<p>The College Board no longer provides the After the Test essay prompts. Here is the East Coast essay prompt. Hoping West Coasters and International students will list your essay prompts. Thanx!!!!!</p>

<p>Essay Prompt:
Many powerful leaders throughout history have considered themselves above the law and acted in ways that violated the laws or guidelines of their own country or group. People are quick to condemn these leaders, but shouldn't leaders be held to different standards? If what a leader is doing benefits the majority of the people in a country or group, it does not matter if a law or guideline is violated.</p>

<p>Assignment: Should leaders of a country or group be judged by different standards?</p>

<p>IMO, pragmatism should supersede idealism when governing the country. You can name various US presidents from history that used wise judgment even when their actions “violated the laws of guidelines of their own country or group”. Abe Lincoln and FDR are good examples. Ronald Reagan, meanwhile, remained idealistic when he promoted his idea of supply-side economics (Reaganomics, trickle down economics), and we all know what happened from there.</p>

<p>I don’t remember exactly my own prompt, but it had something to do with “Does moderation prohibit people from achieving their goals?” or something.</p>

<p>West Coast</p>

<p>Essay Prompt:
People are often advised to practice moderation in everything they do. The way to succeed in achieving their goals, they are told, is to remain balanced, controlled, and restrained. But this advice is misguided. Instead of being moderate, people should be passionate and intense. Throughout history, moderation has produced nothing extraordinary or exceptional. Excellence in any pursuit requires excess–great enthusiasm, high energy, and extreme effort.</p>

<p>Assignment: Is moderation an obstacle to achievement and success?</p>
