Dear all,

I hear people say "Success" as "sʌkˈses", but many dictionaries say "səkˈses", do you think ""sʌkˈses" is a correct pronunciation?

They're both acceptable.
 
Hi Raymott, I wanted to know which one is more common?
Probably /səkˈses/
But the stress is not on that syllable; an unstressed /ʌ/ is pretty much a /ə/ anyway.
