@hardworker: Bro as your name says hardworker I think you are. Anyways lets come to the point about recommendation. you are only allowed to have one EAD either from TPS or OPT. Since you already have OPT EAD applied, if I were you I wouldnt apply for TPS EAD.

What I did last time was I didnt applied for TPS EAD but was working under OPT EAD at an office. I applied TPS EAD 4 months before my OPT EAD expire, I Am sure you can do the same thing that would be the best thing to do. YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE EAD. I am sure your OPT EAD will get approved and you can work for 1-2 years depending on your major but you can use OPT EAD now and before 4 month expiration of OPT EAD apply for TPS EAD.
