English Grammar Tests, Elementary Level

ESL/EFL Test #29 "Responses (2)", answer 9

Mike: 'I'm taking my driving test tomorrow.'
Jane: 'Good luck.'

Correct answer: (b) Good luck.

Your answer was: incorrect
Mike: 'I'm taking my driving test tomorrow.'
Jane: 'Good success.'
_________________________

I wonder why is not answer "Good success". Because I think good luck means is passive hope.
and good success means "I believe you'll past your exam".
Could you explain more for me, Thank you.

Hi Dong,

The usual expression when you want to express to someone your good wishes before an exam, for example is: Good luck. If you want to use the word success/successful, then you would say; I wish you every success or I hope you are successful.
