The construction "Not only ... but also" at the beginning of a sentence requires inversion: the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. The second part ("she also got") is in the Past Simple, so the first part needs the Past Simple too. This gives "did + subject + base verb": "did she pass". The variants "she passed" and "she did pass" keep normal word order without inversion, so they are wrong after a fronted "Not only". The variant "had she passed" uses the Past Perfect, which does not fit because both actions are equal in time.
