CSS Subject Selection Strategy

The CSS subject selection strategy should be based on your strengths, interests, scoring trends, and background knowledge. Since you've already selected your subjects, I'll explain the best approach for choosing and managing them effectively.

Analyze Scoring Trends
- Some subjects generally have higher scores than others.
- Check past years' results to see which subjects performed well.
- Avoid subjects that have had consistently low scoring trends.
Evaluate Your Background Knowledge
- If you already have a background in a subject (e.g., a degree in IR or Criminology), it will be easier to study and score well.
- Avoid subjects that require starting from scratch unless you're highly interested.
Match Subjects to Your Interest
- Subjects you're passionate about will be easier to study for the long term.
- If a subject feels dull, it may be hard to retain information.
Balance Between Theory & Analytical Subjects
- Avoid taking all theory-based subjects (e.g., Political Science, Sociology, etc.), as they require extensive memorization.
- A mix of analytical and theoretical subjects helps in better scoring.
Opt for Overlapping Subjects
- Some subjects overlap with compulsory ones (e.g., International Relations helps in Current Affairs, Pakistan Affairs, and Essay).
- This reduces the overall preparation time.
Consider Your Writing & Analytical Skills
- Subjects like International Relations and US History require analytical writing.
- Gender Studies and Sindhi need good memory and understanding of concepts.
