Key Points

  •  We use 'too' (adverb) meaning ‘more than enough (in a negative sense)’ in different positions.
    • Ex: This coffee is too sweet.
  • We don't use 'too' to emphasize adjectives; we use 'very' for that purpose.
    • Ex: She was too beautiful.
    • Ex: She was very beautiful.
  • 'Much' is not followed by a positive degree of adjectives.
    • Ex: He is much/so brilliant.
  • 'More' doesn't fit here contextually.
  • Adverb 'Very' is used to emphasize adjectives and we need to do the same with adjective 'glad'.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I am very glad to learn about your brilliant success in the examination.
