The daily "target" takes up the whole day and not leaving any room for revision/optional etc. It's so long and tedious that, what you read on day 1 will be long forgotten after day 4. Its a 90 day plan around (first phase) and you will feel like you didnt study anything in last 90 days, like last 90 days didnt exist, because you read something and then on next day something and then something, and not absorbing in reality anything. 

You will make lots of efforts but won't be gaining anything as you will forget everything in a flash. 

Question quality ain't that good, its straight from book, line by line.  Test is of 1 hour but untill that day's result comes, you won't feel like doing anything. It takes around2-3 hour in attempting the test and relaxing and then 2 hour after results come to see others' result.

After 5 day long race against a humongous syllabus you will want to watch a movie or relax and the weekend will go away in a second, you are now worried of completing Monday's syllabus and the last week shall be forgotten.

Better strategy is to give the test without much preparation, just to see what you know and what not. That way you don't end up wasting your time. But paying 15,000 rupees for mere satisfaction isn't worth it. Anyway, SFG papers will be available a month or so prior to prelims, so right ow just study study study and then get thos epapers and quickly go through them as revision.
