IS TPR Review Books (Not Hyperlearning) Helpful Enough to Buy?

Everyone always talks about tPR hyperlearning books but what about they regular Review books?

I'm am not able to get my hands on BR books so I'm looking for prep books to teach me Orgo, Physics, and Gen Chem.

For verbal, I'm going to be using EK Verbal 101 and the normal verbal book. Is that enough? I know people say the hyperlearning Verbal from tpr is really good but they're really expensive to get a hold of.

Also, what is the value of the tpr hyperlearning science workbook? A lot of people seem to talk about it but I have not read anything about what it is.

For bio, I'm only using the EK book.

Any advice on book selection would be helpful.

the hyperlearning verbal and science books are very very good. definitely better than any Kaplan materials and more realistic than examkracker questions. id recommend getting both. id be willing to bet if you did every single question in the science book, you wont get less than a 10 on either science section.

I love the science workbook!
Definitely stick to EK for bio, I have the whole TPR set and found EK more useful.

I do like how the physics book is written same with ochem, ochem is very concise.

after thinking it over more... ive concluded that Princeton does actually have the BEST verbal out there. better than examkrackers. I feel like examkrackers are always trying to trick you. princeton is much more fair.

Thanks guys, this is really helpful! I definitely think I'm going to try and get my hands on TPRH books, as well as the EK bio...
Any recommendations in terms of Gen Chem and Orgo Chem studying materials? I know, I know, TBR is suppose to be the best in this area but I can't get my hands on a copy of these in a reasonable amount of time. My only options are either TPR, Kaplan, or EK
