Is this correct, 'at three in this afternoon'? For example, 'We'll have a test at three in this afternoon'? Should I omit 'in' before 'this afternoon'? Similarly, what about the use of 'in' before 'that'? Thank you so much!I'm confused by whether we use preposition word like 'in' before 'this' or 'that'. Sometimes I see expressions like 'in this morning'.

Hello Helen, I would just say 'We have a test at three this afternoon.'. I an\m mot really sure what you meant by 'that' unless it is for past time. 'We had a test at three that afternoon'. Hope this helps Bob

you can say we have a test at 3 this after noon, or we have a test in the afternoon at 3.

You can say: We will have a test at three in the afternoon. We will have a test at three this afternoon. "In this" sounds unnatural for this context.

In this instance, we cannot use "in" before "this". In that way, it might be confusing to second language learners. ;) It seems like your true question is about a rule you can follow 100% of the time and not just your example question. I cannot think of many times we collocate the 2 words together, but there are definitely some occasions that we do.
