How to use 考 and 考试?
I have learnt that 考 and 考试 mean "to test", "to take/give a test" and "an exam".
If someone could tell me how to say "I have a Chinese test tomorrow." that would be very helpful.
谢谢

考is short for 考试 in some situations
I have a Chinese test tomorrow
我明天要考汉语。 or 我明天有一场汉语考试
考 is a verb and often means "考察"
but 考试 is usually a noun.
ex:快考试了,大家抓紧(时间) 复习.
我们明天考汉语,后天考英语.
hope it can help you

考 is a transitive verb, while 考试 can be used as an intransitive verb or a noun.
"I have a Chinese test tomorrow." = 我明天要考中文/汉语. or 我明天有中文/汉语考试.
