Instead of "good luck" what can I write ar say to my students?
|
Hi dear colleagues! I want to wish something for my students at the end of each test. Are there any other expressions apart from "good luck"? (because I don �t like this one.) Can I say "good work" for example? thanks for your help.

"Well done!" (if you are adding the text after grading it.)
otherwise "good luck on the test" or "good luck" is pretty common

I usually use "Good Work" or "Good luck on the test" |

As Douglas said, "well done" or "good work" is what you would write on the test after you grade it.
You would write "good luck" only before they have taken the test, never after it is graded. An alternative might be "Do your best" or "I hope you do well".

People are t otally right about their comments, another way after the exam that I like to use is: I am proud of you. Try to do what yanogator said.

I think Flora1 meant to say, "I am proud of you".

Good luck is something you would write before they take a test or do an assignment, not after. If you don �t like "good luck" you could write; Success |

Before they make a test I use good luck, bring it on, go for it, I know you can get it done.
After they �ve finished the test something like, well done, great work, outstanding, perfect, excellent work, super job |

hi! what do you think about
break a leg fingers crossed ?
sometimes I use "good luck" but in different languages and they really like that because they start guessing about which language is
e.g.
bonne chance (French) sterkte (Afrikaan) buena suerte (Spanish)
hope it helps!
