At Study Skills Zone, we’re dedicated to providing students with the tools they need to succeed academically. Our unique revision system, PRTCS, serves as the cornerstone of all our workshops. PRTCS, which stands for planning, reducing, testing, checking, and spacing, forms the foundation of our approach to effective learning. Through workshops tailored to each component of PRTCS, we equip students with the skills and strategies necessary to excel in their studies and achieve their academic goals. Whether participating in our workshops or utilising our resources independently, PRTCS provides a robust framework for academic success:
- Planning:
Plan strategically by targeting specific areas of weakness first. Research shows that prioritising difficult topics enhances learning efficiency. - Reducing:
Simplify complex material to aid memory transfer from short-term to long-term storage. Chunking information improves retention by making it more digestible. - Testing:
Practice retrieval of information through methods like flashcards, quizzes, and practice papers. Retrieval practice strengthens memory and boosts exam performance. - Checking:
Verify accuracy by checking against reliable sources like BBC Bitesize or textbooks. Identifying errors and misconceptions facilitates correction and deepens understanding. - Spacing:
Utilise spaced repetition to reinforce learning over time. Spaced learning enhances memory retention and solidifies knowledge for long-term recall.
