IAS is not a tough exam, as it is made out to be. Your first focus obviously, should be on clearing the IAS Prelims. You can look at any one of the two books for your preparation, as in, IAS PRELIMS - TATA MC GRAW HILL PUBLICATION or IAS PRELIMS - PEARSON PUBLICATION. If you put in two hours of focused preparation daily for two months before the exam date, you will easily get through
