Before you apply
Know what you’re actually signing up for.
For programs, Succeed separates provider-published facts from our own assessment, labels estimates clearly and shows where important information is still missing.
- What will I actually do?
- What will it really cost?
- Who might this suit?
- What should I check before deciding?
Illustration of how Succeed presents an opportunity, using invented examples: key facts such as cost, eligibility and format are shown first, followed by Succeed’s own assessment of who the opportunity may suit — for a competition, an online program and an in-person program.
Keep the options you’re considering together.
Save opportunities you want to come back to and compare programs side by side.
Illustration of saving and comparing on Succeed, using wholly invented example programs and figures: two are saved from a list, then compared side by side by cost, format, duration, setting, age, deadline and what students would do.

Is the John Locke Essay Competition worth entering?
The John Locke Essay Competition is one of the most prestigious open to school students, and also one of the most competitive. This guide looks at what entering really involves, who it suits, and whether the time it takes is a sensible investment for your application.
Are academic summer schools worth it for university applications?
Most online answers to this question are published by the companies selling the programs, so the answer is always yes. This guide gives a straighter one. It sets out when a summer school genuinely helps an application, when it does not, and what to look for before you spend the money.
Competitions or summer schools: which should you prioritise this year?
Both can strengthen an application, but they do very different jobs and cost very different amounts. This guide breaks down what each one signals to admissions tutors, what they cost in time and money, and how to choose based on your subject, year group and budget.

How Succeed works
How we assess opportunities and stay transparent.
On program pages, we separate provider-published facts from our own assessment, estimates and information we could not confirm. We also disclose commercial relationships, so you can understand both the information you are reading and Succeed’s role.
We review the information published by each provider and distinguish it from our own analysis.
Where useful, we may estimate things such as total costs or explain what the available information means in practice. If something important cannot be confirmed, we say so rather than guessing.
We make it clear whether information is a provider-published fact, Succeed’s assessment, a Succeed estimate, or information we could not confirm. On program pages those labels look like this:
Provider-publishedSucceed’s assessmentSucceed estimateNot yet confirmed
Our job is to help you decide whether an opportunity is right for you, not to persuade you to apply.
We approach programs like an independent adviser. We look at what you will actually do, what it is likely to cost, who it may suit, important trade-offs and anything that remains uncertain.
We avoid provider marketing language and do not simply label programs as “good” or “bad”. The aim is to give you enough useful information to make your own decision.
Succeed may receive a commission or referral fee from some providers. Where we have a commercial relationship with a provider, we disclose it.
That relationship does not change how we assess the opportunity. We apply the same editorial standards whether or not a provider pays Succeed, including highlighting limitations or explaining when another option may suit you better.
