近いうちに is a common expression. Means something like 'soon' or 'near future' (examples)– oalsCommented Nov 9, 2016 at 19:53

Chikai 近い can be used for time definitely.
試験(が)もう近いです
Shiken(ga) mou chikai desu.
This is a totally acceptable expression, preferably with the particle 'ga'.
Yes, you can use 近い
But you can also use もうすぐ to better express the nuance of "just round the corner".
もうすぐ{LLLL}試験です。
