OTHER OPTIONS

• He told he wished he didn’t have to take examination.: Incorrect because it lacks a direct object after "told"; it should be "told us."

• He asked that he wished he didn’t have to take examination.: Incorrect because the verb "asked" does not appropriately convey the meaning of expressing a wish.

• He told that he wishes that he didn’t have to take examination.: Incorrect because "wishes" is in the present tense, while it should be "wished" to match the indirect speech.
