Before the exam, I searched online for hundreds of spiritual tips, did I get any results?

Besides focusing on studying for exams, many students are busy following spiritual tips such as reposting lucky TikTok videos , doing tarot card readings... all kinds of things before exams.

On social networks, there are many forms of luck praying using spiritual tips that young people pass on to each other - Screenshot

Vague and undirected, this type of spiritual trick is enthusiastically received by students because it is simple, easy to do and does not take much time.

Believe in spiritual tips unconditionally?

With about a week left until her final exam, My Nga (a business administration student at Eastern International University) still had no idea what to write. Rushing through her notes did not help her feel less anxious because there was too much knowledge to cover in just a few days.

As usual, Nga turned to spiritual tips to calm herself down. Nga boasted that she has a habit of having fortune-telling and tarot card readings on TikTok whenever she is stressed about everything from love, money to studying.

"This time, when I had my tarot read, it was predicted that I would have good luck and pass the upcoming exam with a higher score than expected, so I feel more confident," Nga said excitedly.

In addition to reading tarot, Nga also diligently shares and reposts posts and videos that bring lucky messages when she comes across them online, and believes that is enough to prepare her for the exam!

Meanwhile, Huyen My (student of the University of Economics and Law, Ho Chi Minh City National University) sought another spiritual solution: manifest (the act of thinking and imagining about a goal until it becomes a reality).

My often goes to coffee shops to study when exams are near and then takes pictures to post online. Although she admits that the cafe is crowded and she doesn't absorb much, she still goes regularly and takes pictures to show her efforts in studying.

My hopes: "The message of trying hard to study to get high scores that I send to the universe will be heard by the universe and help me pass the exam."

No spiritual trick brings knowledge!

Because she believed too much in spiritual tips, My Duyen (a 12th grade student at a high school in Binh Duong ) had to accept a bitter end in her most recent test. There were too many tests at the same time, so Duyen chose to review her main subjects, and for her secondary subjects, she followed spiritual tips online.

Studying carefully but still afraid of "curse"

Studying day and night, Hoang An (a literature student at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City National University) is still afraid of "curse" posts on social networks.

An shared that even though he studied his lessons carefully, he still followed posts like "If you reupload you will get a high score, if you don't reupload you will fail the exam".

"I know that those posts are just for interaction, but I still think that if I don't follow them, I might get unlucky and fail the exam, so I just reup for peace of mind and I won't lose anything," An said.

Trusting this method, Duyen entered the exam room with the hope that her luck would be above average. The result was that she got below average scores in the two subjects she didn't review.

Master Vo Ngoc Nhon - Deputy Director of the Admissions Consulting Center of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology - said that looking at things positively, using tarot, reposting lucky videos or manifesting... helps strengthen the spirit, and is considered an effective solution to create motivation and positive thinking if used properly.

However, if you overuse that mental therapy without actively reviewing and grasping the knowledge, no mental therapy will be effective.

This dependence destroys your ability to evaluate problems and make decisions. Not to mention, you waste time and lose the focus you should have spent on studying.

Sometimes you even waste money on general advice from people who exploit spirituality for personal gain.

"Study seriously, take full notes of the content of the teacher's lecture, especially the illustrative examples. At the same time, actively speak up and add opinions related to the teacher's lecture. This is the way to dig deeper and remember effectively. This is actively reviewing the lesson during the learning process," Mr. Nhon suggested.
