Lots of questions to practice out, since every micro topic is listed and sorted it's easier to approach the questions.Make a plan and do the questions in a timely manner.Since UPSC is very very unpredictable I'd suggest to use multiple mock question bnks as well since relying on PYQs alone would not make you cut for the real exam.This book is worth it for the PYQ part but add mocks as well on top of it.
Thanks
