If I want to pass my exam, I will have to study harder. vs If I want to pass my exam, I would have to study harder.

The correct phrase is: 'If I want to pass my exam, I will have to study harder.' The use of the word 'will' is appropriate in this context to express a future action based on a condition. 'Would' isn't suitable here as it implies a hypothetical or less certain outcome.
