[BlindMath] Accessible Math Textbooks

[Aqil Sajjad]

On a slightly different but related note, does anyone know where I can find 
an accessible electronic version of some practise exams for AP and SAT 
math/calculus and physics? And if possible, also some guide that explains 
the test and its format etc?
