Yeah, that context makes sense. I suppose I view a test and exam as different things, and I think "exam" comes from Latin. Is there a word you would use instead? Εξέταση? *"test" also comes from Latin.
Yes, exams in universities are εξετάσεις and the exams period εξεταστική περίοδος. "Τεστ" is something in school only, when the teacher comes in and says "Take out a sheet, we are writing a test"=Βγάλτε μια κόλλα, γράφουμε τεστ. In other words it is "πρόχειρο διαγώνισμα". There is no "τεστ" in universities. Τεστ is an unofficial word. Some prefer to say πρόχειρο διαγώνισμα.

I translated "Το test ηταν δυσκολο..."and it was not accepted...Given that test is apparently an english word used or accepted by the modern Greek language I wonder why?..Please correct me if I am wrong...A Greek practice lesson...
