often: concept review, active recall, and mock-board rationalization. Hindi sapat na binasa mo lang sila once.
- Criminology: theories, victimology, ethics, juvenile justice, and related competencies.
- Crime Detection and Investigation: investigation, intelligence, traffic, arson, drugs, cybercrime, and special investigations.
- Criminal Law and Jurisprudence: criminal justice system, human rights, criminal law, evidence, procedure, and court testimony.
Keep 15 percent subjects active every week
Law Enforcement Administration and Forensic Science are each listed at 15 percent. These subjects can be score-builders if you practice the processes and comparisons, not just definitions.
For LEA, expect organization, operations, planning, leadership, and public safety concepts. For Forensic Science, expect identification, photography, chemistry, questioned documents, lie detection, ballistics, and reporting or laboratory safety.
- Use comparison tables for agencies, processes, and functions.
- Use flowcharts for procedures and evidence handling.
- Practice board-style questions after each topic block.
Do not neglect the 10 percent subject
Correctional Administration is listed at 10 percent, but it is still part of the official coverage. If you ignore it, you are giving away points that may be easier to recover with focused review.
The PRC TOS includes institutional correction, non-institutional correction, and therapeutic modalities. These topics are manageable when organized by system, process, and purpose.
- Review institutional versus non-institutional correction side by side.
- Make process cards for probation, parole, clemency, admission, release, and supervision.
- Use short recall drills to keep the subject fresh.
