Default Subject Selection Help Required

Dear Fellows!
Kindly help me select right combination of optional subjects for CSS 2013.
I have done my Masters in International Relations.During my Masters I studied International Law and European History.I did my graduation with Political Science and Sociology.I have studied Psychology and Sociology in my Intermediate.
Now I have many Choices such as
Political Science
Sociology
International Relations
International Law
Psychology
European History
These are the subjects i had been very good at during my studies and I scored very well in these subjects.
But now I am confused how should I combine them for 600 marks.
Kindly suggest me what should I opt and what should I skip.
Regards

You can go with these subjects they are well scoring in recent years while Pol, Sc, IR, are not being awarded with good sores and CSS is also the game of score as this can fetch you a good group. Regards

your regional language is the best option,, if not than Muslim law and if you want to skip journalism than it had better to you opt geography if you have interest ........ Allah Bless you

Donot skip it, as constitutional law paper is lngthy one, you need to go through constitution + constitutional bodies of six countries, if you really want to skip then journalism/regional language can be better option.

IndoPak and IR are low scoring subjects in recent years, hence it is advised to opt either islamic history or british hisotry these are all scoring subjects. Also you can opt subjects like Journalism, International Law, US History etc. Rest of the selected subjects are scoring..

I saw the syllabus of both Islamic History, British History and US History I feel that I dont have any background knowledge about them. So I'm left only with Indo-Pak History I dont know what to do..

Which one would be easy? International Law or International Relations? In law I'd have to remember law clauses so wouldn't that be difficult? Please advise.

Being masters in International Relations i would suggest you opt international law as ithas a limited course,while in International Relations you will have to cover a huge amount of course.International Relations is a tough subject.
