ace it

Crush the exam

To ace it is to perform exceptionally well, especially on a test or challenging task: I studied all night and totally aced it.

The expression comes from ace as the highest card or a perfect tennis serve.

It implies not just passing but excelling—doing something with ease and confidence.
