In my French - Japanese dictionary, there is an explanation of the usage of «passer» (verb intransitive), the example there says «J’ai passé à l’écrit (= I passed the writing exam)», whereas Kwiziq explains that 'in French, «passer» never means 'to pass an exam'.
So, practically, «passer» in French also means 'to pass an exam' occasionally?
One of the possible answers for the end of the last sentence was I believe "...dès que je peux" for the translation of "as soon as I can".

Can you explain why present is preferable to future?
