<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">You likely know that
<span class="highlightedsearchterm">Advanced Placement (AP)</span> exams are coming up in early May. What you may not know is that

<span class="highlightedsearchterm">AP</span> practice exams each for biology, calculus, chemistry, English language & composition, English literature & composition, European history, U.S. government, and U.S. history. The materials are part of the Learning

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Here are some tips if you direct students to LEL via OSLIS:
<br>
<br>
Recall that to access resources on LEL, users must first create an account and then log in.<br>
