I did test. I took test. Is the use of test accurate?

I heard people say “I took a test” in the US more often than I did a test”. Usually when someone says that “they took a test” it either means that they had their abilities tested by someone else or they had something of theirs tested such as their blood at a hospital for example, and usually when someone says “I did a test” they’re talking about something they tested themselves like a car, a computer, or a video game, for example “I did a test with the car”. What are some interesting pictures of blood test results that I took myself or some other one else?

If I had a blood test at home was I already very ill and took the blood test for me no matter how bad the blood test was….

I took a math test at the middle school. How did I prepare for it?

I failed the math test the first day of school. I was extremely scared. I studied algebra and calculus for ten years. I was surprised. I didn’t get done.

What do you think of the new rules that emerged from the OPEC?

I remember I did a math test in high school. I thought I will fail”, and since I am interested in math not really, I hate. I would never say that, nor I would say “I did a test with the car”. If someone had said it a bit odd, why?

Whether or not the person is being performance tested, I (or the person) are having ability tested, i will always use take. How do I use the calculator for my tests?

  • I took a math test on the exam. What should I do?
  • Jane took a spelling test on Friday.
  • Frank took a drug test. He said that he was never intoxicated. If so, why did he give it a shot? “I got” an image

to be a medical test, where the person doesn’t really do anything but show up and let the doctor or technician perform the test, I would most often use “had,” or perhaps

  • “got” I had an eye
  • test I got a blood test at the hospital.

I might also use “was given” or “they gave me” a test.

In school and in jobs if I am the one performing the tests, I

would probably say something like: I tested the car.

If I’m performing the test, and I want to name a specific test, I might use “did” I

  • did a speed test on the computer. I’m doing every test every day and despite “doing” a test will be the name of the test. But no word of your test will be found.
  • I do a regression test on the software.

I will be more likely to use that form in a professional or technical context, where the details of the test are likely to be discussed.

I don’t say that “did” is wrong in other contexts, but it does seem unusual to me.
