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.

I would never wish anyone 'good fortune' in any circumstances.

There isn't really a difference, because 'luck' and 'fortune' mean the same thing. However, native English speakers do not ten to use 'Good fortune' as a greeting.

| "I'd simply forget it" vs "I'd simply forbid it" | Your guess is as good as mine |
