Many applicants face a question before exams: is knowledge or luck more important for success? The short answer is both, but knowledge is the main factor.

Why is knowledge needed?

To answer test questions correctly, thorough preparation and excellent knowledge are essential.

Knowledge serves as a solid foundation for applicants not only during exams but also throughout their studies at higher education institutions.

Relying solely on luck without knowledge is a dangerous shortcut.

Why is luck needed?

The order of questions or distribution of topics in a test can sometimes depend on luck.

Between two equally prepared applicants, one might score higher due to small differences or chance factors.

Getting more questions from a section you've prepared well for is also considered lucky.

Conclusion:

✅ Knowledge - the foundation of exam success ✅ Luck - a tool that helps fully demonstrate knowledge

The best strategy is to rely on knowledge while not dismissing luck. Because luck favors the prepared mind.
