At all times, passing exams was considered a mystical and sacred act. The procedure itself is full of traditions and even endowed with some ritualism. Usually, direct surrender is preceded by a sleepless night and intense excitement. Who was a student, do not forget the pre-examination jitters, confused thoughts and
shaking hands before entering the audience. The emotional component is an integral part of any exam. And the level of preparation does not always decide everything; luck plays the last role in the exam. May or may not be lucky with a ticket, the mood of the teacher. And the student always hopes to the last “saving machine". And it is not surprising that those who hand over want by hook or by crook to increase the chance of a successful outcome of the “confrontation” with the teacher, even using a conspiracy to pass the exam.
And as you know, if you try hard, then luck can be "caught by the tail." Most students are superstitious people, and this is not only a matter of the deplorable level of knowledge of some individuals. Examination conspiracies use both the eternal sloveners, admitted to the session by pure chance, and the excellent girls who diligently crammed the material the day before.
Students have many customs and signs that are associated with exams. Someone with the beginning of the session stops shaving and cutting their hair, someone on the eve of the test does not wash his hair, afraid to wash away all the accumulated knowledge. It is believed that before going to the exam, you can’t make the bed, and the first step should be taken with her left foot. With the same foot and you need to go into the audience. During the exam, they usually ask someone to scold the person who passes the test or keep
his fingers crossed until he leaves the audience.
It is believed that if you hold on to a fellow student who has just passed, it will bring good luck - also a kind of tactile conspiracy to pass the exam. The classic study is a copper coin, enclosed in the left boot “for good luck”.
Another belief: if you put the textbook and lecture notes under the pillow, then during sleep the acquired knowledge will be consolidated, and the gaps in them will be filled with educational material.
Even prayers and conspiracies to pass the exam are actively used. Moreover, there are several types. For example, a prayer uttered on clothes is very popular, in which the examinee appears before the teacher.
There is also a conspiracy to pass the exam, which is aimed at putting together all the knowledge on an elongated ticket ever gained in life.
There are ways to attract good luck aimed at a particular teacher, the relationship with which the student leaves much to be desired. It is believed that if the conspiracy to pass the exam is correct, the professor’s anger will be replaced by mercy.
Even the most superstitious students understand that you will not get “excellent” on signs and plots alone. Someone fixes semi-mystical rites with a good old cheat sheet, and someone with knowledge.
Centuries of students have passed, and although the conspiracy to successfully pass the exam is still practiced, the surest and most reliable way to close the session is to prepare well for it.
