Now, considering you appear this year, I'll not advise you to change your combination except replacing IR with Punjabi. But if you think of appearing next year, Arabic may really be a good option. However, securing 180+ in arabic seems virtually impossible!!!! But you may surely secure in the range of 150-160.

As far as Histories are concerned, their trend is rally unpredictable as is evident from previous 2,3 years. Indo-pak has not been high scoring this year but at the same time, it hasn't been bad scoring either. some candidates including yourself have secured 120+. In my personal opinion, Indopak has got enough hit in last two years. There is high probability that it will score high in CSS 2012. So, if you want to appear this year, I think its better to keep Indo-pak instead of selecting a new subject of 200 marks.

Even if pattern changes, I think Punjabi is a better choice because it may give you 60+ in worst case whereas IR gives this no. of marks in best case. On the other hand, If high scoring trend in Punjabi continues, it may give you 80+ easily. If you think you can cover contents before start of CSS 2012, you may consider opting Punjabi even for this year otherwise opt it in CSS 2013. Arabic may take considerable time. If you had not other options, I would have advised you to opt arabic this year but as this is not the case, therefore its better to leave it for next year. (By the way, I pray you don't need any next attempt! May ALLAH succeed you!)
