Your inquiry can be addressed by noting that the phrase "John wants to really do well on this exam" has a specific issue: the presence of a split infinitive.

A split infinitive, which may also be referred to as a cleft infinitive, represents a grammatical structure where an element intervenes between the to and the base form of the verb that follows it. Typically, this interruption comes from an adverb or an adverbial expression. In this particular example, the term inserted between the infinitive particle and the main verb is the adverb "really."
