Tense

" You will wish you hadn't taken the test." Is the use of tense correct in this sentence when I am saying this to a person who hasn't taken the test yet , but is determined and sure to take the test ?

Your sentence is correct. The past perfect is normally used in the subordinate clause when the subordinate clause refers to an earlier time than the main clause.
