Top 10 exam rituals from stressed students across Asia

We all start to feel the pressure of different upcoming exam dates. The BBC reports about the top 10 rituals from stressed Asian students.This article represents nationality because it’s about Asian students. The pressure on the Asian students is even higher because they have to achieve sky-high results.

KitKat in Japanese has become a good omen for exams

They all have their personal rituals from paling a lucky song, over eating special food or even wearing lucky pants. Some of them are culture connected some just personal.

On example ritual is eating KitKat. The chocolate bar KitKat has in Japan been marketing itself as a bringer of good luck. Pronounced as "kitto katto", the chocolate's name is similar to the phrase "kitto katsu", meaning "surely winning", making it a good candidate for a good luck charm.

The report includes 10 different sort explained rituals.

In my opining the BBC gave us this sorry because it’s a resent problem from many students. And a concerned of they parents. Its good to show how people in other countries cope with this problem and to open our mind to try new rituals.
