What is another word for more than expected?
Pronunciation: [mˈɔː ðɐn ɛkspˈɛktɪd] (IPA) 
When something surpasses our expectation, we often describe it as "more than expected." But there are numerous synonyms that can be used to convey the same meaning with a different level of intensity. One such word is "remarkable" - it denotes something that is strikingly worthy of attention and admiration. "Extraordinary" is another word that is used to describe things that go beyond what is considered ordinary. "Surprising" also fits the bill when something exceeds our expectation unexpectedly. Other synonyms include "astonishing," "unprecedented," and "unforeseen." No matter which synonym we choose, we can convey the sentiment of being pleasantly surprised and impressed by something that exceeded our initial expectation.
