Using MLA and APA

  most high school students. However it can still
  be tricky.
• APA format is not usually introduced until the
  college level and because of its difference from
  MLA it is often confusing for students.
• By using online reference tools with automated
  fill-in, citing your sources in MLA and APA
  format will be a breeze.
