Can the speaker use ojalá for himself?

Can the speaker say, ¨Ojalá aprueba el examen¨

or does he have to say it the other way, ¨Espero aprobar el examen.¨

Thanks.

Why is está used for the sentence La mahonesa está deliciosa?

Is it because they're speaking about that specific mayonnaise rather than mayonnaise in general?

Me alegra que ellos sean los primeros.

Why is this subjunctive? Is it because it comes after "que"? This sentence doesn't seem to express any doubt about their being the first.

Could I say "me alegra que ser el primero?" if I were talking about myself or would I have to write "me alegra que yo sea el primero"?

question said I was wrong when I wasn'tEsta ________ mi antigua escuela.This used to be my old school.(HINT: Conjugate irregular “ser” in the imperfect past/El Pretérito Imperfecto. Example: "ella tenía" = she had/used to have)

Esta solía ser mi antigua escuela.

I'm pretty sure that I'm right and it puts "era". I know that "solía ser" is even more accurate than "era".

In the test question: Después de mucho uso, la vela de cera ____doblada. I used “es” vs “está” as a bent over candle seems to be a permanent condition. Wouldn’t “es” be correct in this sentence also? Thanks
