They are both fine, but "wish" makes it seem like you still wish you had passed it, whereas "wished" makes it past tense, like you no longer wish you had passed.

"I wish I had passed the exam" is a perfectly fine sentence. So is "I wished I had passed the exam".

your original variant is wrong. i wish i passed or i wished is had passed

I would say " I wish I had passed.....". If you want to say "wished" you would say "I wished I had passed....". But that just makes things less clear and more complicated.
