It is not advisable to follow only one sort of material.
You must read daily news paper like "The Hindu" and you must be well aware about ongoing debates in politics, economy, etc.
For that you must read some magazines like "Pratiyogita Darpan" and "UPSC portal".
You can download free books for aptitude tests by R S Agarwal.
You can read online material form upscportal.com.
Best of luck.
