Hard work is a pre-condition, then the luck factor really counts; not only in this exam but in all the endeavors of life! This is also a part of our belief being Muslims. No idea about other religions, but guess there would be same teachings too in this respect...

So, is wished 'best of luck' in everyday jobs..! If one secures 730+ marks in written but could not qualify essay or Islamiat for want of 2 or 5 marks; what it is?? Could not he secure more marks in the very same subjects by the same checker, or by another one?? And the same way, those who are qualified these crucial subjects with 40 marks, could not be allotted 38, 35 or less marks?? One can term it 'luck' or 'human error' what one feels appropriate (or believes!)..

Best of luck friends!
