Tengo que tomar un examen la semana entrante o Tendré que tomar un examen la semana entrante.

Both are correct. Just as in English, in Spanish we many times use present tense to mean future. The difference in nuance is that tengo que is more immediate and critical, and tendré que is more projected into the future as in nothing to worry about at the moment.

depends on what you are trying to say "Tengo que tomar" = I have to take "Tendré que tomar" = I will have to take

I would say the correct way is "tomare un exam".1st person singular, future tense.I will/shall take an exam

That is correct, but it is saying something else. - rogspax, Nov 15, 2013
Don't forget the accent on the future tense. - katydew, Nov 15, 2013
