Exceed = Going over the limit of something, most of the time unintentionally
Ex:
- She exceeded the maximum age for joining the kiddie pool.
("surpassed" would sound alright here, but "exceeded" is definitely better)
- He exceeded the speed limit of the freeway, and now the cops are after him.
(If you use "surpass" here, it would sound like his goal was to go over the speed limit, which is very unusual)
Surpass = To beat something, like a record
Ex:
- I surpassed my sister's highscore in Flappy Bird.
("exceeded" sounds weird. "surpass" is definitely a lot better)
- She surpassed all her rivals.
