I am not sure of your sentence. I would write it in this way: Students will be succeeded in passing this exam. I think that succeed to should be followed by noun, IMO. Hope that helps.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

'Succeed to do something' is wrong.

If you insist on using "succeed", then I guess you could say, 'Students will succeed in passing this exam'. However, I think that 'Students will pass this exam' is more likely.

For you, perhaps. You haven't met my computer gremlin.

Thanks anyway. I'll try it next time this happens. I don't dare try it on my post in this thread in case I make it even worse.

To be honest, as always your comments really hit the bull's-eye, I must say. Bless you.

Through your divine service which you will perform there, you will succeed in bringing Moshiach sooner, and hastening the Redemption.”
