Feedback on my content review kit?

Hello. I've been skimming through TBR, EK and Kaplan sets for a while now because my heart was set on January as my test date for a while. I've noticed that for some reason, the EK set puts me to sleep. I need lengthy and wordy detailed explanations to consolidate memory and keep me engaged and thinking. I live for explanations.

Now that it's a few months before my test date, I am thinking of cutting some books out of my content review kit. How does the following look granted that I can chug through them?:

Kaplan behavioral sciences

Kaplan biochemistry

Kaplan CARS

Kaplan biology

Kaplan organic chemistry

TBR biology 1 and 2

TBR chemistry 1 and 2

TBR physics 1 and 2

TBR organic chemistry 1 and 2

EK physics

EK chemistry

EK CARS

TPR behavioral sciences

I am not too worried about too much content but rather a lack of content or missing something important. If I can, I would rather focus learning material from one book on a certain subject well and wholey rather than mixing multiple books for a subject.

Also, what are your opinions on Kaplan organic chemistry and biology? Does TBR triumph them on those subjects? Is Kaplan necessary for those subjects if I learn them well using TBR? I am using the 2011 edition of TBR by the way...

Ideally, if they cover everything, I'd like to use the following:

Kaplan behavioral sciences

Kaplan biochemistry

Kaplan CARS

TBR biology 1 and 2

TBR chemistry 1 and 2

TBR physics 1 and 2

TBR organic chemistry 1 and 2

TBR psychology***

EK physics

EK chemistry

EK CARS

TPR behavioral sciences

Thanks for all of your feedback.

P.S. Is TBR psychology book worth buying? It's up on their website now...
