overachieved
Surpassed the goal
Overachieved is the past tense of overachieve, meaning to perform better than expected or surpass projected goals.
The word often describes exceeding standards set by others: The fund overachieved its benchmark by twelve percent.
It can also suggest doing more than necessary, sometimes with a hint of neurotic striving: She overachieved her whole life and burned out by thirty.
