00May I ask why "Good luck on your experiments" doesn't sound great to you?02br
00"Good luck with your exams" and "Good luck on your exams" are both okay, aren't they?0-

0Maybe because something is "on" an exam or test, in American English, so maybe in that case "on" sounds less odd. I generally use "with" in most cases, though. 050010id1

Hi, is ' good luck on physics' right ?

It seems wrong because 'physics' isn't an action or activity. You could have, however, "Good luck on your physics exams".

Would "good luck with your game" be better or "good luck on your game"?
