Kit-Kat-the crispy chocolate is associated with better performance in exams. This applies only to the Japanese students.

Is it something to do with the ingredient in the Kit-Kat?

No, certainly not! It has something to do with the way the chocolate's name is pronounced in Japan. There is a Japanese word "Kitto-Katsu" that translates into "win without fail". Well, Kit-Kat is pronounced as "Kitto-katto' in Japan and that is close to their 'Kitto-katsu'.

So, this is only a belief in Japan and the 'Nestle', the manufacturer of Kit-Kat is capitalizing on this belief of Japanese by presenting their Kit-Kat chocolate bar in a special way.

Snopes.com has written an article on this amusing belief of Japanese and cites several offline news resources.
