Help me
Again I'm posting the same post as i posted in previous( but didn't get response ) and this time I'm expecting some useful response.
My optional subjects selection is : 1. USA history 2. Gender studies or Public administrator 3. IR 4. International law or constitunal law 5. Journalism. Please suggest me which should i include or exclude. My background is BS mathematics but i don't opt it. My preparation is for 2020. Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk |

Friend, keep the following things in mind regarding your optionals:
A. US History Opt this subject if: i. you are good at remembering dates ii. you are good at keeping historical events and occurrences from jumbling iii. you have read the syllabus and feel that you can completely cover the syllabus and retain it till the exams. Advantages: i. easy ii. high scoring iii. short syllabus Disadvantages: i. Dates and historical references can get mixed up ii. hard to retain B. Gender Studies or Public Administration If you have to choose then set the following criteria: i. which subject seems to interest you (whether you feel you can study and retain it with ease) ii. which subject is smaller in syllabus iii. which subject you feel you can manage in your preparation time iv. which subject compliments other subjects Comparison Gender Studies--- easy, shorter in syllabus, high scoring, requires less preparation time, helps in other subjects..... HOWEVER, it can be boring or obnoxious for some people. Public Administration.....interesting syllabus, helpful in other subjects......HOWEVER, it has been historically low scoring, has lengthy syllabus thus requires more preparation time. IR Opt this subject if: i. you can critically analyse any topic put in front of you (true for the whole CSS exam but you get the point) ii. you can apply theoretical concepts on current issues iii. you can comparatively analyse history and modern phenomenon iv. you are not a crammer (again holds true for most of the subjects) Advantages: i. Very easy to understand. ii. Opinion based iii. Shorter in syllabus than all other 200 marks subjects iv. Can get you high scores if prepared well v. Helps in almost every other subject Disadvantages: i. Not a subject for crammers ii. Lots of people opt it so you have to prepare extra hard to make your paper stand out iii. Volatile scoring trend D. International Law or Constitutional law If you are good with legal terms and can remember different articles and clauses without mixing them up then you should opt a LAW subject otherwise go for Criminology as it is easy, interesting, shorter in syllabus and high scoring as compared to all law subjects. Opt law if and only if you can finish it not just start it. International law is quite a boring subject as is your other pick. It depends solely on you. If you can digest law easily then don't look back and go for either one because if you can easily digest law then it doesn't matter which one you choose. E. Journalism It is a scoring subject and easy as well. However, the group which houses Journalism has some some other very lucrative options as well such as Sociology, Anthropology and regional languages. All of them are shorter in syllabus, easy to understand, high scoring, interesting and time saving subjects. Journalism is fine but you can pick a more refined option if you study other subjects in that group (just an opinion.....rest is up to you). Hope you found this helpful. Remember me in your prayers. |

Language
The combination seems pretty good.
However, if you are good at any regional language, replace Journalism with the language. |

Mmani I'm not good at regional languages ( Specially in writing ). Can you suggests me some other over journalism? What about Public Administrator? Is journalism shorter and easy than PA?
