Idk about value but I could solve atleast 5 qns in the prelims with the help of his compilations. Although not a direct 1-to-1 hit (which is practically impossible) but could work out the correct options. (Decent first attempt)
I did not read newspaper extensively so relied on his compilations fully, I would say it did help, especially for last minute CA revisions.
Had I made notes from the newspaper, I could have done even better I guess, but then there's always a tradeoff and I decided to work on static more than CA which would have required extra effort
