Default History of USA, Public Ad or International Relations?

I gave my first attempt with the following optionals in 2016,

Physics (127)
International Law (76)
Journalism (62)
Gender Studies (50)
Town Planning (18)

Apart from Physics, I prepared all optionals in about 10 days each. I want to replace Town Planning with US History or Public Administration. Which one would be easier and less time consuming given the fact that I haven't touched these subjects at all and have no basic idea about it?

Secondly, if I replace two optionals and go for International Relations, how much time approximately would it take to cover the entire course? Would it be manageable in about 30 days?

Both, Public Administration and US History, will take equal span of time - 10 days each.
However, Public Administration is more analytical and general than US History.

That's great but what do you have to say on remembering so many dates, names and the happenings of events? Isn't that a more difficult task than something general like Public Ad?

Maybe the exam pattern is easier than the syllabus suggests so it's good to score?

Please guide me how did you make it easy for yourself.

If you choose IR, things will be very easy for you. I got 110 with hardly 3 days study, but another friend studied few days more and he got 90 only.
If you get IR, then u will need to prepare for IR + Phy + any 2 subjects of choice. Really less headache. I also have IR + Phy combination.

Public ad is safe choice, i studied it last day and got 66.

Either take IR, or if you are confident with rest of the subject selection, choose public ad and give it a week.
