were+to-infinitive in 2nd conditional
Hello!
I wonder if we can use “were+to-infinitive” in 2nd conditionals for present events or it is used only for imagining about the future?
For example "if I were to pass my exam now I wouldn't do it" - is it correct?
Thank you!

It is used for imagining the future - but that future could be the immediate future. Your sentence makes no sense. You are saying 'if I do X I won't do X'.
