to be truthfull i think that both of them are needed, i mean i know this girl back from school who used to study like hell, everyday about 5 hours! and she used to get low grades, really low grades, yeah she was not so clever, but she had a lot of hardwork.

so i think you need a both of them heavilly, luck and hard work, teachers tell you to work hard because you can't control luck, but if you could they wouldn't have told you to work as hard.

luck, hardwork, mix 'em together, make a soupy broth!
then add a pinch of prayers,stir until they froth!
pour in some concrete syllabus, study-the-right-material;
mix and mix until it does-not-look-like-cereal!
now drop in  some grey gloopy cells,
be careful that you stay-afar;
watch it burst and bubble and boil,
and there's your recipe for an astar!!

I think both are vital to succeed in our examinations...For an instance, it does not ensure that we are going to do well in our exams even if we burnt midnight oil. Perhaps after u study so damn hard,the paper might be so hard, u may fall sick on that particular day and anything unexpected might occur...Thus, we need both hardwork and luck...

loool...the recipe's gr8 "woteverr" . I thnk hard work's rlly important. But in addition 2 dat, I think beleieving in destiny helps me a gr8 deal. Cuz as has beeen sed above. U mite fall sick, it mite be superr hard ,etc. But to succeed in the exam, I must jst believe in God, noe it's not the end of the world, and do my best, that is after having studied,etc. Then,whatevr the results may b, ur satisfied, cuz u;ve done ur best and tht's all tht matters I guess.

I mostly believed hardwork was the only way but by reading the post above, luck is indeed needed, like u might fell sick! to succeed u should hav a schedule how to work , how to manage your stress level etc etc....and finally a little bit of luck. If som1 knows there subject well then even if u r sick u can succeed so here luck is merely needed.

Someone once said - "I am a great believer of luck. And the more I work hard, the more I have of it"  Makes sense.  ;D

I think that if a person is fully prepared.. and studied a  lot in the papers.. then he/she will find herself luckiest.. assuming that the paper was easy.. and my luck was with me.

If a person is well prepared.. luck is with him
else he will find nothing with him :P

I think we only need luck from God to get A...
I am not lucky...I study hard and stayed up all night revising but when it comes to test...I always get low marks...
my sister, she never study,,,always fb everyday but in her test...always get straight A.
SEE what I mean?
LUck is important,,,,even though you don't revise but if you have luck,,,you can pass...

It's not how much you revise that makes the difference, it's HOW you revise.

Nor is it about revising what you learn actually, it's about understanding it.

Come  on. I revised like crazy for my mechanics paper for these few months. and when I sat for the exam today it was like the hardest mechanics paper that I've encountered. so, like is definitely vital.
